802.1x Overview
The 802.1x protocol was proposed by IEEE 802 LAN/WAN committee for security
problems on wireless LANs (WLAN). Currently, it is widely used on Ethernet as a
common port access control mechanism.
As a port-based network access control protocol, 802.1x authenticates and
controls accessing devices at the level of port. A device connected to an
802.1x-enabled port of an access control device can access the resources on the
LAN only after passing authentication.
