IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control. It provides
authentication to devices attached to a LAN port, establishing a point-to-point connection
or preventing access from that port if authentication fails. With 802.1X, access to all
switch ports can be centrally controlled from a server, which means that authorized users
can use the same credentials for authentication from any point within the
network.
