802.1x Port-based Authentication is implemented with three parties:
Supplicant: a host device connected to a switch.
Authenticator: a switch that allows a supplicant to communicate
through the port.
Authentication Server: a server that authenticates supplicants via
an authenticator.
When MAC-based Authentication is used on a port, Extensible
Authentication Protorol (EAP) is not effective on the port.
