4-6.18 802.1X/Radius Configuration
802.1X is an IEEE standard, which provides port-based authentication. It involves communications between
a supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server. The supplicant is often software on a client device,
such as a laptop, the authenticator is a wired Ethernet switch or wireless access point, and an authentication
server is generally a RADIUS database. The authenticator acts like a security guard to a protected network.
The supplicant (i.e., client device) is not allowed access through the authenticator to the protected side of the
network until the supplicant’s identity is authorized.
