Table 7-6. Authentication Options
Authentication Description
None Default setting when authentication is not required on the network.
EAP TLS Select this option to enable EAP TLS authentication. EAP TLS is an authentication 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. EAP TLS achieves this through secure authentication certificates.
PEAP Select this option to enable PEAP authentication. This method uses a digital certificate to verify and authenticate a user's
identity.
LEAP Select this option to enable LEAP authentication. LEAP is founded on mutual authentication. The AP and the mobile computer
attempting to connect to it require authentication before access to the network is permitted.
TTLS Select this option to enable TTLS authentication.
