Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
RADIUS Server (Authentication and Accounting)
Why this is correct
RADIUS can be utilized for user authentication and session mapping.
- ✓
Captive Portal for active web authentication
Why this is correct
Captive portal provides active authentication prompting.
- ✗
Syslog server log scraping without agent integration
Why it's wrong here
FMC relies on structured Active Directory integration, ISE, or agent feeds rather than raw arbitrary syslog scraping.
- ✓
Active Directory via AD Agent or Cisco ISE (Passive Authentication)
Why this is correct
Active Directory integration via ISE or AD Agent is a primary passive identity source.
- ✗
Local SNMP MIB walk queries
Why it's wrong here
SNMP is used for monitoring and management, not user identity mapping.
Quick reference
AAA Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Port(s) | Encryption | Transport | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RADIUS | 1812 / 1813 | Password only | UDP | Network access control |
| TACACS+ | 49 | Full packet | TCP | Device administration |
| Diameter | 3868 | Full session | TCP / SCTP | Carrier / mobile networks |
| 802.1X | — | EAP-based | Layer 2 | Port-based access control |
TACACS+ encrypts the entire packet; RADIUS only encrypts the password field — a key exam distinction.
