QuestionQ1391

Network Access

Which threat-mitigation technique at the access layer provides security based on identity?

  • A Dynamic ARP Inspection
  • B DHCP snooping
  • C 802.1x
  • D using a non-default native VLAN
Explanation

IEEE 802.1X provides identity-based network access control by requiring authentication of the endpoint or user before allowing normal access through a switch port. The other options mitigate specific Layer 2 threats or harden VLAN configuration, but they do not make access decisions based on authenticated identity.
