Function:
Enables the EAP relay authentication function in the switch; the “no dot1x eapor enable” command sets EAP local
end authentication.
Command mode:
Global Mode.
Default:
EAP relay authentication is used by default.
Usage Guide:
The switch and RADIUS may be connected via Ethernet or PPP. If an Ethernet connection exists between the switch
and RADIUS server, the switch needs to authenticate the user by EAP relay (EAPoR authentication); if the switch
connects to the RADIUS server by PPP, the switch will use EAP local end authentication (CHAP authentication). The
switch should use different authentication methods according to the connection between the switch and the
authentication server.
Example:
Setting EAP local end authentication for the switch.
