Exam 350-701 topic 1 question 285 discussion

I believe B is correct: MAB allows devices to authenticate to the network using their MAC address instead of a supplicant-based authentication method like 802.1X. By configuring MAB, the network can identify and authenticate the device based on its MAC address. Option D, using MAB with posture assessment, is not the optimal choice because posture assessment typically involves checking the compliance of the device with security policies, which may not be applicable or feasible for all types of devices.

MAB, or MAC Authentication Bypass, is a method of authentication that uses the MAC address of the device to grant access to the network. It is often used for devices that do not support 802.1X authentication, such as printers, scanners, and medical devices.

B. You'll need to do MAB with Static Profiling, Manually putting in the MAC address. Not D since the devices won't be able to do a posture assessment

B is correct

why B is correct ?

I'd go with D. What must be done in order to securely connect this device to the network? The key here is Securely, this can only be done with posture assessment, because with posture you asset if the client is compliant with latest updates,... While answer B only segregates devices by their attributes ( phones, other devices)
