DescriptionWhat are some important things to note about the PEAP/TTLS feature or 802.1x Termination on the Meru Controller?
Solution802.1x Termination: 802.1x-Termination is provided by IOSCLI and
Controller GUI, to perform configuration on per-security profile basis.
Select one of the following in the 802.1x Termination
list:
PEAP: PEAP (Protected
Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a version of EAP, the
authentication protocol used in wireless networks and Point-to-Point
connections. It is designed to provide more secure authentication for
802.11 WLANs (wireless local area networks) that support 802.1X port
access control. It authenticates the server with a public key
certificate and carries the authentication in a secure Transport Layer
Security (TLS).
TTLS: TTLS
(Tunneled Transport Layer Security) is a proposed wireless security
protocol.
Note: When 802.1x
Termination is enabled, Meru’s default certificate is used. In
this case, the certificate must be “trusted” on the
wireless client end in order for authentication to be successful. Refer
to Security Certificates on the Controller's Config Guide for details
on how to import a
certificate.
Note: When PEAP/TTLS
is configured on the Radius server, PEAP/TTLS termination should be
disabled on the controller.
