Security—How to Configure 802.1x EAP Authentication

3. Click

the

802.1x EAP Configuration button to display a sub-screen for specific

authentication settings.

4. Check

the

Enable Reauthentication check box to enable this authentication method.

5. Set the EAP reauthentication period to match the appropriate level of security. A shorter

time interval (~ 30 seconds or longer) provides tighter security on this WLAN’s
wireless connections. A longer interval (5000-9999 seconds) relaxes security on
wireless connections. The reauthentication period setting does not affect a wireless
connection’s throughput. The engaged access port continues to forward traffic during
the reauthentication process.
