PEAP Installs the PEAP supplicant version included in the Install Wizard
file. Installing the PEAP supplicant enables the client to support
PEAP authentication. If this option is not selected now and you later
want to use PEAP, you must run this installation program again and
select this option.
Default: Unchecked
Note Refer to Chapter 5 for information on enabling PEAP.
Note To enable Cisco PEAP authentication, your computer must
run Windows 2000 with the Microsoft 802.1X supplicant
installed or Windows XP.
Note Service Pack 1 for Windows XP and the Microsoft 802.1X
supplicant for Windows 2000 include Microsoft’s PEAP
supplicant, which supports a Windows username and
password only and does not interoperate with Cisco’s PEAP
supplicant. To use Cisco’s PEAP supplicant, install the Install
Wizard file after Service Pack 1 for Windows XP or the
Microsoft 802.1X supplicant for Windows 2000. Otherwise,
Cisco’s PEAP supplicant is overwritten by Microsoft’s PEAP
supplicant.
