  It's utilized with certain high-security environments. Data centers
hosting clouds with "secure" as selling points.  It's roughly
the same level of paranoia like using SecureBoot on servers,
some customers are paying extra for that.

I've never used a server that required 802.1x. I've only encountered
it in places where physical network access is widespread among people
who aren't trusted, like offices and universities.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your answer. It seems like bunch of other protocol supports are 
being asked too. Maybe we could have a page on what protocols are supported, 
will be supported and in which priority they will be implemented.

I would think port access protocols would be needed for servers even before 
sending a single IP package.

Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge no one is working on it now, nor planning
on working on it any time soon. However, it would be within the scope
of networkd, so if anyone is interested in working on it they should
get in touch.

Cheers,

Tom

Hi,

Are there any plans to support 802.1x by systemd-networkd?

Thanks
