It offers an authenticationmechanism for devices to connect/link to a LAN or WLAN. The 802.1X authenticationinvolves three parties: a supplicant, an authenticator and an authentication server. Thesupplicant is the IP phone that wishes to attach to the LAN or WLAN. With 802.1Xport-based authentication, the IP phone provides credentials, such as user name andpassword, for the authenticator, and then the authenticator forwards the credentials tothe authentication server for verification. If the authentication server determines the
