Implementing Cisco Network Security (IINS, legacy) — Question 31

Refer to the exhibit.
If a supplicant supplies incorrect credentials for the authentication methods configured on the switch, how will the switch respond?

Answer options

• A. The switch will cycle through the configured authentication methods indefinitely
• B. The supplicant will fail to advance beyond the webauth method
• C. The authentication attempt will time out and the switch will place the port into the unauthorized state

Correct answer: V, L, A, N

Explanation

The correct answer is C because when the supplicant provides incorrect credentials, the authentication process will eventually time out, leading the switch to place the port in an unauthorized state. Option A is incorrect as the switch does not loop indefinitely but will time out. Option B is also incorrect since the supplicant can advance to the next method if one fails.
