eapol-start dest-address transform-condition

Function

The eapol-start dest-address transform-condition command specifies the EAPOL-start packets to be encapsulated by an AP.

The undo eapol-start dest-address transform-condition command restores the default settings.

By default, an AP encapsulates only the EAPOL-start packets with the destination MAC addresses being the AP's BSSID.

eapol-start dest-address transform-condition { always | equal-bssid }

undo eapol-start dest-address transform-condition

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

During 802.1X authentication, the destination MAC addresses of the EAPOL-start packets sent by some STAs are APs' BSSIDs, but the destination MAC addresses of the EAPOL-start packets sent by other STAs are not APs' BSSIDs. You need to run this command to specify the EAPOL-start packets to be encapsulated.

Precautions

The packet types specified by the eapol-start dest-address transform-condition and eapol-start dest-address transform-to commands must be the same.

Example

# Configure the AP to encapsulate all EAPOL-start packets.
