especially in Wi-Fi wireless networks. 802.1X holds a network port
disconnected until authentication is completed. The switch uses

to verify access rights. The EAP packet from the RADIUS server also

the authentication method and request another, depending on the
configuration of the client software and the RADIUS server.
Depending on the authenticated results, the port is either made
