19   Troubleshooting 802.1X
The 802.1X standard defines port-based network access controls, and provides the structure for authenti-
cating physical devices attached to a LAN. It uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).
Note. See the “Configuring 802.1X” chapter in the appropriate OmniSwitch Network Configuration Guide 
for a detailed explanation about different 802.1X components. 
Understanding and troubleshooting of Radius Server in conjunction with switch level troubleshooting is 
very helpful.
