Question 190
A network identity engineer receives the following requirement: An unregistered camera gains the same role as a trusted printer by cloning its MAC, and engineers argue MAB alone proves hardware identity. Which change is justified by the observed evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Reduce the MAB role to least privilege and supplement admission with profiling, port context, or stronger supported controls where feasible. This is appropriate because a MAC address can be spoofed, so a matching MAB record is not cryptographic proof of the physical endpoint. It should be verified by this evidence: A forged address lacks access to sensitive destinations even when it can mimic the printer's MAC identity.
Incorrect Answers
Reduce the MAB role to least privilege and supplement admission with profiling, port context, or stronger supported controls where feasible. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Replace the catch-all MAB authorization with an explicit known-endpoint group and a deny or isolation result for unknown MACs. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
Reduce the MAB role to least privilege and supplement admission with profiling, port context, or stronger supported controls where feasible. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Use a supported session reauthentication or RADIUS CoA after the endpoint identity and profile classification change. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
Reduce the MAB role to least privilege and supplement admission with profiling, port context, or stronger supported controls where feasible. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Verify RADIUS source interfaces after controller failover, redundancy, or interface changes. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
