Configuring Enterprise Protocol Settings

form, click the Protocols tab.
Use this form to specify the authentication methods required by your network infrastructure. The default EAP
type is TLS for all platforms that support this method.
The following best practices are recommended when choosing the 802.1X authentication methods to
provision:
l Configure PEAP with MS-CHAPv2 for Onboard devices – Android, Windows, and legacy OS X (10.5/10.6).
l Configure EAP-TLS for iOS devices and OS X (10.7 or later).
