Figure 24 802.1X authentication procedure in EAP relay mode
1. When a user launches the 802.1X client software and enters a registered username and password,
the 802.1X client software sends an EAPOL-Start packet to the network access device.
2. The network access device responds with an Identity EAP-Request packet to ask for the client
username.
