Port Security vs Port Based Authentication (802.1x) Whats the Difference?

In this video Travis compares the layer 2 security techniques of port security and port based authentication. He discusses the different ways to implement MAC address filtering as well as the benefits and draw backs. He compares port security to authenticating users on a port by port basis. The most common way to filter and authenticate users in this way is 802.1x. He finishes by discussing the technologies that allow 802.1x: PAP, CHAP, EAP and RADIUS.

Just discovered your channel. Awesome content and great explanations! Keep up the good work!

[@FSOL121]

You've earnt a subscription! - LOVE the way you explain concepts and make it easy for the viewer to understand using diagrams.

[@intelligencequest]

Thank you so much for the positive feed back! We've got some switching and routing videos coming out VERY soon!

[@cowid]

Great content ! Note tho: EAP is not a protocol, but a framework. EAP allows the use of multiple authentication protocol such as the ones you mentioned.

[@intelligencequest]

Thanks for the note! This is a great point and will certainly be corrected in subsequent deep dives into authenticatiom mechamisms

[@jiho1960]

I actually enjoyed listening. I don't know what you did less or more of - thank you.

[@azmirnordin5172]

Clearly explain, Tq Travis👍

[@DavidJMcBrayer]

One correction, Jan wouldn’t BE the supplicant. Jan’s device has a supplicant on it. It’s software not the individual themselves.

[@GenX-Memories]

Thanks man, just what I needed.

[@intelligencequest]

Awesome! Let's gooo!

[@emmanuelobileye5643]

Thank you! The sub is much appreciated!

[@mdrabbi9655]

thanks you so much.

[@BradBazooka]

Great video

[@intelligencequest]

Thanks!

[@mohamedkanu66]

Thorough explanation! Can the ACtive Directory be configured with AAA (RADIUS) for the authentication process in an enterprise?

[@kamranrockstar]

Simply Awesome

[@intelligencequest]

Thank you very much! We really appreciate the support!

[@winstonsmith1945]

Thanks for the great content but the background track spoils an otherwise excellent technical video! Please ditch the music.

[@intelligencequest]

All new videos have no music! Thanks for the feedback

[@ozziecoley2446]

Music was even better.

[@baller15g]

Nice video, the club music in the back is perfect.

[@narinderpal61]

Nice - Have made a practical video on 802.1x ?

[@intelligencequest]

Have not but I will put it on the list!

[@aakinpatel]

QUESTION: Is Automatic Port Authentication part of a cybersecurity/security or Networking side?

[@p8nflnt]

Good content, but the music volume is far too loud.

[@silviuandreiiacoban3962]

Good video but you should omit the music

[@miroofi75]

the background music is too loud

[@JEETENDERRSVP]

what is with the background music.

[@philjans1]

Excellent vidéo but background music is a terrible thing to add in s leaning video. It is bad for concentration. And unless video is extremely boring: serves no purpose

[@billbobaggins8207]

Now show me how to configure it, 802.1x has almost zero configuration help online.

[@rajarams3722]

Please remove that background music..terrible to focus

[@JoeVSvolcano]

LOL music layer makes it A JOKE to take this seriously...

[@FusRoToast]

Yeah, it's pretty distracting.

[@fkdhjfghdsjkghjkfhgkfjd]

You're both a joke for thinking one issue is enough to ignore the speaker completely. Y'all need to chill.
