Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Switch classifies endpoint and assigns SGT
The correct order for TrustSec SGT classification and enforcement begins with the switch classifying the endpoint and assigning an SGT (A). The ingress switch then tags the packet with that SGT (B). The packet is forwarded with the SGT in the header (C). On the egress switch, the SGT is looked up in the SGACL (D), and finally the switch permits or denies the traffic based on the SGACL (E).
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Switch classifies endpoint and assigns SGT
Why this is correct
Classification and assignment of SGT must occur first, as it determines the security group for the endpoint.
- ✓
Ingress switch tags packet with SGT
Why this is correct
Tagging the packet with the SGT happens after classification, so that the SGT is embedded in the packet.
- ✓
Packet forwarded with SGT in header
Why this is correct
Forwarding with the SGT in the header follows tagging, as the packet traverses the network.
- ✓
Egress switch looks up SGT in SGACL
Why this is correct
The egress switch looks up the SGT in the SGACL to determine access permissions.
- ✓
Egress switch permits or denies traffic
Why this is correct
Finally, the egress switch enforces the policy by permitting or denying the traffic.
