Subject: 3550 port in public area

Hi group

My lab requirement is that a 3550 port f0/10 is in a public area and
only
MAC address 0000.0c98.1234 with an IP address of 192.168.1.50 can get
access.
This is a similar question as to my '3550 Restrict Access' question.

There is was decided - I think, that port secruity and a static ARP was
the
solution.

I have just read the config quide for the 3550 and have come across
'802.1X
Port-Based Authentication'.
It says "The 802.1X standard defines a client-server-based access
control
and authentication protocol that restricts unauthorized clients from
connecting to a LAN through publicly accessible ports.
The authentication server authenticates each client connected to a
switch
port before making available any services offered by the switch or the
LAN."
Does this requires an Authentication Server? Or can an ACL be used - if
so
what type IP and/or MAC?

Is this method password protected rather than address protected?

Many thanks
Jim
