Question

Consider a design where a Cisco Catalyst switch that supports Network Edge Access Topology (NEAT) is connected to an upstream switch that requires 802.1X authentication on the switch-to- switch link. What differentiates a Cisco Catalyst switch configured for NEAT from an unmanaged switch connected to the same upstream switch port?

Options

  • ASwitches that support NEAT can be configured with a port in supplicant mode.
  • BSwitches that support NEAT can perform Layer 2 MAC address translation to allow multiple hosts
  • CSwitches that support NEAT can be configured with a port in authenticator mode that supports
  • DSwitches that support NEAT can be configured with a port in authenticator mode that supports
