That's true, but MAB is often used for devices that don't have supplicants like printers.

But wouldn't it be more secure to use 802.1X authentication?

Wait, do printers even have supplicants? I feel like I need to dust off my networking textbooks before attempting this one. Maybe I should just go with the 'phone a friend' lifeline.

Printers these days are getting pretty smart, you know? Maybe option E is the way to go, with web authentication. Gotta keep up with the times!

Hold up, does ISE even authenticate printers? I mean, they're not exactly the same as laptops or phones, you know? Option D might be the way to go here.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. I was thinking B might be the better choice, since MAC RADIUS seems like it would work for a device without 802.1X capabilities.
