The roadwarriors carol and dave set up a connection each to gateway moon using EAP-TTLS authentication only with the gateway presenting a server certificate and the clients doing EAP-MD5 password-based authentication. In a next step the EAP-TNC protocol is used within the EAP-TTLS tunnel to determine the health of carol and dave via the IF-TNCCS 2.0 client-server interface compliant with RFC 5793 PB-TNC. The IMC and IMV communicate are using the IF-M protocol defined by RFC 5792 PA-TNC.

carol passes the health test and dave fails. Based on these measurements carol is authenticated successfully and is granted access to the subnet behind moon whereas dave fails the layered EAP authentication and is rejected.
