HPE6-A42 Exam - Question 27


A network manager wants to implement an Aruba wireless solution that accommodates 802.1X with EAP-TLS. All wireless users will utilize Active Directory (AD) accounts to authenticate.

Which device will the authenticator forward the authentication requests to in this type of solution?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

In an 802.1X with EAP-TLS setup, the authenticator forwards the authentication requests to a RADIUS server. The RADIUS server acts as the authentication server, verifying the credentials with the Active Directory (AD). This ensures secure authentication for wireless users.
