Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The remote access client and the IAS server attempt to negotiate the EAP authentication mechanism.
Key Takeaway: A remote access client requires authentication. Since the authentication methods are configured on the IAS server, the remote access client and the IAS server negotiate the EAP authentication mechanism. EAP typically runs directly over the link layer without requiring IP and includes its own support for in-order delivery and retransmission.
