An organization is deploying a network access security policy for end point devices to access the campus network. The IT department has configured multiple network access control mechanisms, such as 802.1x, WebAuth, and MAB. WebAuth and MAB are configured as fallbacks to 802.1x. What is the authentication process when an employee brings a laptop and connects to a switch on the network?

• The switch will initiate authentication by WebAuth protocol. If it fails, the switch will try 802.1x next, then MAB.
• The switch will initiate authentication by 802.1x protocol. If it fails, the switch will try WebAuth next, then MAB.
• The switch will initiate authentication by 802.1x protocol. If it fails, the switch will try MAB next, then WebAuth.
• The switch will initiate authentication by MAB protocol. If it fails, the switch will try 802.1x next, then WebAuth.

Explanation: When an organization deploys network access control, MAB and WebAuth can be used as a fallback authentication mechanism for 802.1x. If both MAB and WebAuth are configured as fallbacks for 802.1x, when 802.1x times out, a switch first attempts to authenticate through MAB, and if it fails, the switch attempts to authenticate with WebAuth.
