Answers
D.
The root bridge
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

The device in the bridge implementation that acts as the 802.1X Authenticator is theroot bridge. The root bridge is the bridge that connects to the wired network and acts as the central point for all other bridges in the point-to-multipoint topology. The root bridge authenticates the non-root bridges using 802.1X/EAP and forwards their authentication requests to the RADIUS server. The non-root bridges act as the 802.1X Supplicants and use EAP methods such as EAP-TLS or EAP-PEAP to authenticate with the root bridge.Reference:[CWNP Certified Wireless Network Administrator Official Study Guide: Exam CWNA-109], page 459; [Cisco Aironet Wireless Bridges FAQ], question 29.
