The invention discloses a cross-switch access
authentication method for multi-network-port
link aggregation, and solves the problems that the existing cross-switch aggregation depends on an LACP (
Link Aggregation Control Protocol) or a manufacturer private protocol, the
interoperability is poor and a single-point fault occurs. The
system comprises a host and a switch, the host is provided with an
authentication client, a logic aggregation interface, a
physical interface, a state recording and retry module and a
data transmission module, and the switch is provided with an
access control module. According to the method, a plurality of physical interfaces are aggregated into a logic
interface bond0 through static configuration at a host end, and a service IP is configured; and independently operating an
authentication client on each
physical interface, executing EAP-TLS authentication, and sending a message from the corresponding interface. The interface state is recorded during initialization, if an unauthenticated interface is found, retry is immediately carried out, and meanwhile forwarding of other authenticated links is kept; when the link or the switch fails, the bond0 is automatically switched to other effective links; when the authentication session expires, the host initiates re-authentication, ensuring session continuity.
