Client
The Client is simply the end station that wishes to gain access to the LAN or switch services. All end
stations 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.
