B and D, definitely. 802.1X is like the bouncer at the club - it's either 'you're in' or 'get lost'.

I'm going with B and C. Gotta love that local user database - it's like a secret club for network devices!

I think B is correct, security policy is key for 802.1X authentication.

I'm not sure about statement C, but I think statement D is false because not all devices may support 802.1X authentication.

I think A and B are the right answers. Why do we even need authentication on a switch port anyway? It's not like anyone's going to hack into my toaster.

B and D seem correct. Who needs a security policy when you can just force everyone to use 802.1X? Talk about overkill.

I agree with you, Jaime. I also believe statement B is true because a security policy is usually used to enforce authentication on ports.

I think statement A is true because it makes sense for all hosts to be allowed access after authentication.
