WLAN Security Settings

By enabling the 802.11X, you can use the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), a framework

authentication protocol used by 802.1X, to provide network authentication. Such enterprise-level security

modes require a back-end Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server if IEEE 802.1X

functionality is enabled in WPA/WPA2. The IEEE 802.1X protocol also provides the ability possibility to carry out

efficient connection authentication for a large-scale network. It is not necessary to exchange keys or

passphrases.

When you enable EAP, the WPA/WPA2-enterprise wireless security functions of the managed APs will be

disabled. The WAC-1001 will then act as an EAP proxy or relay to support WAP/WPA2-enterprise wireless

security.
