Implementing Cisco Data Center Unified Computing (DCUCT, legacy) — Question 3

Which of the following are true concerning authentication within a Cisco Unified Computing System?

Answer options

• A. Authentication domains are used to leverage individual authentication systems.
• B. You can create up to 64 authentication domains, each associated with a provider group and realm in Cisco Unified Computing System Manager.
• C. Cisco Unfiled Computing System supports LDAP or RADIUS for remote authentication.
• D. A locally authenticated user account is authenticated directly through the fabric interconnect.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because locally authenticated user accounts are indeed verified through the fabric interconnect, ensuring secure access. Option A is incorrect as authentication domains do not leverage individual systems in the way described, while B is misleading; the system does have a limit on domains but the specifics may vary based on configuration. Option C is incorrect because Cisco Unified Computing System supports LDAP and RADIUS, but this is not the main point of local authentication.
