IEEE 802.1X
IEEE 802.1X is a standard for port-based Network Admission Control providing secure authentication of wired and wireless network
devices. IEEE 802.1X is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X, devices must be authenticated. The authentication is performed by an authentication
server, typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft Internet Authentication Service.
In Axis implementation, the Axis product and the authentication server identify them s el ves with digital certi fica tes using EA P-TLS
(Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certificates ar
eprovidedbyaCertification Authority (CA).
You need:
•aCAcertificate to authenticate the authentication server
• a CA-signed client certificate to authenticate the Axis product.
To create and install certificates, go to System Options > Security > Certificates.See

are preinstalled.
To allow the product to access a n etwork protected by IEEE 802.1X:
1. Go to System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X.
2. Select a CA Certificate and a Client Certificate from the lists of installed certificates.
3. Under Settings, select the EAPOL version and provide the EAP identity associated with the client certificate.
4. Check the box to enable IEEE 802.1X and click Save.
Note
For authentication to work properly, the date and time settings in the Axis product should b e synchronized with an NTP
server. See

Certificates a re used to authentica te devices o n a network. Typical applications include encrypted web browsing (HTTPS), network
protection via IEEE 802.1X and secure upload of images and notification messages for example via email. Two types of certificates
