process. Uses standard 802.11 authentication for all others.

Disabled

Global Configuration

• When 802.1X is disabled, the access point does not support 802.1X 

authentication for any station. After successful 802.11 association, each 
client is allowed to access the network.

• When 802.1X is supported, the access point supports 802.1X 

authentication only for clients initiating the 802.1X authentication process 
(i.e., the access point does NOT initiate 802.1X authentication). For
