EAP over LAN (EAPOL) is used to authenticate WLAN clients at APs and makes use of WPA and/or 802.1x. This protocol allows layer-2 connections to support EAP communications by encapsulating EAP packets into Ethernet frames.
Under certain circumstances it may be desirable to select a lower data rate for the transfer of EAPOL packets than that available for the payload data. In the case of mobile WLAN clients, high data rates can cause EAPOL packet losses, which in turn leads to considerable delays in client association. This procedure can be stabilized by selecting specific data rates for EAPOL.
Command line:
- EAPOL-RateSet the data rate for EAPOL transmission here.
Possible values:
- Like-Data, select from the available speeds
- Like-Data
- Like-Data transmits the EAPOL data at the same rate as payload data.
