Re: RADIUS-MAC vs RADIUS-802.1x

[FV <mailing () beufa net>]

First you have to be sure 802.1x is supported by your infrastructure (L2
network equipments and OS)

802.1x seems to be more convenient, as certificate and supplicant
authentication is much hard to break.

MAC based authentication is too weak, as anyone can change the MAC
address on a computer by the right one.
