ExplanationExplanationCisco standard NetFlow version 5 defines a flow as a unidirectional sequence of packets that all share seven values which define a unique key for the flow:+ Ingress interface (SNMP ifIndex)+ Source IP address+ Destination IP address+ IP protocol+ Source port for UDP or TCP, 0 for other protocols+ Destination port for UDP or TCP, type and code for ICMP, or 0 for other protocols+ IP Type of ServiceNote: A flow is a unidirectional series of packets between a given source and destination.

In order to send web traffic transparently to the Web Security Appliance (WSA), the system administrator can use one of these two methods:

• Policy-based routing (PBR) on the network infrastructure: This method allows the administrator to define routing policies based on the source or destination IP address, port number, protocol, or other criteria of the web traffic. The administrator can then apply these policies to the network interfaces or subinterfaces and redirect the matching traffic to the WSA. This method does not require any configuration on the client side and can be applied to any type of web traffic, including HTTPS and FTP. However, this method may require additional network resources and maintenance, as well as coordination with other network administrators.
• Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) on the WSA and the network device: This method allows the administrator to configure the WSA and the network device (such as a router, switch, or firewall) to communicate with each other using WCCP, a Cisco proprietary protocol. The network device acts as a WCCP router and redirects the web traffic to the WSA, which acts as a WCCP client. The WSA then processes the traffic and returns it to the network device, which forwards it to the original destination. This method does not require any configuration on the client side and can be applied to HTTP, HTTPS, and native FTP traffic. However, this method requires that the network device supports WCCP and that the WSA and the network device are in the same Layer 2 domain.

Wired 802.1X authentication is a port-based network access control that uses the physical characteristics of the switched LAN infrastructure to authenticate devices attached to a LAN port1. Wired 802.1X authentication requires three components: a supplicant, an authenticator, and an authentication server2. The supplicant is the client device that requests access to the network. The authenticator is the switch port that controls the access to the network based on the authentication result. The authentication server is the server that validates the credentials of the supplicant and sends the authentication result to the authenticator3.

In this question, option A is correct because Cisco Identity Service Engine (ISE) is an example of an authentication server that supports wired 802.1X authentication4. Option C is correct because Cisco Catalyst switch is an example of an authenticator that supports wired 802.1X authentication5. Option B is incorrect because Cisco AnyConnect ISE Posture module is not a supplicant, but a software component that checks the compliance status of the supplicant. Option D is incorrect because Cisco ISE is not an authenticator, but an authentication server. Option E is incorrect because Cisco Prime Infrastructure is not an authentication server, but a network management tool.
