Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks for System Engineers — Question 6

How would Cisco ISE handle authentication for your printer that does not have a supplicant?

Answer options

• A. ISE would not authenticate the printer as printers are not subject to ISE authentication.
• B. ISE would authenticate the printer using 802.1X authentication.
• C. ISE would authenticate the printer using MAB.
• D. ISE would authenticate the printer using web authentication.
• E. ISE would authenticate the printer using MAC RADIUS authentication.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) is specifically designed for devices like printers that do not support 802.1X authentication. Option A is incorrect because ISE can still authenticate devices without a supplicant using MAB. Options B, D, and E are also incorrect since they refer to authentication methods not applicable to a printer without a supplicant.
