Explanation

{"question_number": 2, "question": "An administrator connects an HP printer to a dot1x enabled port, but the printer is not accessible. Which feature must the administrator enable to access the printer?", "correct_answer": "A", "explanation": "MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) is the correct answer. Printers, IP phones, and other 'dumb' devices typically do not have an 802.1X supplicant and cannot participate in EAP-based authentication. MAB allows these devices to authenticate using their MAC address instead of EAP credentials. When a device fails 802.1X, MAB falls back to checking the device's MAC address against RADIUS, allowing non-supplicant devices like printers to gain network access without full 802.1X support.", "generated_by": "claude-sonnet", "llm_judge_score": 4}
