Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 643

Which mechanism can be used to enforce network access authentication against an AAA server if the endpoint does not support the 802.1X supplicant functionality?

Answer options

• A. WebAuth
• B. MACsec
• C. private VLANs
• D. port security

Correct answer: A

Explanation

WebAuth is designed to provide a way for endpoints that do not support 802.1X to authenticate through a web interface, making it the correct choice. MACsec, private VLANs, and port security do not provide authentication mechanisms and instead focus on securing data or segmenting network traffic.
