    Abstract: An authentication method, network switch, and network device are provided. In one example, a method is described that includes receiving a first signal indicative of a data lane being activated and configured to carry data to or within the network switch, receiving a second signal indicative of an authentication lane being established in the network switch or a device connected to the network switch, where the authentication lane is different from the data lane, and enabling data transmission across the data lane only in response to receiving the second signal indicative of the authentication lane being established.
