Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Endpoint authenticates via 802.1X or MAB
The flow starts with endpoint authentication via 802.1X/MAB, then ISE collects profiling data (e.g., DHCP, HTTP). ISE matches the endpoint to a profiling policy, assigns an identity group, and finally applies the appropriate authorization policy (e.g., SGT, VLAN).

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.
