Chapter 23. Port based network access<br />

control<br />

<strong>IP</strong> networks are often deployed without a mechanism to restrict or control access<br />

to computing resources. Unrestricted access, compounded with today’s need to<br />

create well-connected networks, greatly increase the exposure of unauthorized<br />

access. This chapter provides an overview of port-based network access control<br />

(NAC) as deployed with 802.1x. 802.1x provides a framework for authentication<br />

<strong>and</strong> authorization of devices interconnected by local area networks.<br />
