Question

A government-organization customer has strict security requirements. They want to extend their Layer 2 infrastructure across multiple buildings in the same campus environment and ensure that no unauthorized devices connect between switches in different buildings.

Which solution provides data security for this environment?

A Use PNAC on all inter-switch connections.
B Use LLDP on all inter-switch connections.
C Use LACP on all inter-switch connections.
D Use MACsec on all inter-switch connections.

Explanation

MACsec provides IEEE 802.1AE hop-by-hop Layer 2 protection on Ethernet links, delivering confidentiality, integrity, and data-origin authentication for inter-switch traffic. It is therefore suited to securing campus Layer 2 connections between buildings and ensuring that only authenticated peers can establish protected communications.
