Web authentication overview

Authentication is important in enterprise networks because the network is considered a secure area: it

contains sensitive data and a finite amount of resources. Unauthorized users must be prevented from

accessing the network to protect the sensitive data and prevent the unnecessary consumption of

resources.

The ideal authentication method blocks unauthorized users at the earliest possible opportunity. For

internal enterprise networks, this can be controlled at the edge switch port. Two popular forms of port-

based security authentication used at the edge switch are multi-device port authentication and 802.1x.

Multi-device port authentication authenticates the MAC addresses of hosts or users that are attempting

to access the network. This type of authentication requires no intervention from the host or user who is

attempting to be authenticated. It is easy to use, but it can only authorize hosts; it cannot be used to

authorize users. 802.1x authentication can authorize users or hosts. It is more flexible than the multi-

device port authentication method; however, it requires more support, configuration, maintenance and

user intervention than multi-device port authentication.
