A city clerk’s office is expanding SD-Access and must onboard badge-authenticated wired PCs first. Which blueprint check best confirms the wired host-onboarding path before wireless expansion?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Before you invite Wi-Fi to the party, make sure the wired story works: who are you (identity), which port did you plug into, and which VN do you belong in? That triad is wired host onboarding in the fabric blueprint. Nail it for badge PCs, then extend the same policy ideas to wireless.
Full Explanation
Wired host onboarding in SD-Access ties authentication/authorization (commonly ISE with 802.1X/MAB), the fabric edge port, and Virtual Network assignment together so the endpoint receives the correct overlay segment and SGT context. Validating that path in the blueprint reduces cutover risk. Mapping MACs into the underlay IGP or misusing WLC/transit CP constructs bypasses the intended onboarding model.
