A comparison of EAP relay and EAP termination
Packet exchange method
Benefits
Limitations
EAP relay
•
Supports various EAP
authentication methods.
•
The configuration and processing is
simple on the network access
device
The RADIUS server must support the
EAP-Message and
Message-Authenticator attributes,
and the EAP authentication method
used by the client.
EAP termination
Works with any RADIUS server that
supports PAP or CHAP authentication.
•
Supports only MD5-Challenge
EAP authentication and the
"username + password" EAP
authentication initiated by an
H3C iNode 802.1X client.
•
The processing is complex on the
network access device.
EAP relay
shows the basic 802.1X authentication procedure in EAP relay mode, assuming that EAP-MD5
is used.
