iMaster NCE-Campus Authentication and Authorization Configuration
Short answer
B An authentication result object does not need to be configured because iMaster NCE-Campus uses authentication rules, authorization rules, and authorization results.
Question
Key Takeaways
The trap lies in assuming symmetric configuration objects for both authentication and authorization; only authorization has explicit 'result' configurations in this vendor's implementation.
Identify the configuration element not required during virtual network deployment on iMaster NCE-Campus by understanding the AAA model's structure.
Common mistake: Candidates often select Option D (Authorization rule) believing it is implicit, but authorization rules are critical for defining permissions like VLANs, whereas 'authentication result' is simply not a configurable entity.
Expert Analysis
The question asks which component is not configured when setting up authentication and authorization for virtual networks on iMaster NCE-Campus. The key constraint is the word 'not', requiring the identification of the invalid configuration object.
In iMaster NCE-Campus, the AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) process involves specific configurable entities:
- Authentication Rule: Defines criteria to match users or devices for authentication.
- Authorization Rule: Defines actions or attributes (like VLAN assignment) granted upon successful authentication.
- Authorization Result: Often refers to the specific policy outcome or mapping applied to the user session based on the authorization rule.
However, there is no distinct configuration entity called an Authentication Result. Authentication itself is a binary state (pass/fail) or identity verification step; it does not have a separate 'result' object that administrators configure in the same way as authorization policies. Instead, the system processes the authentication request against the authentication rule and proceeds to authorization if successful. Therefore, configuring an 'Authentication result' is redundant and technically incorrect in this context.
Option B is the correct answer because it represents a non-existent or unnecessary configuration step compared to the standard AAA workflow components (Rules and Results/Attributes).
Exam Strategy
When analyzing AAA configuration questions, distinguish between the process (authentication vs authorization) and the configurable objects. Remember that authentication typically validates identity via rules, while authorization grants access via rules and resulting attributes. Look for options that duplicate the concept of a 'result' for a process that ends in a simple pass/fail decision.
