He's referring to 802.1x, which is a form of port-based network
access/admission control (NAC). It uses EAP (Extensible Authentication
Protocol - actually EAPOL [EAP over LAN]) to require authentication
before the supplicant is given access to the LAN.
That's the theory - but I've no idea how it works in practice with CentOS.
