Security > IEEE 802.1X

Advanced Mode

Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802�1x, which is a port-based network

access control� The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server

must support and enable 802�1x settings�

The 802�1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks, which provides

authentication to network devices (clients) attached to a network port (wired or wireless)� If all

certicates between client and server are veried, a point-to-point connection will be enabled; if

authentication fails, access on that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an existing protocol, the

Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to facilitate communication�

■

The components of a protected network with 802.1x authentication:

1�

Supplicant: A client end user (camera), which requests authentication�

2�

Authenticator (an access point or a switch): A “go between” which restricts unauthorized end

users from communicating with the authentication server�

3�

Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certificate and decides

whether to accept the end user’s access request�

■

VIVOTEK Network Cameras support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAP-

PEAP and EAP-TLS�

Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x settings:

1� Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected network with 802�1x, please apply

a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (i�e�, your network administrator) which can be

validated by a RADIUS server�

2� Connect the Network Camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN� Open the

conguration page of the Network Camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS as

the EAP method� In the following blanks, enter your ID and password issued by the CA, then

upload related certicate(s).
