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.
