Question 430
A security policy owner must resolve this specific case: A shared office printer is imported twice into ISE using the same MAC with different groups, and the effective endpoint authorization becomes inconsistent. Which statement best explains why the correct response works?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Internal endpoint records and identity groups determine how MAB and endpoint-based rules resolve an observed MAC. This behavior directly governs the stated requirement. The recommended action is: Reconcile to one authoritative endpoint identity record and assign the approved identity group and descriptive attributes. The acceptance result is: The printer appears once in endpoint inventory and receives a consistent restricted authorization across PSNs.
Incorrect Answers
Internal endpoint records and identity groups determine how MAB and endpoint-based rules resolve an observed MAC. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Both VMs report distinct addresses and ISE assigns the correct independent endpoint records and policies. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
Internal endpoint records and identity groups determine how MAB and endpoint-based rules resolve an observed MAC. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: a mutable hostname is weaker evidence than an approved endpoint registration and corroborating profiler attributes. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
Internal endpoint records and identity groups determine how MAB and endpoint-based rules resolve an observed MAC. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Monitor Profiler service health and identity counts after node-role changes. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
