eapol-response dest-address transform-to
Function
The eapol-response dest-address transform-to command configures an AP to encapsulate EAPOL-response packets into broadcast, multicast, or unicast packets.
The undo eapol-response dest-address transform-to command restores the default settings.
By default, an AP encapsulates EAPOL-response packets into unicast packets and actively learns the destination MAC address.
Format
eapol-response dest-address transform-to { broadcast | multicast | mac mac-address | learning }

Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
broadcast |
Configures an AP to encapsulate EAPOL-response packets into broadcast packets. |
- |
multicast |
Configures an AP to encapsulate EAPOL-response packets into multicast packets. |
- |
mac mac-address |
Configures an AP to encapsulate EAPOL-response packets into unicast packets with a specified destination MAC address. |
The value is in H-H-H format. An H is a hexadecimal number of four digits. |
learning |
Configures an AP to encapsulate EAPOL-response packets into unicast packets and actively learn the destination MAC address. |

Usage Guidelines
If the authentication server can only process EAP multicast packets, configure the AP to encapsulate EAPOL-response packets into multicast packets.
If the authentication server can only process EAP broadcast packets, configure the AP to encapsulate EAPOL-response packets into broadcast packets.
If the authentication server can only process EAP unicast packets, configure the AP to encapsulate EAPOL-response packets into unicast packets. When the AP is configured to encapsulate EAPOL-response packets into unicast packets, a unicast MAC address must be configured.
