Implementing 802.1x Authentication for wired and Wireless connections
Introduction 802.1X is a network access control (NAC) standard that provides an authentication framework for controlling access to network resources. It is a part of the IEEE 802.1 group of protocols, which defines how devices in a Local Area Network (LAN) communicate with each other. The main purpose of 802.1X is to ensure that only authorized devices or users are allowed to connect to a network, thereby enhancing network security. It operates at the link layer of the OSI model and is primarily used for wired and wireless Ethernet networks....
