undo dot1x authentication-method
View System view
Parameter chap: Authenticates supplicants using CHAP.
eap: Authenticates supplicants using EAP.
pap: Authenticates supplicants using PAP.
Description Use the
dot1x authentication-method command to set the 802.1x
authentication method.
Use the
undo dot1x authentication-method command 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-format command 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.
