AAA and 802.1X

Juniper Networks Odyssey

  • Complete family of secure 802.1X access clients for the enterprise and government agencies
  • Provides strong wireless security, to fully protect network data and credentials
  • Easily deployed and managed enterprise-wide, for the lowest total cost of ownership

Juniper Networks' Odyssey Access Client is enterprise-class 802.1X access client software with full support for the advanced WLAN security protocols that you require for wireless access to your LAN. Together with an 802.1X-compatible RADIUS server such as Juniper Networks' Odyssey Access Server or Steel-Belted Radius®, OAC secures the authentication and connection of WLAN users, ensuring that only authorized users can connect, that login credentials will not be compromised, and that data privacy will be maintained over the wireless link. (A specialized version of OAC includes a cryptographic module that has been FIPS 140-2 Level 1 Validated, to meet security requirements of government agencies.) OAC is also an ideal client for enterprises that are deploying identity-based (wired 802.1X) networking. OAC fully supports wired 802.1X connections, and saves time and effort by permitting one-time deployment of wireless and wired 802.1X access. The use of a single interface for both functions also simplifies user experience and reduces costs associated with user training.
