You have configured 802.1X and MAC authentication in an office environment. During testing, you noticed that devices that don't support 802.1X take a few minutes to receive an IP address. What can…
The correct answer is C. Configure auth-precedence to MAC, then 802.1X authentication. Configuring authentication precedence to MAC first ensures that devices not supporting 802.1X are authenticated via MAC quickly, reducing IP acquisition delays while maintaining security for 802.1X-capable devices.
