3. Controlled direction
In unauthenticated status, controlled ports can be set as unidirectional controlled or bi-
directionally controlled.
When the port is bi-directionally controlled, the sending and receiving of all frames is
forbidden.
When the port is unidirectional controlled, no frames can be received from the supplicant
systems while sending frames to the supplicant systems is allowed.
Notes: At present, this kind of switch only supports unidirectional control.
38.1.2 The Work Mechanism of 802.1x
IEEE 802.1x authentication system uses EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) to
implement exchange of authentication information between the supplicant system,
authenticator system and authentication server system.
The Work Mechanism of 802.1x
EAP messages adopt EAPOL encapsulation format between the PAE of the supplicant system
and the PAE of the authenticator system in the environment of LAN.
Between the PAE of the authenticator system and the RADIUS server, there are two methods
to exchange information: one method is that EAP messages adopt EAPOR (EAP over
RADIUS) encapsulation format in RADIUS protocol; the other is that EAP messages terminate
with the PAE of the authenticator system, and adopt the messages containing RAP (Password
Authentication Protocol) or CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) attributes to
do the authentication interaction with the RADIUS server.
When the user pass the authentication, the authentication server system will send the relative
information of the user to authenticator system, the PAE of the authenticator system will decide
the authenticated/unauthenticated status of the controlled port according to the authentication
result of the RADIUS server.
38.1.3 The Encapsulation of EAPOL Messages
1. The Format of EAPOL Data Packets
EAPOL is a kind of message encapsulation format defined in 802.1x protocol, and is mainly
used to transmit EAP messages between the supplicant system and the authenticator system
in order to allow the transmission of EAP messages through the LAN. In IEEE 802/Ethernet
