IETF RFC support

Dell PowerConnect devices support the IEEE 802.1X standard for authenticating devices attached
to LAN ports. Using 802.1X port security, you can configure a PowerConnect device to grant
access to a port based on information supplied by a client to an authentication server.
When a user logs on to a network that uses 802.1X port security, the PowerConnect device grants
(or does not grant) access to network services after the user is authenticated by an authentication
server. The user-based authentication in 802.1X port security provides an alternative to granting
network access based on a user IP address, MAC address, or subnetwork.
The 802.1X port security supports the following RFCs:
