Authentication ensures only known and trusted users or devices access an access point managed
WLAN. Authentication is enabled per WLAN to verify the identity of both users and devices.
Authentication is a challenge and response procedure for validating user credentials such as user
name, password and secret-key information.
A client must authenticate to an access point to receive resources from the network. 802.1x EAP,
802.1x EAP-PSK, MAC and PSK/None authentication options are supported.
Refer to the following to configure a WLAN’s authentication scheme:
• 802.1x EAP, EAP-PSK and EAP MAC
