Default setting when authentication is not required on the network.

EAP-TLS

scheme through IEEE 802.1x. It authenticates users and ensures only valid users can
connect to the network. It also restricts unauthorized users from accessing transmitted
information by using secure authentication certificates.

to verify and authenticate a user's identity.

LEAP

Select this option to enable LEAP authentication, which is based on mutual
authentication. The AP and the connecting mobile computer require authentication
before gaining access to the network.

TTLS

Select this option to enable TTLS authentication.
