EapMethodType Complex Type
The EapMethodType complex type defines the elements that uniquely identify a single EAP method: Type, VendorId, VendorType, and AuthorId.
Type and AuthorId are mandatory elements, whereas VendorType and VendorId are required only when the Type element is 254 (an expanded EAP method).

Child elements
| Element | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AuthorId | unsignedInt | Refers to the method author. |
| Type | unsignedByte | Refers to the EAP method type. |
| VendorId | unsignedInt | Refers to the vendor who defined the method - if the Type element is 254 (an expanded EAP method). The VendorId is optional. |
| VendorType | unsignedInt | Is the vendor defined type for the method. The VendorType is optional. |
Remarks
The AuthorId and VendorId elements do not need to be the same for a particular method.
