Yes, that is correct. 802.11X

I have in hand an RFP calling for 802.11X compliance, and I asked specifically if there was some confusion and the customer specifically stated that 802.11X is what he wanted.

My google search reveals what I already practice - that so far, 802.11X is what we all say when speaking generically of 802.11 technologies.

Anyone got something newer?

thanks

"802.11x" is a slang, generic term that refers to the 802.11 family of standards and amendments.

"802.1X" is a specific term for the IEEE 802.1X port-based access control standard that is used with EAP for wireless and wired authentication.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
