Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 842

Which access control feature does MAB provide?

Answer options

• A. simultaneous user and device authentication
• B. allows devices to bypass authentication
• C. network access based on the physical address of a device
• D. user access based on IP address

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because MAB (MAC Authentication Bypass) grants network access based on the MAC address of a device. Options A and D are incorrect as they pertain to user and IP address authentication, which are not aspects of MAB. Option B is misleading since MAB does not allow devices to bypass authentication; rather, it uses the MAC address for access control.
