An authentication server must authenticate a client connected to an 802.1X switch

port. Until the authentication, only EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol over

LAN) traffic is allowed through the port to which a client is connected. Once

authentication is successful, normal traffic passes through the port.

FTOS supports RADIUS and Active Directory environments using 802.1X Port

Authentication.
