3.3.3 802.1x Setting-Certification

The IEEE 802.1X specification describes a protocol that can be used for authenticating

both clients and servers on a network. The authentication algorithms and methods are those

provided by the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), a method of authentication that has

been in use for a number of years on networks that provide Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

support as many Internet service providers and enterprises do.

When an AP acting as an authenticator detects a wireless station on the LAN, it sends

an EAP-Request for the user’s identity to the device. (EAP, or the Extensible Authentication

Protocol, is an authentication protocol that runs before network layer protocols transmit data

over the link) In turn, the device responds with its identity, and the AP relays this identity to an

authentication server, which is typically an external RADIUS server.
