Question 470
A campus and branch network operator reports: A mobile phone supports native supplicant provisioning, but staff manually place its MAC in a permanent whitelist and claim this fulfills the BYOD enrollment requirement. Which postchange outcome demonstrates correct implementation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The phone completes guided enrollment and uses the required EAP-TLS connection without relying on an employee-wide MAC whitelist. The required remediation is: Direct the supported mobile device through the approved BYOD portal and native supplicant or certificate-provisioning process. It works because registering a MAC for MAB is not the same as provisioning a strong 802.1X supplicant identity and a tracked personal device registration.
Incorrect Answers

The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: a registered tablet receives the BYOD role, while a managed laptop obtains its distinct corporate authorization. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
The phone completes guided enrollment and uses the required EAP-TLS connection without relying on an employee-wide MAC whitelist. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Test every BYOD state transition with the actual wireless or wired access device. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
