Configuring 802.1x

IEEE 802.1x Introduction
IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication is desired to prevent unauthorized devices (clients) from gaining access
to the network. As LANs extend to hotels, airports, and corporate lobbies, insecure environments could be
created. 802.1x port-based network access control makes use of the physical access characteristics of
IEEE 802 LAN infrastructures, such as 802.3 Ethernet, 802.11 Wireless LAN and VDSL 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 cases the
authentication process fails.
