Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication
On networks that use IEEE 802.1X, port-based network access control, a supplicant (client) cannot gain access to
the network until the 802.1X authenticator grants access. If your network uses 802.1X, you must configure 802.1X
authentication information that the AP can supply to the authenticator.
If your network uses IEEE 802.1X see
“Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication” on page
16
for information about
how to configure 802.1X by using the Web interface.
Verifying the Installation
Make sure the access point is connected to the LAN and associate some wireless clients with the network. Once you
have tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more security and fine-tune the AP by modifying
advanced configuration features.
1.)
Connect the access point to the LAN.
•)
If you configured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a network hub, then your
access point is already connected to the LAN. The next step is to test some wireless clients.
•)
If you configured the access point by using a direct cable connection from your computer to the access point,
do the following procedures:
•) Disconnect the cable from the computer and the access point.
•)
Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN.
•)
Connect your computer to the LAN by using an Ethernet cable or a wireless card.
2.)
Test LAN connectivity with wireless clients.
Test the UAP by trying to detect it and associate with it from some wireless client devices. For information about
requirements for these clients, see
“Wireless Client Requirements” on page 9
.
3.)
Secure and configure the access point by using advanced features.
Once the wireless network is up and you can connect to the AP with some wireless clients, you can add in layers
of security, create multiple virtual access points (VAPs), and configure performance settings.
Note:
The WLAN AP is not designed for multiple, simultaneous configuration changes. If more
than one administrator is logged onto the Administration Web pages and making changes to the
configuration, there is no guarantee that all configuration changes specified by multiple users will
be applied.
