CCNP SWITCH (Version 6.0) Chapter 6 Exam Answers 4

  • forces all hosts that are attached to a port to authenticate before being allowed access to the network

  • enables 802.1x authentication on the port
  • globally disables 802.1x authentication

10. Refer to the exhibit. Network policy dictates that security functions should be administered using AAA. Which configuration would create a default login authentication list that uses RADIUS as the first authentication method, the enable password as the second method, and the local database as the final method?
