Configuring Security – 802.1x and RADIUS
When the 802.1x function is enabled, wireless users must authenticate this router first to
use the network service. The most common method of implementing 802.1x is by having
a RADIUS Server (contain an authentication database) on your LAN, so the router can
work simultaneously with it and get user's authentication profile for comparison.
Encryption Key Length: You can select either 64 bits or 128 bits.
RADIUS Server IP: The RADIUS server's IP address.
RADIUS port: The RADIUS server's service port.
RADIUS Shared Key: Key value shared by the RADIUS server and this router. This key
value should be consistent with the one in the RADIUS server.
