Parameter

chap: Authenticates supplicants using CHAP.

 

eap: Authenticates supplicants using EAP.

 

pap: Authenticates supplicants using PAP.

Description

Use the dot1x authentication-methodcommand to set the 802.1x

 

authentication method.

 

Use the undo dot1x authentication-methodcommand to restore the default.

 

By default, CHAP is used.

 

The password authentication protocol (PAP) transports passwords in clear text.

 

The challenge handshake authentication protocol (CHAP) transports only

 

usernames over the network. Compared with PAP, CHAP provides better

 

security.

 

With EAP relay authentication, the authenticator encapsulates 802.1x user

 

information in the EAP attributes of RADIUS packets and sends the packets to

 

the RADIUS server for authentication; it does not need to repackage the EAP

 

packets into standard RADIUS packets for authentication. In this case, you can

 

configure the user-name-formatcommand but it does not take effect.

 

Currently, the device supports these EAP modes: EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-MD5,

 

and PEAP.

 

Note that:

 

Local authentication supports only PAP and CHAP.

 

For RADIUS authentication, the RADIUS server must be configured accordingly

 

to support PAP, CHAP, or EAP authentication.

Related command: display dot1x.

Example

# Set the 802.1x authentication method to PAP.
