Cisco SaaS Application Security Specialist — Question 1

By default, which traffic does an 802.IX-enabled switch allow before authentication?

Answer options

• A. alltraffic
• B. no traffic
• C. trafficpermittedin the port dACL on Cisco ISE
• D. traffic permitted in the default ACL on the switch

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because, by default, an 802.1X-enabled switch allows traffic that is specified in the default Access Control List (ACL) on the switch. Option A is incorrect as it suggests all traffic is allowed, which is not true. Option B is also wrong since it states no traffic is allowed, and option C is incorrect because it refers to the port dACL on Cisco ISE, which is not the default behavior.
