ENWW Using the Embedded Web Server 150

802.1x Authentication

(Full-featured print servers only) This page allows you to configure

802.1X authentication settings on the Jetdirect print server as

required for client authentication on your network. In addition, you

can reset the 802.1X authentication settings to factory-default

values.

CAUTION Use caution when changing the 802.1X

authentication settings; you may lose your

connection. If communication with the

printer/MFP device is lost, you may need to reset

the print server to a factory-default state and then

reinstall the device.

For most 802.1X networks, the infrastructure components (such as

LAN switches) must use 802.1X protocols to control a port's access

to the network. If these ports do not allow partial or guest access,

the print server may need to be configured with your 802.1X

parameters prior to connection.

To configure initial 802.1X settings before connecting to your

network, you can use an isolated LAN, or a direct computer

connection using a cross-over cable.

The supported 802.1X authentication protocols and associated

configuration depend on the print server model and firmware

version. Available configuration settings are listed in Table 4.14

Enable Management

Protocols

Enable or disable Telnet access and the use of FTP to

upgrade firmware on the print server. Telnet and FTP are

not secure protocols and device passwords may be

intercepted.

Enable or disable RCFG, a remote IPX configuration

protocol used by older management tools to configure

Novell NetWare parameters. Disabling RCFG does not

affect direct mode printing using IPX/SPX.

Disabling Telnet, FTP firmware upgrades, and RCFG is

recommended.
