1x-proxy

802.1x Port Access Entity Proxy

This proxies PAE protocol packets between interfaces. Per the 802.1d specification this traffic is not supposed to be bridged so most switches will not do so.

For ISP's that require 802.1x authentication it can be useful to front-end the CPE with a device that runs this. It has been tested on various Ubiquiti EdgeRouter devices.

This currently only works for Linux. The BSD implementation is not complete.

Installation

Go already makes cross-compiling incredibly simple but a Makefile is included for convenience.

• Native build

$ make

• EdgeRouter Lite/Pro build

$ make mips64

• EdgeRouter X [SFP] build

$ make mipsle

Usage
