The Client is simply the endstation that wishes to gain access to the LAN or switch services. All endstations must be running
software that is compliant with the 802.1x protocol. For users running Windows XP, that software is included within the
operating system. All other users are required to attain 802.1x client software from an outside source. The Client will request
access to the LAN and or Switch through EAPOL packets and, in turn will respond to requests from the Switch.
