    DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch 802.1x 802.1x Port-Based and MAC-Based Access Control The IEEE 802.1x standard is a security measure for authorizing and authenticating users to gain access to various wired or wireless devices on a specified Local Area Network by using a Client and Server based access control model. This is accomplished by using a RADIUS server to authenticate users trying to access a network by relaying Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPOL) packets between the Client and the Server.
  • Page 288 DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch Figure 11- 6. The Authentication Server Authenticator The Authenticator (the Switch) is an intermediary between the Authentication Server and the Client. The Authenticator serves two purposes when utilizing 802.1x. The first purpose is to request certification information from the Client through EAPOL packets, which is the only information allowed to pass through the Authenticator before access is granted to the Client.
