Usage guidelines
The network access device terminates or relays EAP packets:
In EAP termination mode—The access device re-encapsulates and sends the authentication data
•
from the client in standard RADIUS packets to the RADIUS server, and performs either CHAP or PAP
authentication with the RADIUS server. In this mode the RADIUS server supports only
MD5-Challenge EAP authentication, and "username+password" EAP authentication initiated by an
iNode client.
