VLAN authentication basics

When a port becomes operationally up with VLAN authentication enabled, the 7210 SAS (as the authenticator) performs the following steps:

After transmission of the first EAP-Request/ID PDU, the 7210 SAS begins listening on the port for VLAN-tagged EAPOL Start, Request-Identity frames from the access device connected to the port. Null-tagged EAPOL frames also trigger the authentication process if a Dot1q explicit null SAP is configured.
If the 7210 SAS receives a VLAN-tagged EAPOL frame (or a null-tagged EAPOL frame if a Dot1q explicit null SAP is configured), the 7210 SAS transmits the frame to the configured RADIUS server for comparison of the VLAN against the usernames configured in its database.

The User-Name attribute is contained in the RADIUS message. This attribute specifies the username received in the EAPOL frame from the client device.
If the VLAN is approved by the RADIUS server, the 7210 SAS maps all traffic received from the VLAN to a SAP and processes it in the context of the configured service.

If the VLAN is rejected by the RADIUS server, all traffic from the VLAN is dropped. The 7210 SAS enters a quiet period, configured using the quiet-period command, and will not authenticate the port using VLAN authentication. After the quiet period expires, the 7210 SAS returns to step1.

While the port is unauthenticated, the port will be down to all upper layer protocols or services.
