Radius Roaming Out / 802.1x Authentication: These 2 functions can be enabled or disabled by checking the
radio button. Checking either of them makes the hyperlink called Radius Client List show up.
Click the hyperlink of Radius Client List to enter the Radius Client Configuration interface. Choose the
desired type, Disable, Roaming Out or 802.1x and key in the related data and then click Apply to complete the
settings.
¾ Radius Roaming Out: When “Radius Roaming Out” is selected, local users can login from other domains
by using their original accounts.
¾ 802.1x Authentication: 802.1x is a security standard for wired and wireless LANs. It encapsulates EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol) processes into Ethernet packets instead of using the protocol's native
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) environment, thus reducing some network overhead. It also puts the bulk of
the processing burden upon the client (called a supplicant in 802.1x parlance) and the authentication server
(such as a RADIUS), letting the "authenticator" middleman simply pass the packets back and forth.
