Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex 7055 User Manual page 140

In 802.1X authentication, the supplicant sends access request messages along with
credentials, such as user name / password or digital certificate, to an authenticator,
which forwards the credentials to the authentication server for verification. The
supplicant (client device) remains in an unauthorized state until verification has been
received. In unauthorized state, only 802.1X traffic is allowed; all other traffic, such
as DHCP and HTTP traffic, is dropped. For its wireless interfaces, the AP can serve
as the authenticator communicating between the supplicant and the authentication
server.
