Host-Based Network Access Control
Figure 6 - 20 Example of Typical Host-Based Configuration
In order to successfully make use of 802.1X in a shared media LAN segment, it would be necessary to create “logical”
Ports, one for each attached device that requires access to the LAN. The Switch would regard the single physical Port
connecting to the shared media segment as consisting of a number of distinct logical Ports. As a result, each logical
Port can be seen as independently controlled from the point of view of EAPOL exchanges and authorization state. The
Switch learns each attached devices’ individual MAC addresses, and effectively creates a logical Port that the
attached device can then use this logic port to communicate with the LAN via the Switch.
