Configuring an 802.1X client username and password
An 802.1X client-enabled device uses the configured username and password for 802.1X authentication.
Make sure the username and password configured on the device is consistent with the username and password configured on the authentication server. If any inconsistency occurs, the device cannot pass 802.1X authentication to access the network.
