Implementing Cisco Secure Access Solutions (SISAS, legacy) — Question 41

Which RADIUS attribute is used primarily to differentiate an IEEE 802.1x request from a Cisco MAB request?

Answer options

• A. RADIUS Attribute (5) NAS-Port
• B. RADIUS Attribute (6) Service-Type
• C. RADIUS Attribute (7) Framed-Protocol
• D. RADIUS Attribute (61) NAS-Port-Type

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, RADIUS Attribute (6) Service-Type, as it specifies the type of service being requested, helping to differentiate between IEEE 802.1x authentication and Cisco MAB. The other options do not specifically serve this purpose, as NAS-Port, Framed-Protocol, and NAS-Port-Type do not provide the necessary differentiation between these two request types.
