Client
The Client is simply the endstation that wishes to gain access to the LAN or switch services. All endstations must be
running software that is compliant with the 802.1x protocol. For users running Windows XP, that software is included
within the operating system. All other users are required to attain 802.1x client software from an outside source. The Client
will request access to the LAN and or Switch through EAPOL packets and, in turn will respond to requests from the
Switch.
