Ooh, good point, Gladys. I was leaning towards EAP, but you're right, that's more of an encapsulation protocol. RADIUS makes the most sense here for the actual authentication mechanism.

Hmm, let me think this through. 802.1 authentication implies some kind of port-based access control, so I'm guessing it's either RADIUS or TACACS+. Those are the usual suspects for that kind of thing.

Alright, let's review the options. I'd say RADIUS is the clear winner here. It's the industry standard for 802.1X authentication between endpoints and switches.

Ha, leave it to Samantha to bring up some obscure networking protocol. She's like a walking encyclopedia, I swear.
