- <para>
- <guilabel>Connection name</guilabel> — You can customize the name under which this connection is listed in the <guilabel>Wired</guilabel> tab of the <guilabel>Network Connections</guilabel> window by entering a descriptive name in the text-entry box. For example, you could create a wired connection with custom settings for the office called <replaceable>Wired Office</replaceable>.</para>

- <para>The final two configurable settings are located within the <guilabel>Wired</guilabel> tab itself: the first is a text-entry field where you can specify a MAC (Media Access Control) address, and the second allows you to specify the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value. Normally, you can leave the <guilabel>MAC address</guilabel> field blank and the <guilabel>MTU</guilabel> set to <userinput>automatic</userinput>. These defaults will suffice unless you are associating a wired connection with a second or specific NIC, or performing advanced networking. In such cases, refer to the following descriptions:</para>

For example, in the following <command>ip addr</command> output, the MAC address for the eth0 interface (which is <computeroutput> 52:54:00:26:9e:f1</computeroutput>) immediately follows the <computeroutput>link/ether</computeroutput> keyword:</para>

- <para>A single system can have one or more NICs installed on it. The <guilabel>MAC address</guilabel> field therefore allows you to associate a specific NIC with a specific connection (or connections). As mentioned, you can determine the MAC address using the <command>ip addr</command> command, and then copy and paste that value into the <guilabel>MAC address</guilabel> text-entry field.</para>

To see if there are multiple choices, click the <guilabel>Wireless security</guilabel> dropdown menu and select the type of security the access point is using. If you are unsure, try connecting to each type in turn. Finally, enter the key or passphrase in the <guilabel>Password</guilabel> field. Certain password types, such as a 40-bit WEP or 128-bit WPA key, are invalid unless they are of a requisite length. The <guilabel>Connect</guilabel> button will remain inactive until you enter a key of the length required for the selected security type. To learn more about wireless security, refer to <xref

- <title>Configuring 802.1x Security</title>
- <para>802.1x security is the name of the IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). Simply put, 802.1x security is a way of defining a <firstterm>logical network</firstterm> out of a physical one. All clients who want to join the logical network must authenticate with the server (a router, for example) using the correct 802.1x authentication method.</para>
- <para>802.1x security is most often associated with securing wireless networks (WLANs), but can also be used to prevent intruders with physical access to the network (LAN) from gaining entry. In the past, DHCP servers were configured not to lease IP addresses to unauthorized users, but but for various reasons this practice is both impractical and insecure, and thus is no longer recommended. Instead, 802.1x security is used to ensure a logically-secure network through port-based authentication.</para>
- <para>802.1x provides a framework for WLAN and LAN access control and serves as an envelope for carrying one of the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types. An EAP type is a protocol that defines how WLAN security is achieved on the network.</para>
- <para>You can configure 802.1x security for a wired or wireless connection type by opening the <guilabel>Network Connections</guilabel> window (refer to <xref

- <title>Configuring TLS (Transport Level Security) Settings</title>
- <para>With Transport Level Security, the client and server mutually authenticate using the TLS protocol. The server demonstrates that it holds a digital certificate, the client proves its own identity using its client-side certificate, and key information is exchanged. Once authentication is complete, the TLS tunnel is no longer used. Instead, the client and server use the exchanged keys to encrypt data using AES, TKIP or WEP.</para>
- <para>The fact that certificates must be distributed to all clients who want to authenticate means that the EAP-TLS authentication method is very strong, but also more complicated to set up. Using TLS security requires the overhead of a public key infrastructure (PKI) to manage certificates. The benefit to TLS security is that a compromised password does not allow access to the (W)LAN: an intruder must also have access to the authenticating client's private key.</para>
