Sending EAP-Success packets to users in the 802.1X critical
VLAN
This feature is available in Release 1121 and later.
Typically, the device sends EAP-Failure packets to 802.1X clients when the client users are assigned
to the 802.1X critical VLAN. Some 802.1X clients, such as Windows built-in 802.1X clients, cannot
respond to the EAP-Request/Identity packets of the device if they have received an EAP-Failure
packet. As a result, reauthentication fails for these clients when an authentication server is
reachable.
This feature enables the device to send EAP-Success packets instead of EAP-Failure packets to
802.1X clients when the client users are assigned to the 802.1X critical VLAN. This operation
ensures that all 802.1X clients can perform reauthentication.
To configure the device to send an EAP-Success packet to an 802.1X client when its client user is
assigned to the critical VLAN on the port:
1. Enter system view.
