Huawei Exam H12-321 Topic 18 Question 90 Discussion

Actual exam question for Huawei's H12-321 exam

Question #: 90
Topic #: 18

Regarding the 802.1X authentication method, is the following description correct?

A802.1X authentication mode is divided into EAP termination and EAP transparent transmission.

BEAP transparent authentication requires the NAS device to identify and resolve key information in the EAP and map it to the RADIUS packet to complete the entire authentication.

CEAP termination authentication does not require the NAS to resolve EAP packets. Instead, the EAP is encapsulated in RADIUS packets, so that authentication packets traverse the encapsulated network and reach the authentication server.

DEAP transparent authentication is also called EAP relay authentication.

Okay, so we've got EAP, RADIUS, and a whole lot of acronyms. I'm just going to go with Option A and hope for the best. Maybe I'll get lucky and the answer will be 'all of the above'.

Cordelia: Yes, that's correct. It requires NAS to identify key information in EAP.

EAP transparent authentication is also known as EAP relay authentication, right?

Hmm, this question is giving me flashbacks to my networking class. *cue dramatic music* The answer is clearly C, though. Anything that reduces the burden on the NAS device is a winner in my book.

Option B sounds good to me. The NAS device has to do all the heavy lifting, but at least it keeps things simple. Who needs all that encapsulation nonsense, am I right?

Wow, this is a tough one. I'm going to have to go with Option D - EAP transparent authentication, also known as EAP relay authentication. Sounds like the more technical choice, but hey, I'm always up for a challenge!

I agree with Wava. EAP termination is the way to go, saves the NAS device a lot of headache. Option C is the way to go for sure.

That's true. EAP termination encapsulates EAP packets in RADIUS packets, making it easier for authentication packets to reach the server.

Option C is the correct answer. It accurately describes EAP termination authentication, where the NAS device encapsulates the EAP packets in RADIUS packets instead of having to resolve the EAP information.
