Correct answer & explanation
✓
Client establishes TLS/DTLS tunnel to ASA
The AnyConnect client first establishes a TLS/DTLS tunnel to the ASA headend. The ASA then authenticates the user via AAA. After authentication, the ASA pushes client configuration and assigns an IP address from a pool. The client installs the virtual adapter with the assigned IP. Finally, the client can send encrypted traffic through the tunnel.
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.
