Question 374

The administrator profile "SYS01 Admin" is configured with authentication profile "Authentication Sequence SYS01," and the authentication sequence SYS01 has a profile list with four authentication profiles:

• Auth Profile LDAP

• Auth Profile Radius

• Auth Profile Local

• Auth Profile TACACS

After a network outage, the LDAP server is no longer reachable. The RADIUS server is still reachable but has lost the "SYS01 Admin" username and password.

What is the "SYS01 Admin" login capability after the outage?

    Correct Answer: C

    The authentication sequence SYS01 includes multiple authentication profiles and is designed to try each profile in the specified order until one succeeds or all fail. Given the LDAP server is unreachable, the sequence will continue to the next profile. Although the RADIUS server is reachable, it does not have the SYS01 Admin credentials. The next profile, Local, should be used for authentication, allowing the SYS01 Admin to still log in successfully. Therefore, the login will be successful due to the Auth Profile Local.
