Configuring 802.1x in Your Client
802.1x security should be enabled whenever a RADIUS server is used. Windows 2000 clients
can use 802.1x/PEAP by downloading the free “Microsoft 802.1X Authentication Client”
download.
Use the following steps as a guideline to enable 802.1x. Your setup may be slightly different,
depending on the version of Windows you are running:
Step 1. Enable WEP, and check the box labeled “The key is provided for me automatically”.
See Configuring WEP in Your Client. WEP is used with 802.1x, but the key is
provided automatically during the authentication process.
Step 2. Click on the Authentication tab in the Wireless Network Properties window (the
window displayed while configuring WEP).
Step 3. Check the box next to “Enable network access control using IEEE 802.1X”
Step 4. Select “EAP type” and select either “Protected EAP (PEAP)” or “Smart card or other
certificate”.
Step 5. Select Properties to specify the method of obtaining authentication certificates that your
network uses. If “EAP type” is set to “Smart card or other certificate”, you must install
the user certificate, computer certificate, and RADIUS server certificate on the client
PC. If “Protected EAP (PEAP)” is selected, you only need to install the RADIUS server
certificate.
