Key (2 through 4)—The RADIUS key associated with the configured backup RADIUS

802.1X Supplicant

IEEE 802.1X authentication enables the access point to gain access to a secured wired 
network. You can enable the access point as an 802.1X supplicant (client) on the wired 
network. A user name and password that are encrypted using the MD5 algorithm can be 
configured to allow the access point to authenticate using 802.1X.

On networks that use IEEE 802.1X port-based network access control, a supplicant cannot 
gain access to the network until the 802.1X authenticator grants access. If your network uses 
802.1X, you must configure 802.1X authentication information on the WAP device, so that it 
can supply it to the authenticator.
