•
Code: Type of the EAP packet. Options include Request (1), Response (2), Success (3), or Failure (4).
•
Identifier: Used for matching Responses with Requests.
•
Length: Length (in bytes) of the EAP packet, which is the sum of the Code, Identifier, Length, and
Data fields.
•
Data: Content of the EAP packet. This field appears only in a Request or Response EAP packet. The
field comprises the request type (or the response type) and the type data. Type 1 (Identify) and type
4 (MD5-challenge) are two examples for the type field.
EAPOL packet format
shows the EAPOL packet format.
Figure 55 EAPOL packet format
•
PAE Ethernet type: Protocol type. It takes the value 0x888E for EAPOL.
•
Protocol version: The EAPOL protocol version used by the EAPOL packet sender.
•
Type: Type of the EAPOL packet.
lists the types of EAPOL packets that the H3C
implementation of 802.1X supports.
Table 5 Types of EAPOL packets
Value Type Description
0x00 EAP-Packet
The client and the network access device uses
EAP-Packets to transport authentication information.
0x01 EAPOL-Start
The client sends an EAPOL-Start message to initiate
802.1X authentication to the network access device.
0x02 EAPOL-Logoff
The client sends an EAPOL-Logoff message to tell the
network access device that it is logging off.
•
Length: Data length in bytes, or length of the Packet body. If packet type is EAPOL-Start or
EAPOL-Logoff, this field is set to 0, and no Packet body field follows.
•
Packet body: Content of the packet. When the EAPOL packet type is EAP-Packet, the Packet body
field contains an EAP packet.
