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

✓

Enable User-ID on interface, then configure the User-ID agent, then map users, then create security policies, then verify

User-ID setup involves enabling on interface, configuring agent, mapping users, creating policies, and verification.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✓

    Enable User-ID on interface, then configure the User-ID agent, then map users, then create security policies, then verify

    Why this is correct

    This is the correct order because User-ID must be enabled on the interface before the agent can communicate, mapping requires the agent configuration, policies depend on user mapping, and verification confirms functionality.

  • ✗

    Configure the User-ID agent, then enable User-ID on interface, then map users, then create security policies, then verify

    Why it's wrong here

    This is incorrect because the agent configuration cannot succeed if User-ID is not yet enabled on the interface; enabling must come first.

  • ✗

    Enable User-ID on interface, then create security policies, then configure the User-ID agent, then map users, then verify

    Why it's wrong here

    This is incorrect because security policies that use user-based rules require user mapping to be completed first; mapping must come before policy creation.

  • ✗

    Map users, then enable User-ID on interface, then configure the User-ID agent, then create security policies, then verify

    Why it's wrong here

    This is incorrect because user mapping depends on the agent being configured and the interface enabled; mapping should occur after agent setup.
