FCSS – LAN Edge Administrator 7.6 — Question 13

What are three key components of the 802.1X authentication process? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Supplicant
• B. Authentication Server
• C. Authentication Service
• D. Gateway
• E. Authenticator

Correct answer: A, B, E

Explanation

The correct components of the 802.1X authentication process are the Supplicant, Authentication Server, and Authenticator. The Supplicant is the device requesting access, the Authentication Server verifies the credentials, and the Authenticator acts as a gatekeeper to control access. The Authentication Service is not a recognized component in this context, and Gateway is not directly involved in the 802.1X authentication process.
