LLDP and CDP: Turn on to allow automatic discovery on the network. Turning LLDP and CDP off can impact the PoE power negotiation. To resolve any issues with the PoE power negotiation, configure the PoE switch for hardware PoE power negotiation only.

Certificates are used to authenticate devices on a network. The device supports two types of certificates:

• Client/server certificates

  A client/server certificate validates the device’s identity, and can be self-signed or issued by a Certificate Authority (CA). A self-signed certificate offers limited protection and can be used before a CA-issued certificate has been obtained.

• CA certificates

  You can use a CA certificate to authenticate a peer certificate, for example to validate the identity of an authentication server when the device connects to a network protected by IEEE 802.1X. The device has several pre-installed CA certificates.

These formats are supported:

• Certificate formats: .PEM, .CER, and .PFX

• Private key formats: PKCS#1 and PKCS#12

Add certificate : Click to add a certificate. A step-by-step guide opens up.

• More: Show more fields to fill in or select.

• Secure keystore: Select to use Trusted Execution Environment (SoC TEE), Secure element or Trusted Platform Module 2.0 to securely store the private key. For more information on which secure keystore to select, go to help.axis.com/en-us/axis-os#cryptographic-support.

• Key type: Select the default or a different encryption algorithm from the drop-down list to protect the certificate.

The context menu contains:

• Certificate information: View an installed certificate’s properties.

• Delete certificate: Delete the certificate.

• Create certificate signing request: Create a certificate signing request to send to a registration authority to apply for a digital identity certificate.

Secure keystore:

• Trusted Execution Environment (SoC TEE): Select to use SoC TEE for secure keystore.

• Secure element (CC EAL6+): Select to use secure element for secure keystore.

• Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (CC EAL4+, FIPS 140-2 Level 2): Select to use TPM 2.0 for secure keystore.

IEEE 802.1x

IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for port-based network admission control providing secure authentication of wired and wireless network devices. IEEE 802.1x is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).

To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1x, network devices must authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by an authentication server, typically a RADIUS server (for example, FreeRADIUS and Microsoft Internet Authentication Server).

IEEE 802.1AE MACsec

IEEE 802.1AE MACsec is an IEEE standard for media access control (MAC) security that defines connectionless data confidentiality and integrity for media access independent protocols.

Certificates

When configured without a CA certificate, server certificate validation is disabled and the device tries to authenticate itself regardless of what network it is connected to.

When using a certificate, in Axis' implementation, the device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with digital certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security).

To allow the device to access a network protected through certificates, you must install a signed client certificate on the device.

Authentication method: Select an EAP type used for authentication.

Client certificate: Select a client certificate to use IEEE 802.1x. The authentication server uses the certificate to validate the client’s identity.

CA certificates: Select CA certificates to validate the authentication server’s identity. When no certificate is selected, the device tries to authenticate itself regardless of what network it is connected to.

EAP identity: Enter the user identity associated with the client certificate.

EAPOL version: Select the EAPOL version that is used in the network switch.

Use IEEE 802.1x: Select to use the IEEE 802.1x protocol.

These settings are only available if you use IEEE 802.1x PEAP-MSCHAPv2 as the authentication method:

• Password: Enter the password for your user identity.

• Peap version: Select the Peap version that is used in the network switch.

• Label: Select 1 to use client EAP encryption; select 2 to use client PEAP encryption. Select the Label that the network switch uses when using Peap version 1.

These settings are only available if you use IEEE 802.1ae MACsec (Static CAK/Pre-Shared Key) as the authentication method:

• Key agreement connectivity association key name: Enter the connectivity association name (CKN). It must be 2 to 64 (divisible by 2) hexadecimal characters. The CKN must be manually configured in the connectivity association and must match on both ends of the link to initially enable MACsec.

• Key agreement connectivity association key: Enter the connectivity association key (CAK). It should be either 32 or 64 hexadecimal characters long. The CAK must be manually configured in the connectivity association and must match on both ends of the link to initially enable MACsec.

Add user: Click to add a new user. You can add up to 100 users.

Username: Enter a unique username.

New password: Enter a password for the user. Passwords must be 1 to 64 characters long. Only ASCII printable characters (code 32 to 126) are allowed in the password, for example letters, numbers, punctuation, and some symbols.

Repeat password: Enter the same password again.

Role:

• Administrator: Has full access to all settings. Administrators can also add, update, and remove other users.

• Operator: Has access to all settings except:

• • All System settings.

• Viewer: Has access to:

• • Status

  • Display

The context menu contains:

Update user: Edit the user’s properties.

Delete user: Delete the user. You can’t delete the root user.

Reports

• View the device server report: Click to show information about the product status in a pop-up window. The Access Log is automatically included in the Server Report.

• Download the device server report: Click to download the server report. It creates a .zip file that contains a complete server report text file in UTF–8 format, as well as a snapshot of the current live view image. Always include the server report .zip file when you contact support.

Logs

• View the system log: Click to show information about system events such as device startup, warnings and critical messages.

• View the access log: Click to show all failed attempts to access the device, for example when a wrong login password is used.

Plain config is for advanced users with experience of Axis device configuration. Most parameters can be set and edited from this page.

Restart: Restart the device. This does not affect any of the current settings. Running applications restart automatically.

Restore: Return most settings to the factory default values. Afterwards you must reconfigure the device and recreate any events and PTZ presets.

Factory default: Return all settings to the factory default values. Afterwards you must reset the IP address to make the device accessible.

Firmware upgrade: Upgrade to a new firmware version. New firmware releases can contain improved functionality, bug fixes, and completely new features. We recommend you to always use the latest release. To download the latest release, go to axis.com/support.

• When you upgrade, you can choose between three options:

• Standard upgrade: Upgrade to the new firmware version.

• Factory default: Upgrade and return all settings to the factory default values. When you choose this option, you can’t revert to the previous firmware version after the upgrade.

• Autorollback: Upgrade and confirm the upgrade within the set time. If you don’t confirm, the device reverts to the previous firmware version.

Firmware rollback: Revert to the previously installed firmware version.

Download configuration file: Select which settings you want to include in the configuration file. The file won't include certificates or private keys.

Upload configuration file: The uploaded configuration file overwrites the existing configuration within the same area. For example: if your file only contains information about video, the system settings won't be affected. The configuration file doesn’t include certificates or private keys. If you want other certificates than the default self-signed ones, you need to set them manually.
