3. When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to an

802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically.

The authentication process for 802.1x:

1. The Certificate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certificates to the Network Camera (the

supplicant) and the RADIUS Server (the authentication server).

2. A Network Camera requests access to the protected LAN using 802.1X via a switch (the

authenticator). The client offers its identity and client certificate, which is then forwarded by the

switch to the RADIUS Server, which uses an algorithm to authenticate the Network Camera and
returns an acceptance or rejection back to the switch.

3. The switch also forwards the RADIUS Server’s certificate to the Network Camera.
4. Assuming all certificates are validated, the switch then changes the Network Camera’s state to

authorized and is allowed access to the protected network via a pre-configured port.
