802.1X Configuration
IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control; it is
part of the IEEE 802 (802.1) group of protocols. It provides authentication to
devices attached to a LAN port, establishing a point-to-point connection or
preventing access from that port if authentication fails. IEEE 802.1X is available
on certain network switches, and can be configured to authenticate hosts which
are equipped with supplicant software, denying unauthorized access to the
network at the data link layer.
