Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention discloses a method, an apparatus, and a system for centralized 802.1X authentication in a wireless local area network, and the method includes: receiving, by the access point, an EAP authentication start message from the UE, where a destination address of the EAP authentication start message is a MAC address corresponding to an air interface of the access point, and its source address is a MAC address of the UE; modifying the destination address of the EAP authentication start message to be a multicast address of a port access entity or a MAC address of the authentication entity; and forwarding the EAP authentication start message whose destination address is modified.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for centralized 802.1X authentication in a wireless local area network, wherein the wireless local area network comprises an authentication entity, an access point, and at least one user equipment (UE), the authentication entity is connected to the at least one UE through the access point, and the method comprises: receiving, by the access point, an extensive authentication protocol (EAP) authentication start message from the UE, wherein a destinati…
