When 802.1x authentication is enabled, the Fiery server uses one of the two EAP methods to seek authentication for an Ethernet connection from
an 802.1x authentication server (such as a RADIUS server), often through an intermediate access
point (an authenticator).
The Fiery server seeks this authentication at startup time, or when the Ethernet cable is disconnected
and reconnected. If the Fiery server is successfully authenticated, it
is allowed access to the network.
- From Configure, choose .
- If you want the Fiery server to request authentication over 802.1x
when connecting to the network, select Enable 802.1x
Authentication.
- From the Select EAP Type menu,
select the type of EAP.
- Enter the user name and password.
This is what the Fiery server uses to request authentication from an 802.1x authentication
server.
- If you chose PEAP-MSCHAPv2 as the EAP type and
want the Fiery server to use a trusted root certificate when
communicating with the authentication server, select Validate Server
Certificate.
If you want the Fiery server to validate the server certificate, place the certificate in
the list of trusted certificates of the Fiery server. See Manage
certificates.
