About 802.1X Port-Based Authentication
802.1X defines 802.1X port-based authentication as a client-server based access control and authentication protocol that
restricts unauthorized clients from connecting to a LAN through publicly accessible ports. An authentication server validates
each supplicant (client) connected to an authenticator (network access switch) port before making available any services
offered by the switch or the LAN.
Note
802.1X support requires an authentication server that is configured for Remote Authentication Dial-In
User Service (RADIUS). 802.1X authentication does not work unless the network access switch can
route packets to the configured RADIUS server. To verify that the switch can route packets, you must
ping the server from the switch.
Until a client is authenticated, only Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPOL) traffic is allowed using the port to
which the client is connected. After authentication succeeds, normal traffic can pass using the port.
To configure 802.1X port-based authentication, you need to understand the concepts in these sections:
