IEEE 802.1X Authentication
In compliance with UC APL requirements for enhanced security of wireless local area networks that follow
the IEEE 802.11 standard, support for 802.1X Authentication has been included in this version.
802.1X Authentication requires that the RMX registers with a 802.1X Authentication Server and is
supported on RMX 1500/2000/4000 The authentication protocol is applied to each the following Network
Interface Controllers (NICs):
Management
Signaling
Media
The following 802.1X Authentication methods are supported:
EAP-MD5
EAP-TLS
PEAPv0
MSCHAPv2
Certificate Repository
Implementation of 802.1X Authentication requires a certificate, which is obtained from the Certificate
Repository.
Either one TLS certificate is retrieved for all IP services and their associated NICs,
If one certificate is retrieved for all NICs, the RMX will use the Management Certificate for all the
NICs.
or
A TLS certificate for each IP service and their associated NICs is retrieved from the Certificate
Repository:
If several different TLS certificates are retrieved, each NIC will use the certificate of the service
that it is associated with.
In a system configured with Multiple Network Services each IP service will use its own
certificate.
A NIC that does not have its own certificate will first attempt to use the Management
Certificate before using a self-signed certificate.
For RMX 2000, Network Separation must be implemented before configuring 802.1X
Authentication.
802.1X Authentication is not supported in Microsoft environments.
