Hi,
I'd like to verify that I correctly understand what the 3550 config guide is
saying regarding the above.
802.1x is used to authenticate the actual device (the client) as opposed to
the user. As such the device can be any type of ethernet attached device
including printers. Also, it seems like no user input is needed when using
802.1x authentication. Please let me know if all these statements are True or
False.
Also, the config guide doesn't mention what information is used to
authenticate the client. My guess is that it's probably the device's mac
address, but really I have no idea. For all I know, it could be a password
preconfigured on the device or maybe even some combo of different parameters.
If someone knows how this works, please help me out.
Thanks very much, dt
