IEEE 802.1X
IEEE 802.1X is a standard for port-based Network Admission Control p roviding secure authentication of wired and wireless network
devices. IEEE 802.1X is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X, devices must authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by a
third-party entity called an authe nti cation s e rver , typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft
Internet Authentication Service.
In Axis' im plementation, the network device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with the help of digital
certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certificates are provided by an
Certification Authority (CA). You need:
•aCAcertifica te to validate the identity of the authentication server
• a CA -signed c lie nt certifica te and a private key to authenticate the network device.
To allow the network device to access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X:
1. Obtain a CA certificate, a client certificate and a client private key (contact your network administrator).
2. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X and upload the CA certifi cate, the client certificate and the
client private key.
3. Under Settings, select the EAPOL version, provide your EAP identity and private key password.
4. Check the box to enable IEEE 802.1X and click Save.
Certificates
CA Certificate The CA certificate is used to validate the identity of the authentication server. Enter the path to
the certificate directly, or locate the file using the Browse button. Then click U

Client certificate
Client private key
The client certificate and private key are used to authen tica te the network device. They can be
uploaded as separate files or in one combined file (e.g. a PFX file or a PEM file). Use the Client
private key field i f uploading one combined file. For each file, enter the path to the fi le

Date & T ime
The Axis product’s date and time settings are configured under System Options > Date & Time.
Current Server Time displays the current date and time (24h clock). The time can be d isplayed in 12h clock in the text overlay (see
below).
To cha n ge the date and time setting s, select the preferred Time mode under New Server Time:
• Synchronize with computer time sets date and time according to the com puter’s clock. W ith this option, date a nd
time are set once and w ill not be upd ated automatically.
• Synchronize with NTP Server obtains date and time from an NTP server. With this option, date a nd time settings are
updated con tinuously. F or information on NTP settings, see
NTP Configuration on page 38 .
