Which action configures the IEEE 802.

Configuring the IEEE 802.1X Flexible Authentication feature to support Layer 3 authentication mechanisms involves adding MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) into the switch configuration. This allows devices that do not support 802.1X to be authenticated using their MAC address. Once MAB identifies the device, it can then be redirected to a Layer 3 device for further authentication, thus providing a mechanism to support devices requiring Layer 3 authentication methods.
