Detailed explanation-1: -802.1X protocol-An IEEE standard for port-based network access control (PNAC) on wired and wireless access points. 802.1X defines authentication controls for any user or device trying to access a LAN or WLAN. NAC-A proven networking concept that identifies users and devices by controlling access to the network.

Detailed explanation-2: -802.1X port-based access control provides port-level security that allows LAN access only on ports where a single 802.1X-capable client (supplicant) has entered authorized RADIUS user credentials.

Detailed explanation-3: -802.1X provides an authentication framework that allows a user to be authenticated by a central authority. authentication server is typically an EAP. An authentication protocol for wireless networks that extends the methods used by the PPP, a protocol often used when connecting a computer to the Internet.

Detailed explanation-4: -Secure access to virtually any network port (wired or wireless) with 802.1x. The 802.1x protocol is actually not a wireless protocol at all. It describes a method for port authentication that can be applied to nearly any network connection, whether wired or wireless.
