Which of the following authentication methods can the user information synchronized by the Agile Controller be used for? (Multiple choice)

Question

Options

• APortal authentication
• B802.1x authentication
• CAgile Controller login authentication
• DMAC bypass authentication

• A
  69% (22)
• C
  22% (7)
• D
  9% (3)

Explanation

User information synchronized by the Agile Controller - typically pulled from directories like Active Directory or LDAP - represents network user accounts and credentials. Portal authentication and 802.1x authentication both rely on validating these user identities at the network access layer, which is exactly the purpose this synchronized data serves.

Option C is wrong because Agile Controller login authentication refers to administrators logging into the Agile Controller management platform itself, not to network users being authenticated using synchronized data - it is a separate credential context. Option D is wrong because MAC bypass (MAB) authenticates devices by their MAC address, not by user account information, so synchronized user records play no role in that process.

Memory tip: Focus on what is being authenticated - a person using a username and password against a network. Portal and 802.1x both fit that profile, while MAC bypass authenticates hardware and Agile Controller login authenticates admins to a tool.
