Question 560
An enterprise network designer recommends: Correct the authorized MAC RADIUS identity record after verifying the endpoint's true address. Which situation most clearly calls for this action?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This case requires the MAC RADIUS entry mismatch action. The switch's MAC-based request can match the expected authorized device record.
Incorrect Answers
This other case would be better matched to Use a supported authentication-order design that tries 802.1X and then permitted MAC authentication where appropriate. Legacy devices can follow a controlled alternative rather than bypassing all network admission checks.
This other case would be better matched to Recognize the spoofing limitations of MAC identity and use stronger 802.1X when possible. The security design does not mistake a changeable hardware address for a cryptographic credential.
This other case would be better matched to Inspect captive portal redirection, DNS reachability and HTTP/HTTPS interception policy. The portal can become reachable for an unauthenticated browser session.
