3.2.2.4 802.1x
802.1x is a port security that authenticates devices that want to establish a point-to-point access through a wired or wireless
port using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). This port-based authentication method prevents unauthorized access to a
Local Area Network (LAN) through a physical port. For example, when a device is connected to a network port, the network
switch will ask the device for authentication.
If the credential is accepted when the device sends a credential to the network switch, the network switch will open the port for
normal use.
If authentication fails, the device is prevented from accessing information on the port.
