A wireless engineer has performed a Wireshark ccapture on an 802.

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is an authentication framework frequently used in wireless networks and Point-to-Point connections. During the EAP authentication process, EAP Request and EAP Response packets are exchanged between the supplicant (client device) and the authenticator (network). These packets are used to transport messages for the authentication process. An EAP Request packet is sent by the authenticator requesting identity information from the supplicant, while an EAP Response packet is sent by the supplicant in reply to the request. The other options, such as EAP complete, EAP failure, and EAP reply, are not standard EAP packet types. References: CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide
