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.
