Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH, legacy) — Question 6

Which two statements about 802.1X are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It can allow and deny port access based on device identity.
• B. It is a Cisco proprietary standard.
• C. It works only with wired devices.
• D. By default, it allows devices that lack 802.1 support.
• E. It can allow and deny port access based on user identity.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct as 802.1X can indeed manage port access based on the identity of the device. Option C is also correct because 802.1X is primarily designed for wired connections, though it can work with wireless as well. The other options are incorrect; 802.1X is not a Cisco proprietary standard, it can work with wireless devices, and by default, it does not allow devices without 802.1 support.
