Selected Answers: A


A is correct.

You can also place devices that try to authenticate through 802.1X but fail in the VLAN selected as Authentication fail VLAN.

The port is using 802.1X port-based authentication with a defined Authentication fail VLAN, which is explicitly set to quarantine.fortilink (quarantine). When a user repeatedly enters the wrong credentials, authentication fails. A failed 802.1X authentication does not shut the port down; instead, the device is moved into the authentication fail VLAN if one is configured.
