CA 2501669

A system and method to authenticate attached functions seeking access to network services through a network entry device. The system includes a relay function of the network entry device for forwarding authentication messages to a device having full IEEE Standard 802.1X Port Access Entity (PAE) functionality. The relay function directs authentication information to the PAE device to perform the authentication function pursuant to that standard. The relay function eliminates the need for the network entry device to operate as a PAE device. The relay function may forward the authentication messages in a form compatible with IEEE Standard 802.1D or IEEE Standard 802.1Q.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé d'authentification de fonctions rattachées cherchant à accéder à des services réseau au moyen d'un dispositif d'entrée réseau. Ce système comprend une fonction relais du dispositif d'entrée réseau qui permet de transmettre des messages d'authentification à un dispositif possédant une fonctionnalité complète de point d'accès PAE (port access entity) standard IEEE 802.1X. La fonction relais dirige des informations d'authentification vers le dispositif PAE pour effectuer la fonction d'authentification en vertu de ce standard. La fonction relais évite au dispositif d'entrée réseau de faire office de dispositif PAE. Ladite fonction relais peut transmettre les messages d'authentification dans un format compatible au standard IEEE 802.1D ou au standard IEEE 802.1Q.
