802.1X is the IEEE standard that offers additional security for local area networks. It

used in conjunction with the 802.1X standard to authenticate users at the MAC layer.
Available EAPs are listed in the drop-down menu next to the EAP option.
• To activate 802.1X, highlight 802.1x authentication, and check the checkbox.
