Device Roles
With IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication, the devices in the network have specific roles as shown in
Figure 10-1.

•
Client—the device (workstation) that requests access to the LAN and switch services and responds
to requests from the switch. The workstation must be running IEEE 802.1x-compliant client
software such as that offered in the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. (The client is the
supplicant in the IEEE 802.1x standard.)
