Re: IPsec and 802.1x

Tina,

We are using it internally for VPN from home for teleworkers.

802.1x (on plain wired Ethernet) is used in order to authenticate the employee who may then go inside the VPN to reach the corporate network. On the other, the spouse and the kids of the employee fail the 802.1x authentication and are then prevented to going 'inside' the VPN

Regards

-eric
