Hmm, I wonder if the firewall could be considered a supplicant in some weird edge case. Nah, just kidding. D is the way to go, no doubt about it.

Easy peasy, the supplicant is the device that authenticates to the network, so it's gotta be the client laptop. A, B, and C are all part of the authentication infrastructure, not the supplicant itself.

Exactly, they are part of the authentication process but not the supplicant.

So, the network switch, perimeter firewall, and RADIUS server are not supplicants.

Yeah, the client laptop is the one that needs to prove its identity.

Haha, a RADIUS server as the supplicant? That's a good one! Clearly the answer is D, the client laptop.

I'm torn between A and D, but I think a client laptop makes the most sense as the supplicant. A network switch seems more like the authenticator, right?

Definitely option D, a client laptop is the supplicant in an 802.1x deployment. This is pretty basic stuff.

I'm not sure, but I think a network switch could also be considered a Supplicant in some cases.
