Overview

The Xerox machine supports IEEE 802.1X Authentication via Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). 
IEEE 802.1X ensures all machines on the network are authenticated and authorized to use the network. 
802.1X can be enabled for machines connected through wired Ethernet networks.

The Administrator can configure the machine to use one EAP type. EAP types supported on the Xerox 
machine are:

•

EAP-MD5

•

PEAPv0/EAP-MS-CHAPv2

•

EAP-MS-CHAPv2

•

EAP-TLS

Note 

EAP-TLS may only be configured via Centre Ware Internet Services
