Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 409

When MAB is configured for use within the 802.1X environment, an administrator must create a policy that allows the devices onto the network. Which information is used for the username and password?

Answer options

• A. The MAB uses the IP address as username and password.
• B. The MAB uses the Call-Station-ID as username and password.
• C. The MAB uses the MAC address as username and password.
• D. Each device must be set manually by the administrator.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because MAB (MAC Authentication Bypass) utilizes the MAC address of the device as both the username and password for authentication. Options A and B are incorrect as they refer to different identifiers that are not used in this context, and option D is not accurate since MAB automates the process using MAC addresses.
