Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

In the IEEE 802.1X authentication process, the AP acts as an authenticator.

According to the Lecture 5 - Security - Part 1 document, the AP's role in the IEEE 802.1X authentication process is to act as an authenticator. This means that the AP acts as a gatekeeper between the client device (supplicant) and the RADIUS server (authentication server). The AP forwards authentication messages between the supplicant and the server and grants or denies network access based on the server's response.

I think the AP acts as an authentication server because it verifies the credentials of the supplicant.

B is the correct answer. The AP acts as a RADIUS proxy server, not a toaster.

That makes sense. The AP needs to communicate with the RADIUS server for authentication.
