A.
The supplicant will fail to advance beyond the webauth method.

B.
The switch will cycle through the configured authentication methods indefinitely.

C.
The authentication attempt will time out and the switch will place the port into the unauthorized state.

D.
The authentication attempt will time out and the switch will place the port into VLAN 101.

Explanation:
BD
Flexible authentication (FlexAuth) is a set of features that allows IT administrators to configure the sequence
and priority of IEEE 802.1X, MAC authentication bypass (MAB), and switch-based web authentication (local
WebAuth).
Case 2: Order MAB Dot1x and Priority Dot1x MAB
If you change the order so that MAB comes before IEEE 802.1X authentication and change the default priority
so that IEEE 802.1X authentication precedes MAB, then every device in the network will still be subject to MAB,
but devices that pass MAB can subsequently go through IEEE 802.1X authentication.
Special consideration must be paid to what happens if a device fails IEEE 802.1X authentication after
successful MAB. First, the device will have temporary network access between the time MAB succeeds and
IEEE 802.1X authentication fails. What happens next depends on the configured event-fail behavior.
If next-method is configured and a third authentication method (such as WebAuth) is not enabled, then the
switch will return to the first method (MAB) after the held period. MAB will succeed, and the device will again
have temporary access until and unless the supplicant tries to authenticate again.
If next-method failure handling and local WebAuth are both configured after IEEE 802.1X authentication fails,
local WebAuth ignores EAPoL-Start commands from the supplicant.
