802.1x
implementation
technical guide
Operating System Support Currently client devices pose the largest potential problem when deploying 802.1X. Whilst modern operating systems such as Microsoft® Windows Vista/XP®, Mac OS X® 10.4/10.5 and Linux® natively support 802.1X, older OS such as Microsoft® Windows 98/ME® do not. Additionally there are many other devices on the network which do not support 802.1X such as printers, network music player, desktop hubs/switches, and the current iPhone (Firmware 1.1.4.). Workarounds must be found if these devices are to continue functioning on the network.

IPSec
implementation
This chapter shows how the facilities provided by IPSec can be used in practice to create secure VPNs. The examples use Cisco® routers and Windows® 2000/XP workstations. These devices have been chosen because they are widely used and most readers will have access to hardware similar to that discussed in the examples. Two common requirements are discussed: providing a secure VPN tunnel between two private networks, for example a remote site or office and a main campus, and providing a secure remote access service for staff working at home.
