IKS-6726 Featured Functions
3-54
The IKS-6726 acts as an authenticator in the 802.1X environment. A supplicant and an authenticator exchange
EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN) frames with each other. We can either use an external
RADIUS server as the authentication server, or implement the authentication server in IKS-6726 by using a
Local User Database as the authentication look-up table. When we use an external RADIUS server as the
authentication server, the authenticator and the authentication server exchange EAP frames between each
other.
Authentication can be initiated either by the supplicant or the authenticator. When the supplicant initiates the
authentication process, it sends an EAPOL-Start frame to the authenticator. When the authenticator initiates
the authentication process or when it receives an EAPOL Start frame, it sends an EAP Request/Identity
frame to ask for the username of the supplicant.
