Port-based authentication is a "network access control" concept in
which a particular device is evaluated before being permitted to
communicate with other devices located on the network. 802.1X
Port-Based Authentication examines how this concept can be applied
and the effects of its application to the majority of computer
networks in existence today. 802.1X is a standard that extends the
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) over a Local Area Network
(LAN) through a process called Extensible Authentication Protocol
Over LANs (EAPOL). The text presents an introductory overview of
port-based authentication including a description of 802.1X
port-based authentication, a history of the standard and the
technical documents published, and details of the connections among
the three network components. It focuses on the technical aspect of
802.1X and the related protocols and components involved in
implementing it in a network. The book provides an in-depth
discussion of technology, design, and implementation with a
specific focus on Cisco devices. Including examples derived from
the 802.1X implementation, it also addresses troubleshooting issues
in a Cisco environment. Each chapter contains a subject overview.
Incorporating theoretical and practical approaches, 802.1X
Port-Based Authentication seeks to define this complex concept in
accessible terms. It explores various applications to today's
computer networks using this particular network protocol.
