	Title		: 802.1X Credentials Sub-option for the DHCP Relay Agent
                          Information Option

The IEEE 802.1X protocol provides authenticated layer 2 network
access.  As part of the authentication for 802.1X, a device such as a
switch or a wireless LAN access point can receive credentials from
the authentication authority identifying the user of a device
requesting access.  These credentials can then be used by a DHCP
server in the selection of an IP address for assignment to the device
through its DHCP client.  The 802.1X Credentials sub-option allows an
access device that implements 802.1X and that can create DHCP Relay
Agent options to pass along credentials for the user of a device
received during 802.1X authentication to a DHCP server.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
