Non-AAA enforcement (often called Web-based authentication or MAC-based profiling without 802.1X) is chosen for ease of deployment. 802.1X is highly secure but requires a 'Supplicant' (software) configuration on every client device. By using a non-AAA method, the engineer can secure the network using the device's MAC address and a redirect to a web portal, which works on any device with a browser without needing to touch the client's internal network settings.
