IEEE 802.1x Introduction
The IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication is desired to prevent the
unauthorized devices (clients) from gaining access to the network. As the LANs
extend to hotels, airports and corporate lobbies, the insecure environments could be
created. The 802.1x port-based network access control makes use of the physical
access characteristics of IEEE 802 LAN infrastructures, such as the 802.3 Ethernet,
802.11 Wireless LAN and ADSL LRE (Long Reach Ethernet), in order to provide a
means of authenticating and authorizing devices attached to a LAN port that has
point-to-point connection characteristics, and of preventing access to that port in
case of the failure of authentication process.
