Wireless Client Association and Authentication ( Which one is first) ??

Beacon Bits

Hello,

 

I'm confused in understanding when Wireless client connects to AP what process it goes first; Authentication or Association?

And what occurs in these two processes? What I know is 4-way handshake does occur in Association Process and EAP process(radius) does occur in Authentication.

I read somewhere that Authentication occurs first and than Association. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

So there is a possibility that Wireless client could be authentiacated but stcuk in association process bcoz of 4-way handshake; please advise me on this if this correct?

 

Regards,

B
