When the authentication process is complete, the end device receives
the current WEP key from the access point. This WEP key is automatically
generated and periodically rotated to provide a more secure network.

Note
Currently, you cannot use this 802.1x authentication over wireless
hops.

Note
Since 802.1x authentication uses rotating WEP keys that are
automatically generated, you do not configure IEEE 802.11b Radio
WEP or IEEE 802.11a Radio WEP. You only configure these
parameters if you are using static WEP keys.

To configure 802.1x security:

1. From the main menu, click Security and then click 802.1x. The 802.1x

screen appears as shown in Figure 60.

Figure 60 802.1x

2. If 802.1x Authentication is disabled, click the down arrow on the right

side of the 802.1x Authentication field and then choose Enabled. Click
Submit Changes.
