3.2.9 AUTHENTICATION!SUPPORT!
!
The CPE supports three modes of authentication:
1. Null authentication: This can be enforced by setting the PKM version to none on the BS.
2. Supplicant workaround flag: In which case the CPE is only involved in the authentication
using dummy keys. It is not recommended to use this mode.
3. EAP Authentication using either TLS or TTLS.
In order to switch between the workaround and supplicant modes, the SUPP_WORKAROUND
configuration parameter must be set and saved.
1. If the supplicant is enabled then SUPP_WORKAROUND flag is set to True, the CPE will
work with the supplicant workaround mode with the next authentication procedure, however
it is recommended to stop and start the CPE.
2. To switch from the workaround mode to the Supplicant mode, a reboot is needed since the
supplicant needs to be initialized in the BSP.
