A building permits desk onboards wired PCs into SD-Access so each authenticates into the correct virtual network based on identity and port assignment. What is the essential onboarding outcome?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Wired onboarding is the fabric’s greeter: who are you, which badge group, which VN lobby do you belong in? Identity plus port/pool policy drops the PC onto the right overlay segment. It’s not “give everyone the underlay loopback and hope.”
Full Explanation
Fabric host onboarding uses authentication/authorization results, IP pools, and port assignments so endpoints are associated with the correct virtual network and scalable policy inside SD-Access. The outcome is overlay participation with fabric-aware forwarding, not confinement to underlay-only addressing. User-selected border types or multicast RP statics are unrelated to the core wired onboarding decision path.
