EAP authentication trigger method and system, access network equipment, terminal equipment

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide an EAP authentication trigger method and system, an access network device, and a terminal device. By carrying the identifier of the terminal device in the first management frame sent by the terminal device received by the access network device, the access network device The network device generates an EAP response / identification message containing the identification of the terminal device, and sends the EAP response / identification message to the authentication server, so that the authentication server and the terminal device execute an EAP authentication method, which solves the problem Due to the problem that there are many messages exchanged between the terminal device and the network side device in the existing technology, compared with the existing technology, the EAP authentication process time is greatly shortened, thereby improving the execution efficiency of EAP authentication and reducing access Signaling processing burden of network equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to communication technologies, and in particular to an extensible authentication protocol (Extensible Authentication Protocol, EAP) authentication triggering method and system, access network equipment, and terminal equipment. Background technique [0002] In the process of establishing a wireless communication network such as a wireless local area network (Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN) connection, the authentication server (Authentication Server, AS) needs to execute the EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol, EAP, extensible authentication protocol) authentication. Specifically, the access network device receives an EAP authentication start (EAPoL-Start) message sent by the terminal device, and the message is used to indicate that an EAP authentication method needs to be executed. The access network device sends an EAP request / identity (EAP-Request / Identity) message to the terminal device, and receiv...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the triggering process of the existing EAP authentication, there are many messages exchanged between the terminal device and the access network device, which makes the EAP authentication process take a long time, resulting in a reduction in the execution efficiency of EAP authentication, and the access network device Increased signaling processing burden of the
