IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). It is a networking protocol that provides an authentication mechanism to devices attempting to attach to a LAN or WLAN. IEEE 802.1X defines the encapsulation of the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) over IEEE 802, which is known as EAP over LAN or EAPoL.

802.1X involves three parties:
  • Supplicant—A device that connects to a network
  • Authenticator—A network device such as an Ethernet switch
  • Authentication server—A host running software that supports RADIUS and EAP

This module defines the parameters used for the PNAC.
