Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE) — Question 113

An engineer is configuring 802.1X and wants it to be transparent from the users' point of view. The implementation should provide open authentication on the switch ports while providing strong levels of security for non-authenticated devices.
Which deployment mode should be used to achieve this?

Answer options

• A. closed
• B. high-impact
• C. low-impact
• D. open

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The low-impact deployment mode allows for open authentication, ensuring that users experience transparency while still maintaining strong security for non-authenticated devices. The other modes, such as closed and high-impact, do not provide the required balance of user transparency and security for unauthenticated devices.
