Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

802.1AE, also known as MACsec, provides secure communication on Ethernet links by encrypting and authenticating frames. This prevents unauthorized access to the network and protects against attacks such as spoofing and eavesdropping. It is commonly used in conjunction with other security measures such as VLANs and 802.1X. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for managing and monitoring network devices, not for preventing unauthorized access to switches. VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) are used to segment networks, but they do not provide security on their own. 802.1X is a network access control protocol used for authentication, but it does not provide the same level of security as MACsec.
