Explanation

WPA/WPA2 Enterprise mode uses 802.1x (IEEE port-based Network Access Control) as its authentication framework. 802.1x enables the wireless AP to act as an authenticator that forwards credentials to a RADIUS server, which then validates them against Active Directory - allowing domain usernames and passwords to be used for wireless authentication. These two components work together: WPA Enterprise specifies the encryption/authentication mode, and 802.1x is the underlying protocol that enables per-user authentication. WPA2 Personal uses a shared pre-shared key (PSK), not individual credentials. MAC filtering is device-based, not credential-based. 802.1q is the VLAN trunking standard, unrelated to wireless authentication.
