IEEE 802.1x object {{bibref|802.1x-2004}}, where {{object|Supplicant}} models authentication supplicants. {{numentries}} 802.1x supplicant authentication provisioning and status information associated with an interface to be authenticated (e.g. an {{object|##.Ethernet.Link}} instance). For enabled table entries, if {{param|Interface}} is not a valid reference then the table entry is inoperable and the CPE MUST set {{param|Status}} to {{enum|Error_Misconfigured|Status}}. Note: The {{object}} table includes a unique key parameter that is a strong reference. If a strongly referenced object is deleted, the CPE will set the referencing parameter to {{empty}}. However, doing so under these circumstances might cause the updated {{object}} row to then violate the table's unique key constraint; if this occurs, the CPE MUST set {{param|Status}} to {{enum|Error_Misconfigured|Status}} and disable the offending {{object}} row. This parameter controls whether this resource will utilize the 802.1x protocol as a supplicant for device authentication purposes. The current operational status of this 802.1x supplicant. {{enum}} The {{enum|Error_Misconfigured}} value indicates that a necessary configuration value is undefined or invalid. The {{enum|Error}} value MAY be used by the CPE to indicate a locally defined error condition. {{reference}} The interface on which authentication is to be performed. Example: Device.Ethernet.Link.1 The current supplicant state machine as defined in {{bibref|802.1x-2004|9.5.1}}, Supplicant PAE (Port Access Entity) State. {{enum}} The identity to be exchanged between the supplicant and authenticator. The maximum number of times the device will attempt to send an EAP start message before authentication fails as defined in {{bibref|802.1x-2004|9.5.1}}, maxStart. This is in support of {{bibref|802.1x-2004|Section 8.4.6}}, Migration Considerations. The period in {{units}} a supplicant will wait before the device will attempt to re-send an EAP start message as defined in {{bibref|802.1x-2004|9.5.1}}, startPeriod. The hold-off period in {{units}} a supplicant will wait before re-attempting authentication as defined in {{bibref|802.1x-2004|9.5.1}}, heldPeriod. The period in {{units}} after which a request will be considered timed out as defined in {{bibref|802.1x-2004|9.5.1}}, authPeriod. {{list}} Indicates the authentication methods supported by the device. {{enum}} The action to be taken when authentication has failed, when the network fails to respond to the supplicant's start message, and the retries have been exceeded (since network does not yet support 802.1x). {{enum}} This is in support of {{bibref|802.1x-2004|Section 8.4.6}}, Migration Considerations. The action to be taken when authentication succeeds and a connection has already received an address and/or policy settings. {{enum}} 802.1x Authentication Supplicant EAP statistics information for this resource.

The number of EAPOL frames that have been received by this Supplicant in which the Packet Body Length field is invalid; {{bibref|802.1x-2004|9.5.2}}, EAP length error frames received. The protocol version number carried in the most recently received EAPOL frame; {{bibref|802.1x-2004|9.5.2}}, Last EAPOL frame version The source MAC address carried in the most recently received EAPOL frame; {{bibref|802.1x-2004|9.5.2}}, Last EAPOL frame source. Count of the number of successful authentications from the perspective of this supplicant. Count of the number of failed authentications from the perspective of this supplicant. 802.1x Authentication Supplicant provisioning information used for MD5 shared secret exchange. This object will not exist if EAP-MD5 is not a supported authentication type. This parameter enables or disables the supplicant's support for EAP-MD5. The shared secret to be exchanged between the supplicant and authenticator. 802.1x Authentication Supplicant provisioning information used for TLS certificate authentication. This object will not exist if the EAP-TLS is not a supported authentication type. This parameter enables or disables the supplicant's support for EAP-TLS. The parameter controls if the supplicant will authenticate the authenticator. 802.1x Authentication provisioning information used for MD5 shared secret exchange. This object will not exist if EAP-MD5 is not a supported authentication type. 802.1x Authentication provisioning information used for TLS certificate authentication. This object will not exist if the EAP-TLS is not a supported authentication type.
