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!

[@jiho1960]

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

[@azmirnordin5172]

Clearly explain, Tq Travis👍

[@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

[@GenX-Memories]

Thanks man, just what I needed.

[@intelligencequest]

Awesome! Let's gooo!

[@emmanuelobileye5643]

This was well explained. Just subscribed to your channel. Thank you

[@intelligencequest]

Thank you! The sub is much appreciated!

[@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

[@mdrabbi9655]

thanks you so much.

[@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!

[@CyberTronics]

Amazing but had to switch to another video due to background music. Better without music

[@BradBazooka]

Great video

[@intelligencequest]

Thanks!

[@aakinpatel]

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

[@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!

[@p8nflnt]

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

[@silviuandreiiacoban3962]

Good video but you should omit the 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

[@miroofi75]

the background music is too loud

[@JEETENDERRSVP]

what is with the background music.

[@billbobaggins8207]

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

[@JoeVSvolcano]

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

[@FusRoToast]

Yeah, it's pretty distracting.

[@Sommyie]

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

[@rajarams3722]

Please remove that background music..terrible to focus
