A Dell switch port connects to a printer that has a static IP address. The security policy requires that only this specific printer can use the port. The printer does not support 802.1X. Which security feature should be configured on the port to enforce this policy?

802.1X authentication with the printer's MAC address as the identity.

An ACL that permits only the printer's IP address on the port.

Disable the port and use a different port for the printer.

Port security with a static MAC address entry for the printer.

What is the primary goal of role-based access control (RBAC) on a network switch?

To encrypt all management traffic between the switch and the user.

To provide a backup of the switch configuration.

To automatically block all users who are not on the network.

To assign users to roles that have only the permissions needed for their job functions.

A small business has a single Dell switch and no central authentication server. The administrator wants to allow two users to manage the switch, one with full privileges and one with read-only privileges. The administrator also wants to ensure that if the switch is rebooted, the accounts remain available. Which authentication method should be used?

Enable SNMPv3 with different users for read and write access.

Configure local user accounts on the switch with different privilege levels.

Use 802.1X to authenticate the users before they access the switch.

Configure RADIUS authentication with a cloud-based server.
