Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 503

Which action configures the iEEE 802.1X Flexible Authentication feature to support Layer 3 authentication mechanisms?

Answer options

• A. Modify the Dot1x configuration on the VPN server to send Layer 3 authentications to an external authentication database.
• B. Identify the devices using this feature and create a policy that allows them to pass Layer 2 authentication.
• C. Add MAB into the switch to allow redirection to a Layer 3 device for authentication.
• D. Configure WebAuth so the hosts are redirected to a web page for authentication.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because WebAuth allows devices to be redirected to a web page for authentication, which is a Layer 3 mechanism. Options A, B, and C do not involve redirecting to a web page and instead focus on Layer 2 authentication or other configurations that do not achieve the required Layer 3 support.
