IEEE 802.1X authentication
by cisspfix on Feb.21, 2010, under Uncategorized
The IEEE 802.1X standard defines a method of authenticating and authorizing users to connect to an IEEE 802 LAN. It blocks users from accessing the network on the failure of authentication. IEEE 802.1X supports the Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Level Security (EAP-TLS) and Protected EAP-Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2 (PEAP-MS-CHAP v2) protocols. In the IEEE802.1X authentication system, an access point receives a connection request from a wireless client and forwards the request to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server then uses the Active Directory database to determine whether the client should be granted access to the network.

Wireless networks today are the real needs of the business and technology world as it provides the interconnection between computers without any wires. The bottleneck of location and wires ,costs are all eliminated by the wireless technology. The wireless network setup concept is very much similar to that of a wired network where instead of the wires only wirelessly connections are made through wave spectrum.
It is a fairly simple setup. The Internet connection comes in from your provider and is connected to a wireless access point or router which broadcasts the signal. You connect wireless antenna network cards to your computers to receive that signal and talk back to the wireless access point and you are in business.
