Fortinet Exam NSE7_LED-7.0 Topic 3 Question 34 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE7_LED-7.0 exam
Question #: 34
Topic #: 3
[All NSE7_LED-7.0 Questions]

Refer to the exhibit.

Examine the network diagram and packet capture shown in the exhibit

The packet capture was taken between FortiGate and FortiAuthenticator and shows a RADIUS Access-Request packet sent by FortiSwitch to FortiAuthenticator through FortiGate

Why does the User-Name attribute in the RADIUS Access-Request packet contain the client MAC address?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C, D

According to the FortiManager Administration Guide, ''Central management mode allows you to manage all FortiSwitch devices from a single interface on the FortiManager device.'' Therefore, option C is true because the exhibit shows that the FortiSwitch manager is enabled and the FortiSwitch device is managed by the FortiManager device. Option D is also true because the exhibit shows that the FortiSwitch device status is offline, which means that it is not reachable by the FortiManager device, but it is authorized, which means that it has been added to the FortiManager device. Option A is false because per-device management mode allows you to manage each FortiSwitch device individually from its own web-based manager or CLI, which is not the case in the exhibit. Option B is false because the FortiSwitch device is authorized, as explained above.

B) FortiSwitch is authenticating the client using MAC authentication bypass - the only answer that makes sense given the evidence. Unless the client is a talking refrigerator, of course.

It's definitely a unique way to authenticate clients, but it seems to be working in this case.

That makes sense, FortiSwitch must be authenticating the client based on the MAC address.

I think the User-Name attribute contains the client MAC address because FortiSwitch is using MAC authentication bypass.

D) FortiSwitch is sending a RADIUS accounting message? Nice try, but the question clearly states it's an Access-Request, not an Accounting-Request.

A) The client is performing AD machine authentication? Nah, the MAC address in the User-Name gives it away, it's gotta be option B.

Yeah, the MAC address in the User-Name attribute is a clear indicator of that.

C) The client is performing user authentication? I don't think so, the packet is from the switch, not the client.

I agree with Mitsue. The MAC address is used for authentication in this case.
