Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 208

A Cisco APIC is configured to authenticate users by using RADIUS by default. The network administrator must ensure that the users can access the APIC GUI with a local account if the RADIUS server is unreachable. Which action achieves this goal?

Answer options

• A. Enable Fallback Check for Default Authentication.
• B. Configure the fallback login domain to reference Local Realm.
• C. Set RADIUS Realm to connect with Console Authentication.
• D. Create an additional login domain to associate with local accounts.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because configuring the fallback login domain to reference the Local Realm allows local accounts to be used when RADIUS is unavailable. Option A does not directly address the requirement of accessing local accounts, while option C relates to console access and not GUI access. Option D, while relevant to local accounts, does not specify the fallback mechanism needed for RADIUS failure.
