A network technician has successfully connected to the employee SSID via 802 1X Which RADIUS message should you look for to ensure a successful connection?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The RADIUS message that you should look for to ensure a successful connection via 802.1X is Access-Accept. This message indicates that the RADIUS server has authenticated and authorized the supplicant (the device that wants to access the network) and has granted it access to the network resources. The Access-Accept message may also contain additional attributes such as VLAN ID, session timeout, or filter ID that specify how the authenticator (the device that controls access to the network, such as a switch) should treat the supplicant's traffic.

The other options are not RADIUS messages because:

Authorized: This is not a RADIUS message, but a state that indicates that a port on an authenticator is allowed to pass traffic from a supplicant after successful authentication and authorization.

Success: This is not a RADIUS message, but a status that indicates that an EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is an authentication framework that provides support for multiple authentication methods, such as passwords, certificates, tokens, or biometrics. EAP is used in wireless networks and point-to-point connections to provide secure authentication between a supplicant (a device that wants to access the network) and an authentication server (a device that verifies the credentials of the supplicant). exchange has completed successfully between a supplicant and an authentication server.

Authenticated: This is not a RADIUS message, but a state that indicates that a port on an authenticator has received an EAP-Success message from an authentication server after successful authentication of a supplicant.

Agreed! Access-Accept means the user is allowed access.

Wait, is "Success" not a valid option?

I’m leaning towards B) Access-Accept as well, but I wish I had reviewed the RADIUS message types more thoroughly before the exam.

I feel like I might confuse Access-Accept with something else. Wasn't there a message called Authenticated too?

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to identify RADIUS messages, and Access-Accept was definitely a key term.

I think the answer might be B) Access-Accept, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only message we need to look for.
