802.1x

You can enable 802.1x authentication, which is a port-based authentication. If this
authentication is enabled, the machine is not allowed to access through the protected side
of the network until the machine is authorized. Use this feature to protect your network.

802.1x Security

• 802.1x Security : Check to enable this feature.

• Authentication Algorithm : Select the authentication algorithm to use.

EAP-MD5 : Offers minimal security. The MD5 hash function is vulnerable to
dictionary attacks, and does not support key generation.

– PEAPv0/EAP-MS-CHAPv2 : Recommended for users who only intend to use

Microsoft desktop clients and servers. For other users, it is not recommended.

EAP-MS-CHAPv2 : MS-CHAPv2 provides two-way authentication between peers
by combining a peer Challenge message with the Response packet and an
authenticator Response message on the Success packet.

– TLS : This is used to provide secure communication over the Internet between a

client and server.

• Credentials : Enter the User Name, Password, and Confirm Password to use for the

authentication.

• Server Validation : select/unselect the certificate to use for validation. This option

appears when you select PEAPv0/EAP-MS-CHAPv2 or TLS.

User Access Control

You can restrict users from accessing the machine or application. You can also give specific
permission for user to only use certain feature of the machine. For example, you can allow
user A to only use print feature. In this case, user A will not be able to scan, copy or fax with
the machine.
