* [build] Mark core files as permitted for UEFI Secure BootMichael Brown2026-01-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Mark all files used in a standard build of bin-x86_64-efi/snponly.efi as permitted for UEFI Secure Boot. These files represent the core functionality of iPXE that is guaranteed to have been included in every binary that was previously subject to a security review and signed by Microsoft. It is therefore legitimate to assume that at least these files have already been reviewed to the required standard multiple times. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>

* [eapol] Delay EAPoL-Start while waiting for EAP to completeMichael Brown2023-11-071-36/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EAP exchanges may take a long time to reach a final status, especially when relying upon MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB). Our current behaviour of sending EAPoL-Start every few seconds until a final status is obtained can prevent these exchanges from ever completing. Fix by redefining the EAP supplicant state to allow EAPoL-Start to be suppressed: either temporarily (while waiting for a full EAP exchange to complete, in which case we need to eventually resend EAPoL-Start if the final Success or Failure packet is lost), or permanently (while waiting for the potentially very long MAC Authentication Bypass timeout period).

* [eapol] Send EAPoL-Start packets to trigger EAP authenticationMichael Brown2023-09-201-0/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have no way to force a link-layer restart in iPXE, and therefore no way to explicitly trigger a restart of EAP authentication. If an iPXE script has performed some action that requires such a restart (e.g. registering a device such that the port VLAN assignment will be changed), then the only means currently available to effect the restart is to reboot the whole system. If iPXE is taking over a physical link already used by a preceding bootloader, then even a reboot may not work. In the EAP model, the supplicant is a pure responder and never initiates transmissions. EAPoL extends this to include an EAPoL-Start packet type that may be sent by the supplicant to (re)trigger EAP. Add support for sending EAPoL-Start packets at two-second intervals on links that are open and have reached physical link-up, but for which EAP has not yet completed. This allows "ifclose ; ifopen" to be used to restart the EAP process. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [eap] Define a supplicant model for EAP and EAPoLMichael Brown2023-09-181-4/+119
| | | | | | | | Extend the EAP model to include a record of whether or not EAP authentication has completed (successfully or otherwise), and to provide a method for transmitting EAP responses. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [eap] Treat an EAP Request-Identity as indicating a blocked linkMichael Brown2021-01-191-0/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A switch port using 802.1x authentication will send EAP Request-Identity packets once the physical link is up, and will not be forwarding packets until the port identity has been established. We do not currently support 802.1x authentication. However, a reasonably common configuration involves using a preset list of permitted MAC addresses, with the "authentication" taking place between the switch and a RADIUS server. In this configuration, the end device does not need to perform any authentication step, but does need to be prepared for the switch port to fail to forward packets for a substantial time after physical link-up. This exactly matches the "blocked link" semantics already used when detecting a non-forwarding switch port via LACP or STP. Treat a received EAP Request-Identity as indicating a blocked link. Unlike LACP or STP, there is no way to determine the expected time until the next EAP packet and so we must choose a fixed timeout. Erroneously assuming that the link is blocked is relatively harmless since we will still attempt to transmit and receive data even over a link that is marked as blocked, and so the net effect is merely to prolong DHCP attempts. In contrast, erroneously assuming that the link is unblocked will potentially cause DHCP to time out and give up, resulting in a failed boot. The default EAP Request-Identity interval in Cisco switches (where this is most likely to be encountered in practice) is 30 seconds, so choose 45 seconds as a timeout that is likely to avoid gaps during which we falsely assume that the link is unblocked.

* [netdevice] Allow link layer to report broadcast/multicast packets via pull()Michael Brown2011-07-151-1/+3
| | | | | | | | Allow the link layer to directly report whether or not a packet is multicast or broadcast at the time of calling pull(), rather than relying on heuristics to determine this at a later stage. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [netdevice] Pass both link-layer addresses in net_tx() and net_rx()Michael Brown2010-10-071-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | FCoE requires the use of fabric-provided MAC addresses, which breaks the assumption that the net device's MAC address is implicitly the source address for net_tx() and the (unicast) destination address for net_rx(). Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [build] Rename gPXE to iPXEMichael Brown2010-04-201-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and updating URLs to match. Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

* [eapol] Add basic support for 802.1X EAP over LANsJoshua Oreman2010-01-051-0/+85
EAPOL is a container protocol that can wrap either EAP packets or 802.11 EAPOL-Key frames. For cleanliness' sake, add a stub that strips the framing and sends packets off to the appropriate handler if it is compiled in. Signed-off-by: Marty Connor <mdc@etherboot.org>
