Once a client discovers an access point, what is the correct order of steps for successful 802.1X authentication?
The correct order of steps for successful 802.1X authentication is Open System Authentication -> Association -> 802.1X Authentication. This sequence allows the client to establish a basic level of communication with the access point (Open System Authentication), formally connect to the network (Association), and then proceed with the secure 802.1X authentication to validate identity and authorize network access.
i have to correct myself. I checked in wireshark. D is correct. first is open system auth, then the association and then the 802.1X auth
Association -> Open System Authentication -> 802.1X Authentication only thinkable solution here.
