However, if during bootup, the supplicant does not receive an EAP-request/identity frame from the Wireless AP, the client can initiate

authentication by sending an EAPOL-Start frame, which prompts the switch to request the supplicant’s identity. In above case,

authenticator co-locate with authentication server. When the supplicant supplies its identity, the authenticator directly exchanges

EAPOL to the supplicant until authentication succeeds or fails. If the authentication succeeds, the port becomes authorized. If the

authentication fails, the port becomes unauthorized. When the supplicant does not need Wireless access any more, it sends EAPOL-

Logoff packet to terminate its 802.1x session, the port state will become unauthorized. The following figure shows the EAPOL

exchange ping-pong chart.

The EAPOL packet contains the following fields: protocol version, packet type, packet body length and packet body. Most of the fields

are obvious. The packet type can have four different values, and these values are described below:

1 2 ... 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 ... 294 295
