Select the Authentication Method from the pull-down list. • EAP: EAP relay mode. IEEE 802.1X authentication system uses extensible authentication protocol (EAP) to exchange information between the switch and the client. The EAP protocol packets with authentication data can be encapsulated in the advanced protocol (such as RADIUS) packets to be transmitted to the authentication server. • PAP: EAP termination mode. IEEE 802.1X authentication system uses extensible authentication protocol (EAP) to exchange information between the switch and the client. The transmission of EAP packets is terminated at the switch and the EAP packets are converted to the other protocol (such as RADIUS) packets for transmission. Enable/Disable the Handshake feature. The Handshake feature is used to detect the connection status between the TP-Link 802.1X Client and the switch. Please disable Handshake feature if you are using other client softwares instead of TP-Link 802.1X Client. 173

EAP:
EAP relay mode. IEEE 802.1X authentication
system uses extensible authentication protocol

and the client. The EAP protocol packets with
authentication data can be encapsulated in the
advanced protocol (such as RADIUS) packets to
be transmitted to the authentication server.
PAP:
EAP
termination
mode.

system
uses

exchange
information between the switch and the client. The
transmission of EAP packets is terminated at the
switch and the EAP packets are converted to the

transmission.
Handshake:
Enable/Disable the Handshake feature. The Handshake
feature is used to detect the connection status
between the TP-Link 802.1X Client and the switch.
Please disable Handshake feature if you are using
