Enabling EAP relay or EAP termination
When configuring EAP relay or EAP termination, consider the following factors:
• Support of the RADIUS server for EAP packets.
• Authentication methods supported by the 802.1X client and the RADIUS server.
You can use both EAP termination and EAP relay in any of the following situations:
• The client is using only MD5-Challenge EAP authentication.
• The client is using only the username and password EAP authentication initiated by an HP iNode
802.1X client.
To use EAP-TL, PEAP, or any other EAP authentication methods, you must use EAP relay. When you make
your decision, see "Comparing EAP relay and EAP termination" f
or help.
For more information about EAP relay and EAP termination, see "802.1X authentication procedures."

By default, the access device performs EAP
termination and uses CHAP to communicate with the
RADIUS server.
Specify the eap keyword to enable EAP relay.
Specify the chap or pap keyword to enable
CHAP-enabled or PAP-enabled EAP termination.
NOTE:
If EAP relay mode is used, the user-name-format command configured in RADIUS scheme view does no
t
take effect. The access device sends the authentication data from the client to the server without any
modification.
