EAP and 802.1X Authentication
The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) supports multiple types of authentication methods,
including digital certificates, smart cards, and passwords. This authentication protocol is the basis for the
IEEE 802.1X standard, which provides port-based network access control for both wired and wireless
networks.
Amigopod OS 2.1 and later supports EAP and 802.1X authentication. This authentication method requires
EAP messages to be encapsulated inside RADIUS packets. The RADIUS server must also be configured
with the appropriate settings for the EAP types that will be used.
To view or modify a RADIUS server’s EAP configuration, go to RADIUS > Authentication > EAP &
802.1X. The Extensible Authentication Protocol page opens, and includes command links for server
configuration and certificate management.
