802.1x Settings
Network switches can provide open and easy access to network resources by simply
attaching a client PC. Although this automatic configuration and access is a desirable
feature, it also allows unauthorized personnel to easily intrude and possibly gain access to
sensitive network data. With IEEE 802.1X (802.1X), access
to all switch ports in a network can be centrally controlled from a server, which means that
authorized users can use the same credentials for authentication from any point within the
network.
