802.1X Service Rules:

Service rules define the criteria for when a specific service applies (e.g., wireless vs. wired authentication).

For wired 802.1X authentication to work properly, the service rules need to differentiate between wireless and wired connections.

If you copy the wireless service, the rules likely still match wireless-specific criteria. These must be updated to include wired-specific conditions (e.g., NAS IP or port types).

Option Analysis:

Option A (Role mapping policy): Role mapping policies determine user roles based on attributes but are not critical for differentiating wired vs. wireless.

Option B (Authentication methods): Authentication methods (e.g., EAP) remain the same for both wireless and wired 802.1X.

Option C (Authentication source): Authentication sources (like AD or internal database) do not need to change.

Option D (Service rules): Correct. Updating the service rules ensures the new 802.1X service applies specifically to wired connections.
