Port-Based Network Access Control
Amendment 2: YANG Data Model

March 24, 2020

This amendment specified a YANG data model that allows configuration and status reporting for port-based network access control in the scenarios described in Clause 7 of IEEE Std 802.1X and Clause 11 of IEEE Std 802.1AE, using the information model specified in clause 12.9 of IEEE Std 802.1X. This amendment also resolved maintenance items submitted… read more »

802.1AR-2009: Secure Device Identity

February 4, 2019

Full title: IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks–Secure Device Identity Local Area Networks (LANs) are often deployed in networks that provide publicly accessible services or cannot be completely physically secured. Protocols that configure, manage, and regulate access to these networks typically run over the networks themselves. Secure and predictable network operation depends on… read more »
