Assosiation problem with AP1100 and Xsupplicant using EAP/EAPoL

[Felix2]

Hello All,

after trying couple of things to solve my problem and

being unsuccess, I wanted to get an oppinion of an expert

to solve my problem.

The problem is following: I am having a Cisco AP 1100

and a Cisco WLAN PCMCIA card PCM352. I wanted to set up

a 802.1x authentication scenario with them. I am trying

with RADIUS server as authentication server and xsupplicant

at client side. The thing is, I am checking for the respective

Accesspoint and assosiating with it to communicate and

starting xsupplicant with 802.1x process.

As soon as I get assosiated AP is sending me a Request.

Now Xsupplicant is starting EAPoL to which AP is sending

again a Request, to which the Xsupplicant is sending an

answer. But the AP is telling that the Response ID is not

matching with the Request ID.

Question: How can I tell to AP that it should ONLY send

a request if EAPoL Start is sent and not, if I just insert

my card into the PCMCIA slot.

I would be happy if you can help me in this point, as I

am not able to solve this since couple of days.

Thanking you in advance

Did you install the proper certificate at the client side?

Hi Scott,

I have installed all the required credentials. I have observed following. If I insert a WLAN PCMCIA card, I am getting every 30s a Request from Cisco AP. If I give a response to this request, I am able to assosiate with the AP and getting success from RADIUS server. But if I start the 802.1x scenario, i.e. starting with EAPoL start request from client, sometimes it is working and some times not. After debugging the traffic, I found that AP is getting confused between the request he sends every 30s and the request he send after getting EAPoL start. That seems to be problem, for which the Cisco-Firmware should find a solution.

I mean there should be an option in the AP configuration to send request only in response to EAPoL start.

Thanx,

Felix
