HPE6-A85: HPE Network Campus Access Associate ExamDemo

IEEE 802.1X starts authentication as the wired network connection becomes active: the client initiates EAPOL authentication with the switch before normal traffic is permitted. Firewall-policy enforcement and captive-portal login occur separately, while Pairwise Master Keys are used in wireless security contexts. Microsoft documents that an EAPOL-Start message initiates the 802.1X authentication process and that IEEE 802.1X supports wired access.
