Configuring LAN connections

Use the LAN Connections (8.6+) page to configure the LAN connections for ThinOS 8.6 and later version devices.

Table 1. Configuring IEEE 802.1X settingsConfiguring IEEE 802.1X settings
Option Description
Network Type From the drop-down list, select the preferred option. The system automatically restarts and the changes to network type are applied.
Ethernet Speed From the drop-down list, select the preferred option. The selected option is stored in the non-volatile memory. The system automatically restarts and the changes to Ethernet speed are applied.
Enable IEEE802.1x Authentication Select this option to enable IEEE802.1x authentication. IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). It is part of the IEEE 802.1 group of networking protocols. It provides an authentication mechanism to the devices with LAN or WLAN.
EAP Type From the drop-down menu, select your preferred option. The available options are:
  • Light weight extensible authentication protocol (EAP-LEAP)—This is an authentication protocol used in wireless networks and point-to-point connections. LEAP is designed to provide more secure authentication for 802.11 WLANs (wireless local area networks) that support 802.1X port access control.
  • Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS)—It provides client and server authentication. It is often used for wireless networking and it is one of the stronger forms of authentication for both the wireless client and server.
  • Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP-PEAP)—It is a protocol that captures the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) within an encrypted and authenticated Transport Layer Security (TLS) tunnel. It provides client and server authentication.
  • Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST[8.3])—It is used in wireless networks and point-to-point connections to perform session authentication. The purpose of EAP-FAST[8.3] is to replace the Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP). LEAP is a wireless authentication protocol that contains known security vulnerabilities when used with weak passwords. EAP-FAST addresses these vulnerabilities by performing authentication over a TLS tunnel, which is established using a Protected Access Credential (PAC).
FAST Type From the drop-down menu, select your preferred option. This option is applicable only for EAP-FAST[8.3].
LEAP user name Enter the leap user name in the provided field. This option is applicable only for EAP-LEAP.
LEAP Password Enter the leap password in the provided field. This option is applicable only for EAP-LEAP.
Server Validate Select this check box if you want the system to validate the server connection. This option is applicable only for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP.
Server Check Select the check box to check the sever connection. This option is applicable only for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP.
Server Name Enter the server name. This option is applicable only for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP.
Client Certificate Filename Enter the client certificate file name. This option is applicable only for EAP-TLS.
PrivateKey Client Certificate Password Enter the private key client certificate password in the provided field. This option is applicable only for EAP-TLS.
TLS Authentication Type From the drop-down menu, select your preferred option. This option is applicable only for EAP-TLS.
PEAP TLS Version From the drop-down menu, select your preferred option. This option is applicable only for EAP-TLS.
PEAP Type From the drop-down menu, select your preferred option. This option is applicable only for EAP-PEAP.
EAP Identity Enter the EAP identity. This option is applicable only for EAP-PEAP and EAP-FAST[8.3].
user name Enter the user name. This option is applicable only for EAP-PEAP and EAP-FAST[8.3].
Password Enter the password. This option is applicable only for EAP-PEAP and EAP-FAST[8.3].
Hide Domain Select the check box to hide the domain. This option is applicable only for EAP-PEAP and EAP-FAST[8.3].
Domain Enter the domain name. This option is applicable only for EAP-PEAP and EAP-FAST[8.3].
Enable Single Signon Select the check box to enable the single sign on functionality. This option is applicable only for EAP-PEAP and EAP-FAST[8.3].
