Authentication Protocol Hierarchy

There is a hierarchy of authentication protocols defined for the AP.

The hierarchy is as follows, from Highest to lowest:

802.1x authentication
MAC Access Control via RADIUS Authentication
MAC Access Control through individual APs' MAC Access Control

Lists

If both 802.1x and MAC authentication are enabled, the 802.1x results will
take effect. This is required in order to propagate the WEP keys to the
clients in such cases. Once you disable 802.1x on the AP, you will see the
effects of MAC authentication.

SSID, VLAN, and Security Modes

The AP allows you to segment wireless networks into multiple
sub-networks based on Network Name (SSID) and VLAN membership,
and to apply security modes per SSID.

NOTE:
The ability to configure up to 16 VLAN/SSID pairs and configure a
security mode per SSID is available only for the AP-6, and APs that
have an 802.11a/b/g or 802.11b/g Upgrade Kit installed.
