ABSTRACT
This chapter of the book will consist of six sections. It will focus on the
technical aspect of 802.1X and the related protocols and components
involved in implementing it in a network. The preceding chapter provided
a level set of what it is, how it came about, what the standards are, and how
it works. The relationships between 802.1X, EAP, EAPOL, EAP-Methods, and
RADIUS have been defined. This chapter will establish a firm background in
the technical aspects of those components.
