An HP Provision switch port is implementing MAC Authentication (MAC-Auth) to a RADIUS server. A device
connects to the port, and the switch submits a RADIUS Access-Request to the server. What correctly describes
how the switch determines the username and password for the request?

A.
Depending on the configuration, the switch sends the device MAC address for the username or a
configured username. It sends the device MAC address for the password or a configured password

B.
The switch always sends the device MAC address as the username. It always sends “provision” for the
password, and this password cannot be reconfigured.

C.
The switch always sends the device MAC address as the username. Depending on the configuration, the
password is the device MAC address or a configured password.

D.
The switch always sends the device MAC address as the username and the password, and this behavior
cannot be reconfigured.

Explanation:
Additional Information for Configuring the RADIUS Server To Support MAC Authentication
On the RADIUS server, configure the client device authentication in the same way that you would any other
client, except:
* Configure the client device’s (hexadecimal) MAC address as both username and password.
