John’s organization has an IAS configured to accept multiple authentication methods. During a negotiation, the network access servers attempt to negotiate a connection using the most secure protocol first, i.e. EAP first. Which of the following entities attempt to negotiate the EAP authentication mechanism?
  1. Remote access client and the IAS server
  2. RAS server and the IAS server
  3. RAS server and the remote access client
  4. RADIUS client and the remote access client
Explanation
Answer - A - The remote access client and the IAS server attempt to negotiate the EAP authentication mechanism.

Key Takeaway: A remote access client requires authentication. Since the authentication methods are configured on the IAS server, the remote access client and the IAS server negotiate the EAP authentication mechanism. EAP typically runs directly over the link layer without requiring IP and includes its own support for in-order delivery and retransmission.
