A police records bureau needs one authenticated IP phone plus an attached PC on desk drops, but open conference rooms must allow several devices after the first success. Which 802.1X host-mode pairing fits those layouts?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Desk phones with a PC behind them need a mode that understands voice and data domains—or multi-auth with a voice lane—while a conference table is a parking lot of laptops. Multi-domain/multi-auth for desks and multi-auth for rooms matches how people actually plug in.
Full Explanation
Cisco 802.1X host modes must match endpoint topology. Single-host allows one MAC; multi-domain commonly separates voice and data on phone+PC drops; multi-auth permits multiple authenticated sessions—useful in conference rooms. Using single-host everywhere breaks phone+PC or multi-device rooms. Closed/open/fail behaviors are separate from host-mode selection and should not substitute for the correct mode.
