Exam 300-430 topic 1 question 226 discussion

Change of Authorization (CoA): This feature allows the network to dynamically change the authorization parameters for a client after the initial authentication. In this scenario: The client initially connects to the onboarding VLAN using IEEE 802.1X authentication. After authentication and profiling, the system determines if the client is a company device and whether it is up-to-date. If the client meets the criteria, a CoA request is sent to the network device (e.g., the WLC or switch) to reassign the client to the corporate VLAN, granting access to all resources.

To meet the specified requirements, the engineer needs to implement a process that involves changing the client's authorization after authentication and profiling. Therefore, the correct choice is: C. Change of Authorization The process involves initially onboarding the client to a specific VLAN using IEEE 802.1X authentication. After successful authentication and profiling, the next step is to determine whether the client is a company device that is up-to-date. Once this determination is made, the client's authorization is changed to allow it to connect to the corporate VLAN and access all resources.
