Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE) — Question 257

An engineer is starting to implement a wired 802.1X project throughout the campus. The task is to ensure that the authentication procedure is disabled on the ports but still allows all endpoints to connect to the network. Which port-control option must the engineer configure?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, force-authorized, as it allows all endpoints to connect without requiring authentication on the ports. Option A, pae-disabled, completely disables 802.1X, which is not the requirement. Option B, auto, would require devices to authenticate, which contradicts the need to allow all endpoints. Option D, force-unauthorized, would prevent any connections, which is not desired in this scenario.
