3. When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to an

802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically.

► Below is the authentication process for 802.1x:

1. The Certicate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certicates to the Network

Camera (the supplicant) and the RADIUS Server (the authentication server).

2. A Network Camera requests access to the protected LAN using 802.1X via a switch (the

authenticator). The client offers its identity and client certicate, which is then forwarded

by the switch to the RADIUS Server, which uses an algorithm to authenticate the Network

Camera and returns an acceptance or rejection back to the switch.

3. The switch also forwards the RADIUS Server’s certicate to the Network Camera.

4. Assuming all certicates are validated, the switch then changes the Network Camera’s state

to authorized and is allowed access to the protected network via a pre-congured port.
