Introduction In today’s enterprise networks, passwords are the weakest link. They get reused, stolen, phished, and brute-forced — and once they’re compromised, your wireless network is wide open. Even with strong 802.1X + EAP-PEAP deployments, a single credential leak can let an attacker in from […]

Introduction In Cisco ISE deployments, lab validation is not just a “nice to have” — it’s the only way to confirm that your authentication policies work exactly as intended before you deploy them in production.End-to-end wired authentication lab validation means verifying every step of the […]
Introduction In enterprise NAC deployments, 802.1X authentication on wired ports is not just for Windows machines — it’s equally critical for macOS and Linux endpoints. Whether it’s a corporate MacBook on the marketing team’s desk or a Linux workstation in an R&D lab, Cisco ISE […]
![[Day 38] – Cisco ISE Mastery Training: Wired Supplicant Configuration for Windows](https://networkjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Day-38-–-Cisco-ISE-Mastery-Training-Wired-Supplicant-Configuration-for-Windows.png)
Introduction In enterprise networks, 802.1X authentication is the backbone of Network Access Control (NAC). For a wired connection, the device’s built-in supplicant — a client software that handles authentication — is the bridge between the endpoint and Cisco ISE.Windows systems come with a native 802.1X […]
Introduction In today’s hybrid workspace, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is no longer optional — employees, contractors, and guests all bring their own laptops to connect to corporate resources. Over wired connections, onboarding BYOD devices is trickier than wireless because physical switch ports require 802.1X/MAB […]

Introduction When it comes to 802.1X-based wired authentication, the supplicant on the endpoint plays a critical role. For most corporate environments, Windows Native Supplicant is sufficient — but it lacks advanced control, flexibility, and multi-profile management. Enter Cisco AnyConnect Network Access Manager (NAM) — a […]
![[Day 16] Cisco ISE Mastery Training: Understanding 802.1X Authentication Flow](https://networkjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Day-16-–-Cisco-ISE-Mastery-Training-Understanding-802.1X-Authentication-Flow.png)
Introduction 802.1X is the foundation of secure wired and wireless network access control in enterprise networks.With Cisco ISE, 802.1X authentication ensures that only authorized devices and users can connect to the corporate network — reducing the risk of data breaches and preventing rogue devices from […]
