IEEE 802.1x is a port-based authentication protocol to secure communications over 802.11 Wireless LANs. As more residential and small office / home office (SOHO) gateways offer wireless connectivity in the home or SOHO environment, 802.1x provides a distributed mechanism for authentication and access control, which allows wireless LAN users to protect their data and computers from hacker attacks.


Jungo has developed an embedded 802.1x Port-Based Access Control Authentication module to allow broadband customer premise equipment (CPE) manufacturers to integrate standards-based and interoperable wireless LAN security features into their wireless access points. The module is tightly integrated with OpenRG, Jungo's leading residential and SOHO gateway software suite, supports both Linux and VxWorks operating systems and has been tested with wireless chipsets from a wide variety of vendors.

  1. The supplicant (client) requests authentication from a RADIUS client in a wireless access point. The RADIUS client requests authentication from a RADIUS server on the LAN or WAN
  2. Once the supplicant receives authentication, secure data transfer is allowed over 802.11a, b or g

By choosing Jungo's 802.1x module integrated with OpenRG, CPE manufacturers benefit from OpenRG's additional security modules, RG-Firewall and RG-VPN.
Together, these embedded modules enable manufacturers to design gateways with multiple layers of security and provide protection that goes beyond competing solutions.
In addition, OpenRG's intuitive and dynamic web-based management allows users to control the security of their local network through a user-friendly interface.
