Look for documentation on 802.11x authentication for the specific client 
you want to authenticate.

WiFi is pretty straightforward.  You're probably accustomed to 
authenticating with WPA2 Personal.  With RADIUS, you'll use WPA2 
Enterprise.  Users will be asked for their RADIUS credentials when you 
select that  option.

Ethernet is fairly similar to WPA2 Enterprise for WiFi.  Under GNOME, 
for instance, you can open the Network configuration tool, click on the 
configuration gear for the wired connection, and then select the 
Security tab.  Tun on 802.1x Security, and then you'll have the option 
to select an authentication type that matches your switch and RADIUS 
configuration.  This will vary from client platform to client platform, 
but it's basically the same as WiFi authentication:
