## Discussion

Discussion Specify com.apple.thirdethernet.managed as the payload type. This payload’s contents contain these profile-specific keys: Interface (String): This payload uses the value ThirdEthernet. EAPClientConfiguration (WiFi.EAPClientConfiguration): The dictionary that defines the enterprise profile for the network.
