Benefits of 802.1X Authentication

Following are the benefits of 802.1X authentication:

  • Supports dynamic authentication policy using 802.1X, RADIUS, and RADIUS proxy.
  • Supports RADIUS Change of Authorization (CoA) and RADIUS Disconnect, which allows devices to change the VLAN/ACL for the endpoint based on roles.
  • Supports hybrid NAC deployment (802.1X for wireless network and SNMP for wired network).
  • Supports backend third-party RADIUS servers through RADIUS proxy.
  • Supports native client, Ivanti Secure Access Client, and third party supplicants.
