IEEE 802.1X Authentication

More Information:

IEEE 802.1X Authentication

IEEE 802.1X authentication features. 802.1X authentication works by using an authenticator port access entity (the switch) to block ingress traffic from a supplicant (end device) at the port until the supplicant's credentials are presented and match on the authentication server (a RADIUS server). When authenticated, the switch stops blocking traffic and opens the port to the supplicant.
