Answers
C.
It cannot be used in conjunction with MAC authentication bypass
D.
FortiSwitch can grant different access levels to each device connected to the port
Answers
D.
FortiSwitch can grant different access levels to each device connected to the port
Suggested answer: B, D

Explanation:

According to the FortiSwitch Administration Guide, ''MAC-based 802.1X security mode allows you to authenticate each device connected to a port using its MAC address as the username and password.'' Therefore, option B is true because it describes the MAC-based 802.1X security mode available on FortiSwitch. Option D is also true because FortiSwitch can grant different access levels to each device connected to the port based on the user group and security policy assigned to them. Option A is false because FortiSwitch does not authenticate a single device and open the port to other devices connected to the port, but rather authenticates each device individually. Option C is false because MAC-based 802.1X security mode can be used in conjunction with MAC authentication bypass (MAB) or EAP pass-through modes, which are fallback options for non-802.1X devices.
