Different servers support different EAP types and each EAP type provides 
different features. Refer to the documentation that came with your 
RADIUS server to determine which EAP types it supports.

NOTE:
The AP supports the following EAP types when Authentication 
Mode is set to 802.1x or WPA: EAP-TLS, PEAP, and EAP-TTLS. 
When Authentication Mode is set to Mixed, the AP supports the 
following EAP types: EAP-TLS, PEAP, EAP-TLLS, and EAP-MD5 
(MD5 does not support automatic key distribution; therefore, if you 
choose this method you need to manually configure each client with 
the network's encryption key).
