Choosing the right answer is like playing a game of 'Guess the Password' with the RADIUS server. Hope you've got your hacking skills ready!

Option A is clearly wrong. The FortiSwitch can't just grant connectivity to all hosts if one host is authenticated. That would defeat the whole purpose of having a security profile.

So, it seems like the correct answer is either B or D for 802.1X security profiles using MAC-based authentication mode.

Yes, that's true. Option A definitely doesn't make sense for a security profile.

But doesn't option D mention that FortiSwitch needs to communicate with the RADIUS server for authentication?

I think option B is the correct statement. Each device can have a different access level.

Option C seems a bit suspicious to me. I don't think the FortiSwitch would perform faster just because it's using MAC-based authentication. That's probably just a trick question.

I'm not sure, but I think the answer might be A. FortiSwitch allows connectivity to all hosts if one is authenticated.

I think Option B is the right choice. The FortiSwitch should be able to grant different access levels based on the credentials provided by each device.

I think Option D is also important because the FortiSwitch needs to communicate with the RADIUS server for authentication.

Option D is definitely the correct answer. The FortiSwitch needs to communicate with the RADIUS server to authenticate devices using MAC-based authentication.
