802.1X authentication is more secure than MAC address authentication and Portal authentication; however, it requires that 802.1X client software be installed on all user terminals, allowing low networking flexibility. In contrast, MAC address authentication does not need client software, but user terminals' MAC addresses must be registered on the authentication server. Network configuration and management are complex. Portal authentication also does not need client software, allowing flexible deployment. However, it does not provide high security. Therefore, 802.1X authentication is applicable to network construction scenarios where users are densely distributed and high information security is required.
