Best Practices: LAN Security and 802.1X

This whitepaper describes 802.1X and its role in pre-connect LAN security. Following a brief overview of the technology, learn some of the pros and cons of an 802.1X deployment.

The paper then describes a phased plan for LAN security that incorporates 802.1X as well as other user authentication alternatives that can be used in the meantime, should 802.1X not be near-term feasible.
