4.8.4 802.1X
802.1X Overview
IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE Standard for port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). It is part of the IEEE 802.1
group of networking protocols. It provides an authentication mechanism to devices wishing to attach to a LAN or
WLAN.IEEE 802.1X defines the encapsulation of EAP over LAN" or EAPOL. 802.1X authentication involves
three parties: a supplicant, an authenticator, and an authentication server. The supplicant is a client device (such as
a laptop) that wishes to attach to the LAN/WLAN - though the term 'supplicant' is also used interchangeably to
refer to the software running on the client that provides credentials to the authenticator. The authenticator is a
network device, such as an Ethernet switch or wireless access point; and the authentication server is typically a host
running software supporting the RADIUS and EAP protocols. The authenticator acts like a security guard to a
protected network. The supplicant (i.e., client device) is not allowed access through the authenticator to the
protected side of the network until the supplicant’s identity has been validated and authorized. With 802.1X
port-based authentication, the supplicant provides credentials, such as user name / password or digital certificate, to
the authenticator, and the authenticator forwards the credentials to the authentication server for verification. If the
authentication server determines the credentials are valid, the supplicant (client device) is allowed to access
resources located on the protected side of the network.
