4.2.8 802.1X
802.1x port-based network access control provides a method to restrict users to access
network resources via authenticating user’s information. This restricts users from gaining
access to the network resources through a 802.1x-enabled port without authentication. If a
user wishes to touch the network through a port under 802.1x control, he (she) must firstly
input his (her) account name for authentication and waits for gaining authorization before
sending or receiving any packets from a 802.1x-enabled port.
