Network Infrastructure Devices
Finally, look at your existing network infrastructure:
■ What access methods do your network infrastructure devices support?
■ Which network infrastructure devices have 802.1X supplicants?
The network infrastructure devices can dictate the access control method; if
the switches do not support an access control method, you can either replace
them or choose a method that your switches do support. Table 3-15 lists the
access control methods that ProCurve switches support.
