This TP-LINK switch can authenticate supplicant systems in EAP relay mode or EAP terminating mode. The following illustration of these two modes will take the 802.1X authentication procedure initiated by the supplicant system for example. （1） EAP Relay Mode This mode is defined in 802.1X. In this mode, EAP-packets are encapsulated in higher level protocol (such as EAPOR) packets to allow them successfully reach the authentication server. This mode normally requires the RADIUS server to support the two fields of EAP: the EAP-message field and the Message-authenticator field. This switch supports EAP-MD5 authentication way for the EAP relay mode. The following figure describes the basic EAP-MD5 authentication procedure. Figure 14-20 EAP-MD5 Authentication Procedure 1. A supplicant system launches an 802.1X client program via its registered user name and password to initiate an access request through the sending of an EAPOL-Start packet to the switch. The 802.1X client program then forwards the packet to the switch to start the authentication process. 2. Upon receiving the authentication request packet, the switch sends an EAP-Request/Identity packet to ask the 802.1X client program for the user name. 3. The 802.1X client program responds by sending an EAP-Response/Identity packet to the switch with the user name included. The switch then encapsulates the packet in a RADIUS Access-Request packet and forwards it to the RADIUS server. 4. Upon receiving the user name from the switch, the RADIUS server retrieves the user name, finds the corresponding password by matching the user name in its database, encrypts the password using a randomly-generated key, and sends the key to the switch through an RADIUS Access-Challenge packet. The switch then sends the key to the 802.1X client program. 5. Upon receiving the key (encapsulated in an EAP-Request/MD5 Challenge packet) from the switch, the client program encrypts the password of the supplicant system with the key and sends the encrypted password (contained in an EAP-Response/MD5 Challenge packet) to the RADIUS server through the switch. (The encryption is irreversible.) 296

This TP-LINK switch can authenticate supplicant systems in EAP relay mode or EAP terminating

mode. The following illustration of these two modes will take the 802.1X authentication procedure

initiated by the supplicant system for example.

（

）

EAP Relay Mode

This mode is defined in 802.1X. In this mode, EAP-packets are encapsulated in higher level

protocol (such as EAPOR) packets to allow them successfully reach the authentication server.

This mode normally requires the RADIUS server to support the two fields of EAP: the

EAP-message field and the Message-authenticator field. This switch supports EAP-MD5

authentication way for the EAP relay mode. The following figure describes the basic EAP-MD5

authentication procedure.

Figure 14-20 EAP-MD5 Authentication Procedure

A supplicant system launches an 802.1X client program via its registered user name and

password to initiate an access request through the sending of an EAPOL-Start packet to the

switch. The 802.1X client program then forwards the packet to the switch to start the

authentication process.

Upon receiving the authentication request packet, the switch sends an EAP-Request/Identity

packet to ask the 802.1X client program for the user name.

The 802.1X client program responds by sending an EAP-Response/Identity packet to the

switch with the user name included. The switch then encapsulates the packet in a RADIUS

Access-Request packet and forwards it to the RADIUS server.

Upon receiving the user name from the switch, the RADIUS server retrieves the user name,

finds the corresponding password by matching the user name in its database, encrypts the

password using a randomly-generated key, and sends the key to the switch through an

RADIUS Access-Challenge packet. The switch then sends the key to the 802.1X client

program.

Upon receiving the key (encapsulated in an EAP-Request/MD5 Challenge packet) from the

switch, the client program encrypts the password of the supplicant system with the key and

sends the encrypted password (contained in an EAP-Response/MD5 Challenge packet) to

the RADIUS server through the switch. (The encryption is irreversible.)
