Ah, the age-old question of 'What can the client do before authentication?' I'm going to go with D. DHCP, DNS, and EAP only. Anything else would just be cheating, and we all know cheaters never prosper!

This question is a real head-scratcher. I'm going to go with C. RADIUS only, just to be different. Who knows, maybe the exam writers are trying to trick us.

Wait, what? The question says no fan-through options are configured, so option B can't be right. I'm going to go with D. DHCP, DNS, and EAP only.

This is a no-brainer! The answer is clearly A. EAP only. How else is the client going to complete the authentication process?

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. DHCP, DNS, and RADIUS only. The question states that no port-access roles are configured, so the authenticator should only allow essential traffic.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm going to go with option D. DHCP, DNS, and EAP seem like the most logical choices since the client hasn't completed authentication yet.
