Pass Through Mode
In pass through mode, the certificate and private key are created by the third-party Certificate
Authentication application. To successfully configure 802.1x authentication of a Wireless AP, the
Wireless AP must first be configured for 802.1x authentication before the Wireless AP is deployed
on a 802.1x enabled switch port.
Before you configure 802.1x using EAP-TLS authentication in pass through mode, you must first
create a certificate using the third-party Certificate Authentication application and save the
certificate file in PKCS #12 file format (.pfx file extension) on your system.
To Configure 802.1x EAP-TLS Authentication in Pass Through Mode:
1. From the top menu, click Wireless APs. The Wireless AP screen is displayed.
