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.
