SSID EAP Override Configuration

Dashboard Location: Wireless > Configure > SSIDs > Access Control

Wireless EAP Authentication Parameter Management

SSID EAP Override configuration in Meraki wireless networks provides administrators with comprehensive 802.1X authentication parameter control, enabling custom timeout values, retry limits, identity request handling, and EAPOL key exchange optimization. This functionality supports enterprise authentication requirements, network performance tuning, client connectivity optimization, and authentication reliability enhancement in challenging wireless environments. EAP Override is essential for optimizing 802.1X authentication performance, managing authentication timeouts, handling problematic client devices, and ensuring reliable enterprise wireless authentication across diverse client populations and network conditions.
