4.6.4.2 802.1x
802.1x is a security protocol for WLAN. It is a port-based network access control that keeps the
network port disconnected until authentication is completed. 802.1x is based on extensible
authentication protocol (EAP). EAP messages from the authenticator to the authentication server
typically use the remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) protocol. Refer to Error!
Reference source not found.. Enter the IP Address of the RADIUS Server (for 802.1x
authentication purposes). This is used only when you have a RADIUS Server and want to use it
for authentication. Almost all homes and offices do not have a RADIUS Server. Refer to Figure
1-60.
