Huawei Exam H12-321 Topic 15 Question 92 Discussion

Actual exam question for Huawei's H12-321 exam

Question #: 92
Topic #: 15

Regarding the 802.1X authentication method, is the following description correct?

A802.1X authentication mode is divided into EAP termination and EAP transparent transmission.

BEAP transparent authentication requires the NAS device to identify and resolve key information in the EAP and map it to the RADIUS packet to complete the entire authentication.

CEAP termination authentication does not require the NAS to resolve EAP packets. Instead, the EAP is encapsulated in RADIUS packets, so that authentication packets traverse the encapsulated network and reach the authentication server.

DEAP transparent authentication is also called EAP relay authentication.

C is the correct answer, no doubt. The other options sound like they were written by someone who's never actually worked with 802.1X authentication. Hey, at least they're getting creative with the wrong answers!

You're right, I misunderstood. Option B seems to be the correct one then.

Wait, is this a trick question? I thought EAP transparent was the one where the NAS has to decode the EAP packets. Oh well, I'll still go with C just to be safe.

But option C mentions EAP termination, not EAP transparent authentication.

D sounds like a made-up term. EAP transparent and EAP relay are definitely not the same thing. I'm going with C as the best option here.

Definitely, EAP termination authentication simplifies the process by encapsulating EAP packets in RADIUS packets.

Yeah, EAP termination authentication seems more logical than EAP transparent authentication.

I agree, C is the correct answer. EAP termination is all about keeping the NAS simple and letting the authentication server handle the EAP logic.

Option C seems to be the most accurate description of EAP termination authentication. The NAS doesn't need to handle EAP packets, it just forwards them to the authentication server.
