802.1x security setting

Gogocar

I want to set up the 802.1x security profile with AD server authentication, but it didn't work after I set up.
After I changed the "Radius Server Type" to internal, it worked correctly.
What's the difference between internal and external?
If I used an external server for authentication, it should be selected to "external", right?

Hi @Gogocar

About the AD server not work, there is a Handbook you can refer to check the configuration.

Please refer to the page 91.

About the Radius type, you can refer the the FAQ,

What is the difference between “internal” and “external” for the RADIUS servers type in the NXC?
