EAP-PAP protocol support for MAC RADIUS authentication

You can configure the switch to use the Password Authentication Protocol when authenticating clients with the MAC RADIUS authentication method. PAP transmits plaintext passwords over the network without encryption. It is required for use with LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), which supports plaintext passwords for client authentication. This feature is configured using the authentication- protocol CLI statement at the [edit protocols dot1x authenticator interface interface-name mac-radius] hierarchy level.
