dot1x authentication-method

Use dot1x authentication-method to specify an EAP message handling method.

Use undo dot1x authentication-method to restore the default.

Syntax

dot1x authentication-method { chap | eap | pap }

undo dot1x authentication-method

Default

The access device performs EAP termination and uses CHAP to communicate with the RADIUS server.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

chap: Sets the access device to perform Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) termination and use the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) to communicate with the RADIUS server.

eap: Sets the access device to relay EAP packets, and supports any of the EAP authentication methods to communicate with the RADIUS server.

pap: Sets the access device to perform EAP termination and use the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) to communicate with the RADIUS server.

Usage guidelines

The access device terminates or relays EAP packets.

· In EAP termination mode—The access device re-encapsulates and sends the authentication data from the client in standard RADIUS packets to the RADIUS server. The device performs either CHAP or PAP authentication with the RADIUS server. In this mode the RADIUS server supports only MD5-Challenge EAP authentication, and the username and password EAP authentication initiated by an iNode client.

¡ PAP transports usernames and passwords in plain text. The authentication method applies to scenarios that do not require high security. To use PAP, the client can be an iNode 802.1X client.

¡ CHAP transports usernames in plain text and passwords in encrypted form over the network. CHAP is more secure than PAP.

· In EAP relay mode—The access device relays EAP messages between the client and the RADIUS server. The EAP relay mode supports multiple EAP authentication methods, such as MD5-Challenge, EAP-TLS, and PEAP. To use this mode, make sure the RADIUS server meets the following requirements:

¡ Supports the EAP-Message and Message-Authenticator attributes.

¡ Uses the same EAP authentication method as the client.

If this mode is used, the user-name-format command configured in RADIUS scheme view does not take effect. For more information about the user-name-format command, see "RADIUS commands."

If RADIUS authentication is used, you must configure the access device to use the same authentication method (PAP, CHAP, or EAP) as the RADIUS server.

Examples

# Enable the access device to terminate EAP packets and perform PAP authentication with the RADIUS server.

Syntax

dot1x domain-delimiter string

undo dot1x domain-delimiter

Default

The device supports only the at sign (@) delimiter for 802.1X users.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

string: Specifies a set of 1 to 16 domain name delimiters for 802.1X users. No space is required between delimiters. Available delimiters include the at sign (@), backslash (\), dot (.), and forward slash (/). If you want to use backslash (\) as the domain name delimiter, you must enter the escape character (\) along with the backslash (\) sign.

Usage guidelines

Any character in the configured set can be used as the domain name delimiter for 802.1X authentication users. Usernames that include domain names can use the format of username@domain-name, domain-name\username, username.domain-name, or username/domain-name.

The delimiter set you configured overrides the default setting. If the at sign (@) is not included in the delimiter set, the device does not support the 802.1X users who use this sign as the domain name delimiter.

If a username string contains multiple configured delimiters, the device takes the rightmost delimiter in the username string as the domain name delimiter. For example, if you configure the forward slash (/), dot (.), and backslash (\) as delimiters, the domain name delimiter for the username string 121.123/22\@abc is the backslash (\). The username is @abc and the domain name is 121.123/22.

Examples

# Specify the at sign (@) and forward slash (/) as domain name delimiters.

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

The EAD assistant feature enables the access device to redirect a user seeking to access the network to download and install EAD client. This feature eliminates the tedious job of the administrator to deploy EAD clients.

The feature is mutually exclusive with MAC authentication and OUI authentication. For EAD assistant to take effect on a service template, you must first disable MAC authentication on the service template and delete all OUIs configured for OUI configuration.

To make the EAD assistant feature take effect on a service template, you must enable 802.1X on the service template.

Examples

# Enable the EAD assistant feature.

Parameters

retries: Sets the maximum number of attempts for sending an authentication request to a client. The value range is 1 to 10.

Usage guidelines

The access device retransmits an authentication request to a client in any of the following situations:

· The device does not receive any responses from the client within the username request timeout timer. The timer is set by using the dot1x timer tx-period tx-period-value command for the EAP-Request/Identity packet.

· The device does not receive any responses from the client within the client timeout timer. The timer is set by using the dot1x timer supp-timeout supp-timeout-value command for the EAP-Request/MD5-Challenge packet.

The access device stops retransmitting the request, if it has made the maximum number of request transmission attempts but still received no response.

Examples

# Set the maximum number of attempts to 9 for sending an authentication request to a client.

server-timeout server-timeout-value: Sets the server timeout timer in seconds. The value range for the server-timeout-value argument is 100 to 300.

supp-timeout supp-timeout-value: Sets the client timeout timer in seconds. The value range for the supp-timeout-value argument is 1 to 120.

tx-period tx-period-value: Sets the username request timeout timer in seconds. The value range for the tx-period-value argument is 1 to 120.

Usage guidelines

In most cases, the default settings are sufficient. You can edit the timers, depending on the network conditions.

· In a low-speed network, increase the client timeout timer.

· In a vulnerable network, set the quiet timer to a high value.

· In a high-performance network with quick authentication response, set the quiet timer to a low value.

· In a network with authentication servers of different performance, adjust the server timeout timer.

The periodic reauthentication timer does not take effect if the server has assigned a session timeout timer to the device.

The change to the periodic reauthentication timer applies to the users who have been online only after the old timer expires. Other timer changes take effect immediately on the device.

The network device uses the following 802.1X timers:

· EAD rule timer (EAD timeout)—Sets the lifetime of each EAD rule. When the timer expires or the user passes authentication, the rule is removed. If users fail to download the EAD client or fail to pass authentication within the timer, they must reconnect to the network to access the free IP.

· Handshake timer (handshake-period)—Sets the interval at which the access device sends client handshake requests to check the online status of a client that has passed authentication. If the device receives no response after sending the maximum number of handshake requests, it considers that the client has logged off.

· Quiet timer (quiet-period)—Starts when a client fails authentication. The access device must wait the time period before it can process the authentication attempts from the client.

· Periodic reauthentication timer (reauth-period)—Sets the interval at which the network device periodically reauthenticates online 802.1X users. To enable periodic online user reauthentication on a service template, use the dot1x re-authenticate command.

· Server timeout timer (server-timeout)—Starts when the access device sends a RADIUS Access-Request packet to the authentication server. If no response is received when this timer expires, the access device retransmits the request to the server.

· Client timeout timer (supp-timeout)—Starts when the access device sends an EAP-Request/MD5-Challenge packet to a client. If no response is received when this timer expires, the access device retransmits the request to the client.

· Username request timeout timer (tx-period)—Starts when the device sends an EAP-Request/Identity packet to a client in response to an authentication request. If the device receives no response before this timer expires, it retransmits the request. The timer also sets the interval at which the network device sends multicast EAP-Request/Identity packets to detect clients that cannot actively request authentication.
