12.4 802.1X/RADIUS
The 802.1X/RADIUS protocol was developed by the IEEE 802 LAN/WAN committee
to deal with wireless LAN security issues. It was also used in Hardwired connections as
a common access control mechanism for LAN Ports to solve lack of Authentication on
Hardwired connections.
802.1X/RADIUS is a Port-Based Network Access Control protocol. It authenticates and
controls devices requesting access by controlling the devices access to the LAN Port to
which it is connected. With the 802.1X/RADIUS protocol enabled, a Supplicant can
access the LAN only when it passes Authentication. Those failing to pass
Authentication are denied access.
