Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE) — Question 332

A new employee just connected their workstation to a Cisco IP phone. The network administrator wants to ensure that the Cisco IP phone remains online when the user disconnects their workstation from the corporate network.
Which CoA configuration meets this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Reauth
• B. Disconnect
• C. No CoA
• D. Port Bounce

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The 'Reauth' option allows the Cisco IP phone to maintain its connection even if the workstation is disconnected, ensuring it remains online. In contrast, 'Disconnect' would terminate the phone's connection, 'No CoA' implies no change to the current state, and 'Port Bounce' would disrupt the connection by resetting the port, which is not desirable in this scenario.
