Vivotek FD8161 User Manual - Use-IP

VIVOTEK3. When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to an802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically.NOTE► The authentication process for 802.1x:1. The Certificate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certificates to the Network Camera (thesupplicant) and the RADIUS Server (the authentication server).2. A Network Camera requests access to the protected LAN using 802.1X via a switch (the authenticator).The client offers its identity and client certificate, which is then forwarded by the switch to the RADIUSServer, which uses an algorithm to authenticate the Network Camera and returns an acceptance orrejection back to the switch.3. The switch also forwards the RADIUS Server’s certificate to the Network Camera.4. Assuming all certificates are validated, the switch then changes the Network Camera’s state toauthorized and is allowed access to the protected network via a pre-configured port.1CertificateCertificate Authority(CA)1Certificate24VIVOTEKNetwork CameraNetwork Switch3Protected LANRADIUS ServerUser's Manual - 41
