Hi Matt,

As commented by Andreas, IKEv2 allows any EAP method to be used. 

For instance, the OpenIKEv2 implementation
(http://openikev2.sourceforge.net) allows you to configure the VPN
gateway as an EAP pass-throwgh authenticator, that is, just forwarding
the received EAP packets from the client (thought the IKEv2 channel) to
the RADIUS server (using RADIUS transport) and vice-versa.

On the client side, OpenIKEv2 is easily extensible to add support for
any EAP method just by adding a new subclass of the EapClient abstract
class.


The scenarios would be similar to those indicated by Andreas.

Best regards,
Alejandro
