Subject: [Technical Errata Reported] RFC3580 (1503)

 

The following errata report has been submitted for RFC3580,

"IEEE 802.1X Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) Usage Guidelines".

 

--------------------------------------

You may review the report below and at:

http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=3580&eid=1503

 

--------------------------------------

Type: Technical

Reported by: Avi Lior <avi@bridgewatersystems.com>

 

Section: 3.21

 

Original Text

-------------

For IEEE 802.1X Authenticators, this attribute is used to store the

   Supplicant MAC address in ASCII format (upper case only), with octet

   values separated by a "-".  Example: "00-10-A4-23-19-C0".

 

Corrected Text

--------------

For IEEE Std 802.1X-2001 authenticators, this attribute is used to store the bridge or Access Point MAC

address, represented as an ASCII character string in Canonical format (see IEEE Std 802). For example,

&#147;00-10-A4-23-19-C0.&#148;

 

Notes

-----

The IETF Informational RFC needed to specify that the representation of the MAC address is in Canonical Format.

 

This is the case in the IEEE document 802_1x-2001 which is the corrected text provided.

 

I would be okay if the authors wanted to use Supplicant MAC address instead of "bridge or Access Point" in the proposed corrected text.
