3. Configure the parameters for 802.1x authentication. The 802.1x
parameters are explained below.
802.1x Authentication
Determines if this access point uses 802.1x authentication.
IAPP Security Context Hand Off
Enable this feature to use IAPP (Inter Access Point protocol) for
security context handoffs. This feature uses the advantages of the
spanning tree for faster roaming. Devices do not have to perform
a full reauthentication each time they roam between access
points.
Disable this feature if you want to use the 802.1x standard for
reauthentication or if the supplicant functionality that is
implemented on the device does not support it.
IAPP Secret Key
Enter a key that the access points use to encrypt and sign security
context exchanges. This key must be the same in all access points
and can contain from 1 to 32 characters. It is recommended that
this key contain at least 16 characters. You can enter the key in
ASCII or in hexadecimal. To enter a hexadecimal key, it must start
with 0x. For example, enter the ASCII key as ABCDE; enter the
same hexadecimal key as 0x4142434445.
Key Rotation Period
Enter how often (in seconds) you want the access point to
generate a new WEP key to use in the wireless network.
RADIUS Server #1 IP Address
Enter the IP address of the RADIUS server that you want to use to
perform the authentication.
RADIUS Server #1 Secret Key
Enter the shared secret key for the RADIUS server. You can enter
the key from 1 to 32 characters in ASCII or in hexadecimal. To enter
a hexadecimal key, it must start with 0x. For example, enter the
ASCII key as ABCDE; enter the same hexadecimal key as
0x4142434445.
RADIUS Server #2 IP Address
Enter the IP address of the backup RADIUS server that you want to
perform the authentication if RADIUS server #1 is unavailable.
RADIUS Server #2 Secret Key
Enter the shared secret key for the backup RADIUS server. You can
enter the key from 1 to 32 characters in ASCII or in hexadecimal.
