Drew is analyzing entry to a network utilizing 802.1X authentication. Which of the following is NOT one of the three main components of this setup?
The correct answer is B) AS.
B) AS (Authentication Server): While the authentication server is indeed part of the 802.1X setup (usually a RADIUS server), the term "AS" is not commonly listed as one of the three main components of 802.1X. The three main components are supplicant, authenticator, and EAP. The authentication server plays a supporting role but is not traditionally listed as one of the "three main components.
Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:
Supplicant: The supplicant is the device or client attempting to access the network. It provides credentials (such as a username and password) to the authenticator to prove its identity during the 802.1X authentication process.
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol): EAP is a framework that is used within 802.1X for carrying out the authentication process. It defines methods for communication between the supplicant and the authentication server. EAP provides a variety of authentication methods, including certificates, passwords, and tokens.
Authenticator: The authenticator is typically a network device, such as a switch or wireless access point, that controls access to the network. It acts as an intermediary between the supplicant and the authentication server, relaying authentication requests and responses.
