Which of the following specifies how networks use the 802.1x protocol to control network access?
  1. Per-user
  2. Per-port
  3. Per-MAC Address
  4. Per-SSID
Explanation
Answer - B - Networks use the 802.1x protocol to control network access on a per-port basis.

Key Takeaway: The 802.1x standard provides port-based access control. It stops a port until the edge device authenticates the client. Once authenticated, the port is forwarded so that clients can establish a connection with the edge device and pass packets across the network.
