In a ClearPass CoA workflow, which step is essential on the switch to enable dynamic authorization?

• A. Confirm that NTP is configured on the switch and ClearPass
• B. Configure dynamic authorization on the switch
• C. Bounce the Segmentation
• D. Use Dynamic Segmentation

Answer: (B)

Dynamic authorization is what allows ClearPass to push changes to a connected device without forcing a new login. When a CoA (Change of Authorization) message is sent, the switch must be ready to receive and apply that message to the port’s authorization state. Enabling dynamic authorization on the switch ensures it can process CoA requests from ClearPass and enforce the updated attributes, such as moving the endpoint to a different VLAN or applying a new ACL. Without this capability, CoA messages would be ignored, and the dynamic policy changes wouldn’t take effect. The other options don’t enable this essential pathway for real-time policy updates.
