SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires nettools-core, python3.

What problem does it solve?

Assesses 802.1X and RADIUS authentication delays or failures affecting Wi-Fi access, using the bundled NETTOOLS helper to gather telemetry and diagnose symptoms such as timeouts, auth-success rate changes, and certificate-related issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evaluate 802.1X success rate and RADIUS reachability to detect authentication bottlenecks.
  • Identify timeout patterns, credential failures, and certificate-related symptoms impacting users.
  • Use within targeted scopes (client, SSID, site) and produce a structured SkillResult with evidence and recommended follow-ups.

Quick Start

Run the 802.1X/RADIUS analyzer against a target client or SSID to diagnose authentication delays and failures.

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose Wi-Fi 802.1X RADIUS authentication delays and failures?

You can diagnose Wi-Fi 802.1X RADIUS authentication delays by running the analyzer against a target client, SSID, or site to gather telemetry and detect authentication bottlenecks like timeouts and credential failures.

What causes 802.1X authentication timeouts on a wireless network?

802.1X authentication timeouts are typically caused by RADIUS reachability issues, credential failures, or certificate-related symptoms. Analyzing telemetry from the auth adapter helps identify these specific authentication bottlenecks.

Can I test RADIUS authentication issues without a live network adapter?

Yes, you can test RADIUS authentication issues using a fixture file. This test mode simulates telemetry data, allowing you to evaluate authentication success rates and identify timeout patterns without a configured live auth adapter.

Do I need python3 and NETTOOLS to diagnose 802.1X network access issues?

Yes, diagnosing 802.1X network access issues requires python3 and the NETTOOLS package under skills/nettools-core. You also need a configured auth adapter for live mode or a fixture file for test mode to gather telemetry.

What is the best way to evaluate 802.1X success rate and RADIUS reachability?

The best way to evaluate 802.1X success rate and RADIUS reachability is to run the analyzer within targeted scopes like specific clients or SSIDs. It produces a structured SkillResult with evidence and recommended follow-ups.
