Tagged dot1x authentication

dot1x packets can arrive tagged or untagged on the authenticator port from the host. SR OS can be configured to tunnel or extract tagged dot1x packets. SR OS forwards tagged dot1x packets only.

The tunneling or extracting of tagged dot1x packets can be enabled for dot1q (tunnel-dot1q) and QinQ (tunnel-qinq) encapsulation types.

Each of the encapsulation types configured on the port can be configured to tunnel dot1x packets or extract dot1x packets to be authenticated using a configured RADIUS policy.

The extraction or tunneling of tagged packets applies to any tag value.
