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.
