ABSTRACT:
Various methods and systems for dynamically determining the role of a network device in a link authentication protocol exchange are disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method involves monitoring several (e.g., two) link authentication protocol exchanges. These link authentication protocol exchanges can be initiated at substantially the same time. A first network device acts as an authenticator in a first one of the link authentication protocol exchanges and a supplicant in a second one of the link authentication protocol exchanges. One of the link authentication protocol exchanges is terminated prior to completion.
