Security 802 1x IEEE 802 1x is an IEEE standard for port based Network Admission Control It provides authentication to devices attached to a network port wired or wireless establishing a point to point connection If authentication fails access is prevented on the port 802 1x is based on EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol In a 802 1x enabled network switch clients equipped with the correct software can be authenticated and allowed or denied network access at the Ethernet level Clients and servers in an 802 1x network may need to authenticate each other by some means In the Axis implementation this is done with the help of digital certificates provided by a Certification Authority These are then validated by a third party entity such as a RADIUS server examples of which are Free Radius and Microsoft Internet Authentication Service To perform the authentication the RADIUS server uses various EAP methods protocols of which there are many The one used in the Axis implementation is EAP TLS EAP Transport Layer Security The AXIS network video device presents its certificate to the network switch which in turn forwards this to the RADIUS server The RADIUS server validates or rejects the certificate and responds to the switch and sends its own certificate to the client for validation The switch then allows or denies network access accordingly on a pre configured port 36 AXIS 221 System Options The authenticati
