Cisco 300-715 Practice Test 2

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. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.

D:

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: Host contention clears and RADIUS response times return within the documented service target under the same traffic. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.

Question 11

A security policy owner must resolve this specific case: Security orchestration consumers cannot subscribe to endpoint context because a distributed ISE deployment runs only administration, policy, and monitoring services. Which readback demonstrates that the actual problem was solved?

  1. A test policy modification is performed on the primary and is visible on the secondary after configuration replication.
  2. During a PAN maintenance test, already provisioned PSNs continue making permitted RADIUS decisions using their synchronized policy.
  3. An authorized subscriber establishes its pxGrid session and receives the expected endpoint-context updates without access to ISE administration.
  4. The appliance completes first boot with its intended hostname, management network, and registered system state without interactive setup.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

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

Incorrect Answers

A:

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, pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. The necessary acceptance evidence is: An authorized subscriber establishes its pxGrid session and receives the expected endpoint-context updates without access to ISE administration.

B:

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, pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. The necessary acceptance evidence is: An authorized subscriber establishes its pxGrid session and receives the expected endpoint-context updates without access to ISE administration.

D:

Validate bootstrap DNS, access, and device identity against a clean installation before rollout. In the case being tested, pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. The necessary acceptance evidence is: An authorized subscriber establishes its pxGrid session and receives the expected endpoint-context updates without access to ISE administration.

Question 12

A network identity engineer receives the following requirement: Security orchestration consumers cannot subscribe to endpoint context because a distributed ISE deployment runs only administration, policy, and monitoring services. What validation should be repeated before subsequent rollouts?

  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. Monitor virtualization resource contention as a separate failure domain from policy correctness.
  4. Review pxGrid service placement and client trust separately from RADIUS policy coverage.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Review pxGrid service placement and client trust separately from RADIUS policy coverage. This control addresses recurrence of the observed failure. The governing behavior is: pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. The ongoing acceptance check remains: An authorized subscriber establishes its pxGrid session and receives the expected endpoint-context updates without access to ISE administration.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The repeat risk here is different: pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. A directly relevant preventive control is: Review pxGrid service placement and client trust separately from RADIUS policy coverage.

B:

The PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. The repeat risk here is different: pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. A directly relevant preventive control is: Review pxGrid service placement and client trust separately from RADIUS policy coverage.

C:

Host contention clears and RADIUS response times return within the documented service target under the same traffic. The repeat risk here is different: pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging. A directly relevant preventive control is: Review pxGrid service placement and client trust separately from RADIUS policy coverage.

Question 13

A campus and branch network operator reports: A secondary ISE node is registered with administration services but is mistakenly treated as a second independent primary configuration authority. What should the team change before declaring this work complete?

  1. Maintain a defined primary PAN and secondary PAN role, with supported administrative replication and promotion procedures.
  2. Separate central Policy Administration Node responsibilities from appropriate Policy Service Nodes, and distribute RADIUS requests to healthy PSNs.
  3. Restore a supported Monitoring persona deployment and the forwarding path for PSN operational logs.
  4. Configure the supported zero-touch provisioning prerequisites including identity, DNS, network reachability, and trusted bootstrap data.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Maintain a defined primary PAN and secondary PAN role, with supported administrative replication and promotion procedures. This is appropriate because a distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set. It should be verified by this evidence: A test policy modification is performed on the primary and is visible on the secondary after configuration replication.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: a distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set. The needed response is: Maintain a defined primary PAN and secondary PAN role, with supported administrative replication and promotion procedures.

C:

The Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: a distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set. The needed response is: Maintain a defined primary PAN and secondary PAN role, with supported administrative replication and promotion procedures.

D:

Review supported hypervisors and appliance sizing every time an ISE major release is adopted. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: a distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set. The needed response is: Maintain a defined primary PAN and secondary PAN role, with supported administrative replication and promotion procedures.

Question 14

A Cisco ISE operations team investigates this site issue: A secondary ISE node is registered with administration services but is mistakenly treated as a second independent primary configuration authority. What underlying Cisco ISE dependency explains this result?

  1. pxGrid publishes contextual identity and security information to integrations; the ordinary RADIUS access service is not a substitute for pxGrid messaging.
  2. A distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set.
  3. The PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point.
  4. Provisioning bootstrap and steady-state distributed policy management solve different lifecycle tasks.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set. This behavior directly governs the stated requirement. The recommended action is: Maintain a defined primary PAN and secondary PAN role, with supported administrative replication and promotion procedures. The acceptance result is: A test policy modification is performed on the primary and is visible on the secondary after configuration replication.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set. 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.

D:

A distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Add DNS and NTP acceptance tests to the automated provisioning pipeline. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.

Question 15

At a distributed Cisco ISE deployment, a security review finds: A secondary ISE node is registered with administration services but is mistakenly treated as a second independent primary configuration authority. Which measurable outcome proves the intended behavior?

  1. A test policy modification is performed on the primary and is visible on the secondary after configuration replication.
  2. An authorized subscriber establishes its pxGrid session and receives the expected endpoint-context updates without access to ISE administration.
  3. A test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable.
  4. The node resolves deployment FQDNs, has acceptable NTP offset, and completes approved registration to its primary PAN.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A test policy modification is performed on the primary and is visible on the secondary after configuration replication. The required remediation is: Maintain a defined primary PAN and secondary PAN role, with supported administrative replication and promotion procedures. It works because a distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The necessary acceptance evidence is: A test policy modification is performed on the primary and is visible on the secondary after configuration replication.

Question 16

A network identity engineer receives the following requirement: A regional ISE policy node stops answering RADIUS after its local service fails, yet the switch keeps sending requests to that node because it was configured as its sole AAA server. Which response most directly corrects the described failure?

  1. Enable and configure a supported pxGrid persona or service on authorized ISE nodes and register eligible subscribing clients.
  2. Provide redundant reachable PSNs in the network device's RADIUS server group and test failure detection and fallback.
  3. Separate central Policy Administration Node responsibilities from appropriate Policy Service Nodes, and distribute RADIUS requests to healthy PSNs.
  4. Use a supported standalone ISE deployment for the lab while acknowledging its single-node failure exposure.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Provide redundant reachable PSNs in the network device's RADIUS server group and test failure detection and fallback. This is appropriate because multiple PSNs provide authentication-service resilience only when the network access device has a valid way to select a surviving server. It should be verified by this evidence: A test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable.

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 repeat risk here is different: a distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set. A directly relevant preventive control is: Provide redundant reachable PSNs in the network device's RADIUS server group and test failure detection and fallback.

C:

A directly relevant preventive control is: Provide redundant reachable PSNs in the network device's RADIUS server group and test failure detection and fallback.

Question 17

An enterprise access-control incident describes: A regional ISE policy node stops answering RADIUS after its local service fails, yet the switch keeps sending requests to that node because it was configured as its sole AAA server. Which statement best explains why the correct response works?

  1. The PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point.
  2. A distributed ISE deployment has explicit primary configuration ownership; multiple unsynchronized primaries do not form a valid replicated policy set.
  3. ISE VM performance depends on reserved hypervisor capacity and supported resource specifications rather than the ISO image alone.
  4. Multiple PSNs provide authentication-service resilience only when the network access device has a valid way to select a surviving server.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Multiple PSNs provide authentication-service resilience only when the network access device has a valid way to select a surviving server. This behavior directly governs the stated requirement. The recommended action is: Provide redundant reachable PSNs in the network device's RADIUS server group and test failure detection and fallback. The acceptance result is: A test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable.

The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: a test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. The needed response is: Multiple PSNs provide authentication-service resilience only when the network access device has a valid way to select a surviving server.

C:

The VM meets the documented profile and representative authentication load remains within agreed latency and resource thresholds. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: a test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. The needed response is: Multiple PSNs provide authentication-service resilience only when the network access device has a valid way to select a surviving server.

Question 18

In a staged Cisco ISE network access rollout, the team observes: A regional ISE policy node stops answering RADIUS after its local service fails, yet the switch keeps sending requests to that node because it was configured as its sole AAA server. Which observation would BEST verify successful remediation?

  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. A test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable.
  4. When one PSN's AAA service is disabled in a test, fresh authentications move to a healthy node instead of timing out.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. The required remediation is: Provide redundant reachable PSNs in the network device's RADIUS server group and test failure detection and fallback. It works because multiple PSNs provide authentication-service resilience only when the network access device has a valid way to select a surviving server.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. 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:

Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.

Question 19

An identity and device-administration engineer evaluates: A regional ISE policy node stops answering RADIUS after its local service fails, yet the switch keeps sending requests to that node because it was configured as its sole AAA server. What should be incorporated into the change checklist?

  1. Document primary and secondary PAN roles and rehearse planned administrative failover.
  2. Inventory Monitoring-node health and log-collection paths before retiring ISE nodes.
  3. Validate PSN redundancy and device-side timeout behavior during site commissioning.
  4. Check supported load-balancing design and preserve RADIUS source identity when changing AAA topology.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Validate PSN redundancy and device-side timeout behavior during site commissioning. This control addresses recurrence of the observed failure. The governing behavior is: Multiple PSNs provide authentication-service resilience only when the network access device has a valid way to select a surviving server. The ongoing acceptance check remains: A test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The offered option specifies “Document primary and secondary PAN roles and rehearse planned administrative failover”. The question requires “Validate PSN redundancy and device-side timeout behavior during site commissioning”: a test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. These are not equivalent responses to the stated requirement.

B:

The Monitoring persona collects operational and reporting data, distinct from PSNs answering live AAA requests. In the case being tested, a test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. The necessary acceptance evidence is: Validate PSN redundancy and device-side timeout behavior during site commissioning.

D:

Test requests from each NAD match the correct ISE network-device object and authorization policy across the balanced PSNs. In the case being tested, a test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. The necessary acceptance evidence is: Validate PSN redundancy and device-side timeout behavior during site commissioning.

Question 20

An ISE administrator troubleshoots the following: A small laboratory needs one ISE instance for administration, policy, and monitoring, but engineers propose a multi-node design without a capacity or availability requirement. What is the most suitable solution within these constraints?

  1. Use Cisco-supported ISE load distribution and RADIUS source-address handling rather than an unvalidated generic proxy topology.
  2. Size and distribute PAN, PSN, and Monitoring services using published deployment scale and throughput limits for the target release.
  3. Use a supported standalone ISE deployment for the lab while acknowledging its single-node failure exposure.
  4. Separate central Policy Administration Node responsibilities from appropriate Policy Service Nodes, and distribute RADIUS requests to healthy PSNs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Use a supported standalone ISE deployment for the lab while acknowledging its single-node failure exposure. This is appropriate because a standalone node can provide Administration, Policy Service, and Monitoring personas for limited environments; scale and resilience drive distributed designs. It should be verified by this evidence: One laboratory node manages policy, answers test RADIUS requests, and records corresponding live logs.

Incorrect Answers

A:

When one PSN's AAA service is disabled in a test, fresh authentications move to a healthy node instead of timing out. The repeat risk here is different: a test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. A directly relevant preventive control is: Use a supported standalone ISE deployment for the lab while acknowledging its single-node failure exposure.

B:

One laboratory node manages policy, answers test RADIUS requests, and records corresponding live logs. The repeat risk here is different: a test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. A directly relevant preventive control is: Use a supported standalone ISE deployment for the lab while acknowledging its single-node failure exposure.

D:

The PAN manages configuration while PSNs process live network-access authentication; co-locating them creates a common maintenance failure point. The repeat risk here is different: a test authorization succeeds through the alternate PSN after the first PSN becomes unavailable. A directly relevant preventive control is: Use a supported standalone ISE deployment for the lab while acknowledging its single-node failure exposure.
