67.802.1X Commands
IEEE802.1X provides user authentication when clients access the
network and blocks connections to the network from unregistered
clients. It prevents the access by unauthorized users or devices to
protect information assets security.
Figure 67-1 IEEE 802.1X overview
To use IEEE 802.1X authentication, there must be a client, authentication Switching
Hub, and authentication server as shown above.

The client requires IEEE 802.1X compatible software (An IEEE 802.1X supported
client is called Supplicant). The client sends an authentication request when
connecting to the network and is able to access when authorized.
 The authentication Switching Hub intermediates an authentication process
between the client and authentication server. It blocks connections to the
network from unauthorized clients (The authentication Switching Hub is also
called Authenticator). This Switching Hub allows you to enable/disable
authentication for each port and configure the authentication settings.
 A RADIUS server is usually used for the authentication server. It only approves an
authentication request from registered users. Up to three authentication servers
can be registered in the authentication Switching Hub.
