Question 550
An access controller accepts a staff user from RADIUS but assigns the guest role because the expected role attribute is absent. Which result would best establish that the correction succeeded?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is an operational test of the required outcome rather than merely proof a setting exists. It checks that successful authentication alone does not guarantee the intended network authorization attributes no longer prevents the service.
Incorrect Answers
This result may validate another network change, but it does not demonstrate recovery from the fault here: successful authentication alone does not guarantee the intended network authorization attributes.
That explanation does not distinguish this option. “After one server failure authentication continues through the surviving distinct endpoint” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.
That explanation does not distinguish this option. “During an AAA outage only approved limited functions continue, and normal authorization resumes afterward” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.
