300-730 · Question #140
A router is being configured for IKEv2 AnyConnect using AnyConnect-EAP. How would the administrator separate profiles for administrators and employees so that authorization differs when they connect?
The correct answer is D. Define key-ids on the headend and create two XML profiles to match the administrator and user key-ids. When using AnyConnect-EAP with IKEv2, key-ids are the mechanism used to differentiate between connection profiles so different authorization policies can be applied per group.

Why each option
When using AnyConnect-EAP with IKEv2, key-ids are the mechanism used to differentiate between connection profiles so different authorization policies can be applied per group.
Group aliases are a feature specific to Cisco ASA SSLVPN tunnel groups, not a supported mechanism for IKEv2 AnyConnect-EAP profile selection on IOS routers.
Group-URLs are used in ASA clientless and AnyConnect SSLVPN configurations to select tunnel groups, and are not applicable to IKEv2-based AnyConnect deployments on IOS.
Certificate maps apply when clients authenticate with certificates; since AnyConnect-EAP is being used for authentication in this scenario, certificate fields are not available for profile matching.
IKEv2 with AnyConnect-EAP uses key-ids as identifiers embedded in the IKEv2 IDr payload to distinguish which profile a client is using. By defining separate key-ids on the headend and creating two different AnyConnect XML profiles - each referencing the appropriate key-id - the router can apply distinct authorization policies for administrators versus employees. This is the correct method when certificate-based differentiation is not available because EAP is handling authentication.
