Question

A client with MAC address 04:77:10:14:67:AB connects to the network. The client does not support 802.1X. Which setting must be enabled in the Allowed Authentication Protocols list in your Authentication Policy for Cisco ISE Server to support MAB authentication for this MAC address?

Options

  • AProcess Host Lookup
  • BEAP-FAST
  • CEAP-TTLS
  • DMS-CHAPv2

Why each option

For Cisco ISE to support MAB (MAC Authentication Bypass) for clients that do not support 802.1X, "Process Host Lookup" must be enabled in the Authentication Policy's Allowed Authentication Protocols.

AProcess Host LookupCorrect

"Process Host Lookup" must be enabled in the Allowed Authentication Protocols list to allow Cisco ISE to perform a MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) lookup for endpoints that do not support 802.1X, using the client's MAC address as the identity.

BEAP-FAST

EAP-FAST is an EAP method used for 802.1X authentication, which the client explicitly does not support.

CEAP-TTLS

EAP-TTLS is an EAP method used for 802.1X authentication, which the client explicitly does not support.

DMS-CHAPv2

MS-CHAPv2 is an authentication protocol often used within EAP methods or for legacy authentication, but it is not the specific setting for enabling MAB lookup itself.
