Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication
IEEE 802.1X is an authentication function that can be used with both wired and wireless networks. Authentication is performed by the authentication server (RADIUS server).
You can select 4 types of EAP authentication method: EAP-TLS, LEAP, EAP-TTLS and PEAP. Note that each EAP authentication method has different configuration settings and authentication procedures.

EAP-TLS | Root certificate, Device certificate (IEEE 802.1X Client Certificate) |
LEAP | - |
EAP-TTLS | Root certificate |
PEAP | Root certificate |
PEAP (Phase 2 is for TLS only) | Root certificate, Device certificate (IEEE 802.1X Client Certificate) |
