IEEE 802.1X
IEEE 802.1X is a standard for port-based Network Admission Control providing secure authentication of wired and wireless network
devices. IEEE 802.1X is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X, devices must authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by a
third-party entity called an authentication server, typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft
Internet Authentication Service.
In Axis' implementation, the network de vice and the authentication server authenticate themselves with the help of digital
certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certificates are provided by an
Certification Authority (CA). You need:
•aCAcertificate to validate the identity of the authentication server
• a CA-signed clie nt certificate and a private key to authenticate the network device.
To allow the network d evice to access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X:
1. Obtain a CA certificate, a client certificate and a client private key (contact your network administrator).
2. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X and upload the CA certificate, the client certificate and the
client private key.
3. Under Settings, select the EAPOL v ersion, provide your EAP identity and private key password.
4. Check the box to enable IEEE 802.1X and click Save.
Certificates
CA Certificate The CA certificate is used to validate the identity of the authentication server. Enter the path to
the certificate directly, or lo cate the file using the Browse button. Then click U

Client certificate
Client private k ey
The client certificate and private key are used to authenticate the network device. They can be
uploaded as separate files or in one combined file (e.g. a PFX file or a PEM file). Use the Client
private key field if uploading one combined file. For each file, enter the path to the file, or locate the
