Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 241

A network engineer has been tasked with adding a new medical device to the network. Cisco ISE is being used as the NAC server, and the new device does not have a supplicant available. What must be done in order to securely connect this device to the network?

Answer options

• A. Use 802.1X with posture assessment.
• B. Use MAB with profiling.
• C. Use 802.1X with profiling.
• D. Use MAB with posture assessment.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as MAB (MAC Authentication Bypass) is suitable for devices that do not support 802.1X, allowing them to be authenticated based on their MAC address. The other options involve 802.1X, which requires a supplicant, making them unsuitable for this scenario.
