8021Xstandardia

8021Xstandardia is a hypothetical standard that does not currently exist within the IEEE 802.1X family of protocols. The IEEE 802.1X standard, in its various forms, is designed for port-based network access control. It prevents unauthorized devices from connecting to a local area network (LAN) by authenticating users or devices before granting them access. Typically, this involves a Supplicant (the device seeking access), an Authenticator (a network device like a switch or wireless access point), and an Authentication Server (often a RADIUS server). The process usually involves the Supplicant presenting credentials to the Authenticator, which then forwards these credentials to the Authentication Server for verification. Upon successful authentication, the Authenticator allows the Supplicant access to the network. While there are numerous amendments and extensions to the 802.1X standard to support different authentication methods and network types, a specific designation such as "8021Xstandardia" has not been ratified by the IEEE. Therefore, any reference to 8021Xstandardia would be purely speculative or a misunderstanding of existing IEEE 802.1X specifications.
