A company is deploying 802.1X for APs. The RADIUS server is configured with two authentication ports: 1812 and 1813. The AP is configured to use port 1812. Authentication fails, and the RADIUS server logs show no requests received. What is the most likely cause?

The switch port is not configured for 802.1X.

The RADIUS server's shared secret is incorrect.

The AP is sending requests to port 1813 instead of 1812.

The AP's EAP type is not supported.

What is the primary purpose of 802.1X authentication for access points?

To encrypt all wireless traffic between the client and the access point

To provide a secure tunnel for management traffic between the access point and the controller

To assign IP addresses to clients dynamically after they associate

To prevent unauthorized devices from joining the network by requiring credentials before granting access

When integrating a Cisco access point with a RADIUS server for 802.1X, which parameters must be configured on the access point?

Server IP address, username, and password

Server hostname, SNMP community string, and accounting port

Server IP address, shared secret, and authentication port

Server MAC address, encryption key, and VLAN ID
