Cisco 300-715 Practice Test 1

Question 1

A Cisco ISE operations team investigates this site issue: A three-campus deployment combines the policy administration function and every access request on one node; policy edits during a scheduled restart interrupt all 802.1X sessions. Which administrative action BEST addresses this specific situation?

  1. Provide redundant reachable PSNs in the network device's RADIUS server group and test failure detection and fallback.
  2. Restore a supported Monitoring persona deployment and the forwarding path for PSN operational logs.
  3. Choose a Cisco-supported virtual-appliance sizing profile and allocate its specified CPU, RAM, disk, and network resources.
  4. Separate central Policy Administration Node responsibilities from appropriate Policy Service Nodes, and distribute RADIUS requests to healthy PSNs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Separate central Policy Administration Node responsibilities from appropriate Policy Service Nodes, and distribute RADIUS requests to healthy PSNs. This is appropriate because the PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. It should be verified by this evidence: During a PAN maintenance test, already provisioned PSNs continue making permitted RADIUS decisions using their synchronized policy.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: the PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. The needed response is: Separate central Policy Administration Node responsibilities from appropriate Policy Service Nodes, and distribute RADIUS requests to healthy PSNs.

B:

The Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: the PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. The needed response is: Separate central Policy Administration Node responsibilities from appropriate Policy Service Nodes, and distribute RADIUS requests to healthy PSNs.

C:

A permitted test-policy update reaches all registered nodes in the defined deployment and not unrelated standalone installations. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: the PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. The needed response is: Separate central Policy Administration Node responsibilities from appropriate Policy Service Nodes, and distribute RADIUS requests to healthy PSNs.

Question 2

At a distributed Cisco ISE deployment, a security review finds: A three-campus deployment combines the policy administration function and every access request on one node; policy edits during a scheduled restart interrupt all 802.1X sessions. Which architectural fact determines the appropriate fix?

  1. The PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point.
  2. Multiple PSNs provide authentication-service resilience only when the network access device has a valid way to select a surviving server.
  3. pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging.
  4. A standalone node can provide Administration, Policy Service, and Monitoring personas for limited environments; scale and resilience drive distributed designs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. This behavior directly governs the stated requirement. The recommended action is: Separate central Policy Administration Node responsibilities from appropriate Policy Service Nodes, and distribute RADIUS requests to healthy PSNs. The acceptance result is: During a PAN maintenance test, already provisioned PSNs continue making permitted RADIUS decisions using their synchronized policy.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: a test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.

C:

The PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.

D:

The PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: one laboratory node manages policy, answers test RADIUS requests, and records corresponding live logs. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.

Question 3

An ISE administrator troubleshoots the following: A three-campus deployment combines the policy administration function and every access request on one node; policy edits during a scheduled restart interrupt all 802.1X sessions. Which postchange outcome demonstrates correct implementation?

  1. A test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable.
  2. An authorized subscriber establishes its pxGrid session and receives the expected endpoint-context updates without access to ISE administration.
  3. The VM meets the documented profile and representative authentication load remains within agreed latency and resource thresholds.
  4. During a PAN maintenance test, already provisioned PSNs continue making permitted RADIUS decisions using their synchronized policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

During a PAN maintenance test, already provisioned PSNs continue making permitted RADIUS decisions using their synchronized policy. The required remediation is: Separate central Policy Administration Node responsibilities from appropriate Policy Service Nodes, and distribute RADIUS requests to healthy PSNs. It works because the PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. In the case being tested, the PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. The necessary acceptance evidence is: During a PAN maintenance test, already provisioned PSNs continue making permitted RADIUS decisions using their synchronized policy.

B:

pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. In the case being tested, the PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. The necessary acceptance evidence is: During a PAN maintenance test, already provisioned PSNs continue making permitted RADIUS decisions using their synchronized policy.

C:

The VM meets the documented profile and representative authentication load remains within agreed latency and resource thresholds. In the case being tested, the PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. The necessary acceptance evidence is: During a PAN maintenance test, already provisioned PSNs continue making permitted RADIUS decisions using their synchronized policy.

Question 4

An access-security change request states: A three-campus deployment combines the policy administration function and every access request on one node; policy edits during a scheduled restart interrupt all 802.1X sessions. What should be added to the maintenance or security review?

  1. Inventory Monitoring-node health and log-collection paths before retiring ISE nodes.
  2. Keep administrative and runtime persona dependencies documented in node-placement and maintenance reviews.
  3. Validate PSN redundancy and device-side timeout behavior during site commissioning.
  4. Reforecast MnT storage when adding network access devices or extending retention.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Keep administrative and runtime persona dependencies documented in node-placement and maintenance reviews. This control addresses recurrence of the observed failure. The governing behavior is: The PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. The ongoing acceptance check remains: During a PAN maintenance test, already provisioned PSNs continue making permitted RADIUS decisions using their synchronized policy.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The repeat risk here is different: the PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. A directly relevant preventive control is: Keep administrative and runtime persona dependencies documented in node-placement and maintenance reviews.

C:

A test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. The repeat risk here is different: the PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. A directly relevant preventive control is: Keep administrative and runtime persona dependencies documented in node-placement and maintenance reviews.

D:

Monitoring node retains the defined reporting period without disk threshold alerts under a realistic log-rate trial. The repeat risk here is different: the PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. A directly relevant preventive control is: Keep administrative and runtime persona dependencies documented in node-placement and maintenance reviews.

Question 5

An enterprise access-control incident describes: Two remote ISE policy nodes can authenticate users but their RADIUS failures never appear in the central historical reports after the monitoring node was retired. What is the most appropriate next configuration or repair?

  1. Provide redundant reachable PSNs in the network device's RADIUS server group and test failure detection and fallback.
  2. Maintain a defined primary PAN and secondary PAN role, with supported administrative replication and promotion procedures.
  3. Restore a supported Monitoring persona deployment and the forwarding path for PSN operational logs.
  4. Restrict zero-touch provisioning to supported initial deployment operations and apply runtime policy changes through the authoritative PAN workflow.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Restore a supported Monitoring persona deployment and the forwarding path for PSN operational logs. This is appropriate because the Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. It should be verified by this evidence: The monitoring interface receives new authentication records from both PSNs while access decisions continue uninterrupted.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: the Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The needed response is: Restore a supported Monitoring persona deployment and the forwarding path for PSN operational logs.

B:

A distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: the Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The needed response is: Restore a supported Monitoring persona deployment and the forwarding path for PSN operational logs.

D:

Add DNS and NTP acceptance tests to the automated provisioning pipeline. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: the Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The needed response is: Restore a supported Monitoring persona deployment and the forwarding path for PSN operational logs.

Question 6

In a staged Cisco ISE network access rollout, the team observes: Two remote ISE policy nodes can authenticate users but their RADIUS failures never appear in the central historical reports after the monitoring node was retired. What is the key technical principle in this situation?

  1. The Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests.
  2. Multiple PSNs provide authentication-service resilience only when the network access device has a valid way to select a surviving server.
  3. pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging.
  4. ISE VM performance depends on reserved hypervisor capacity and supported resource specifications rather than the ISO image alone.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. This behavior directly governs the stated requirement. The recommended action is: Restore a supported Monitoring persona deployment and the forwarding path for PSN operational logs. The acceptance result is: The monitoring interface receives new authentication records from both PSNs while access decisions continue uninterrupted.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: a test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.

C:

The Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.

D:

The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: the VM meets the documented profile and representative authentication load remains within agreed latency and resource thresholds. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.

Question 7

An identity and device-administration engineer evaluates: Two remote ISE policy nodes can authenticate users but their RADIUS failures never appear in the central historical reports after the monitoring node was retired. What result should be documented before closing the issue?

  1. The monitoring interface receives new authentication records from both PSNs while access decisions continue uninterrupted.
  2. A test policy modification is performed on the primary and is visible on the secondary after configuration replication.
  3. During a PAN maintenance test, already provisioned PSNs continue making permitted RADIUS decisions using their synchronized policy.
  4. The new node is bootstrapped with its intended system settings while existing authorization policies change only through approved PAN operations.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The monitoring interface receives new authentication records from both PSNs while access decisions continue uninterrupted. The required remediation is: Restore a supported Monitoring persona deployment and the forwarding path for PSN operational logs. It works because the Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set. In the case being tested, the Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The necessary acceptance evidence is: The monitoring interface receives new authentication records from both PSNs while access decisions continue uninterrupted.

C:

The PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. In the case being tested, the Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The necessary acceptance evidence is: The monitoring interface receives new authentication records from both PSNs while access decisions continue uninterrupted.

D:

Separate initial-node bootstrap rights from production policy-administration privileges. In the case being tested, the Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The necessary acceptance evidence is: The monitoring interface receives new authentication records from both PSNs while access decisions continue uninterrupted.

Question 8

A campus and branch network operator reports: Two remote ISE policy nodes can authenticate users but their RADIUS failures never appear in the central historical reports after the monitoring node was retired. Which durable safeguard best prevents a recurrence?

  1. Inventory Monitoring-node health and log-collection paths before retiring ISE nodes.
  2. Review pxGrid service placement and client trust separately from RADIUS policy coverage.
  3. Document primary and secondary PAN roles and rehearse planned administrative failover.
  4. Re-evaluate deployment mode when endpoint count, authentication load, or availability requirements grow.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Inventory Monitoring-node health and log-collection paths before retiring ISE nodes. This control addresses recurrence of the observed failure. The governing behavior is: The Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The ongoing acceptance check remains: The monitoring interface receives new authentication records from both PSNs while access decisions continue uninterrupted.

Incorrect Answers

B:

pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. The repeat risk here is different: the Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. A directly relevant preventive control is: Inventory Monitoring-node health and log-collection paths before retiring ISE nodes.

C:

The offered option specifies “Document primary and secondary PAN roles and rehearse planned administrative failover”. The question requires “Inventory Monitoring-node health and log-collection paths before retiring ISE nodes”: the Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. These are not equivalent responses to the stated requirement.

D:

One laboratory node manages policy, answers test RADIUS requests, and records corresponding live logs. The repeat risk here is different: the Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. A directly relevant preventive control is: Inventory Monitoring-node health and log-collection paths before retiring ISE nodes.

Question 9

An access-security change request states: Security orchestration consumers cannot subscribe to endpoint context because a distributed ISE deployment runs only administration, policy, and monitoring services. Which implementation decision directly satisfies the stated requirement?

  1. Maintain a defined primary PAN and secondary PAN role, with supported administrative replication and promotion procedures.
  2. Restore a supported Monitoring persona deployment and the forwarding path for PSN operational logs.
  3. Enable and configure a supported pxGrid persona or service on authorized ISE nodes and register eligible subscribing clients.
  4. Check supported hypervisor CPU, memory reservation, storage I/O, and resource contention before changing authentication rules.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Enable and configure a supported pxGrid persona or service on authorized ISE nodes and register eligible subscribing clients. This is appropriate because pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. It should be verified by this evidence: An authorized subscriber establishes its pxGrid session and receives the expected endpoint-context updates without access to ISE administration.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. The needed response is: Enable and configure a supported pxGrid persona or service on authorized ISE nodes and register eligible subscribing clients.

B:

The Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. The needed response is: Enable and configure a supported pxGrid persona or service on authorized ISE nodes and register eligible subscribing clients.

D:

Monitoring node retains the defined reporting period without disk threshold alerts under a realistic log-rate trial. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. The needed response is: Enable and configure a supported pxGrid persona or service on authorized ISE nodes and register eligible subscribing clients.

Question 10

During a Cisco ISE postchange review, the following is observed: Security orchestration consumers cannot subscribe to endpoint context because a distributed ISE deployment runs only administration, policy, and monitoring services. Which technical behavior is MOST relevant to this design?

  1. The Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests.
  2. A distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set.
  3. pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging.
  4. Authentication response performance depends on available compute and disk resources; high hypervisor contention can look like a policy outage.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. This behavior directly governs the stated requirement. The recommended action is: Enable and configure a supported pxGrid persona or service on authorized ISE nodes and register eligible subscribing clients. The acceptance result is: An authorized subscriber establishes its pxGrid session and receives the expected endpoint-context updates without access to ISE administration.

Incorrect Answers

A:

pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: the Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.

B:

pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: a distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set.
