Question 660
At a distributed Cisco ISE deployment, a security review finds: A new PSN is added to handle device administration, but Cisco ISE has the TACACS+ service disabled on that PSN even though it responds to ordinary network-access RADIUS. Which postchange outcome demonstrates correct implementation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A test administrator login to the registered switch appears in the intended ISE TACACS Live Logs. The required remediation is: Enable the supported ISE Device Administration service on intended PSNs and verify licensing and matching NAD configuration. It works because the TACACS+ device-admin service requires explicit enablement and the appropriate license; running RADIUS on a PSN is not sufficient.
Incorrect Answers
ISE identifies the network device that sends a TACACS+ request; an unregistered or mismatched source may fail device validation before authorization. The repeat risk here is different: Enable the supported ISE Device Administration service on intended PSNs and verify licensing and matching NAD configuration. A directly relevant preventive control is: A test administrator login to the registered switch appears in the intended ISE TACACS Live Logs.
A proxy-sequence policy forwards TACACS requests to designated remote servers; a missing or unreachable upstream prevents timely decisions. The repeat risk here is different: Enable the supported ISE Device Administration service on intended PSNs and verify licensing and matching NAD configuration. A directly relevant preventive control is: A test administrator login to the registered switch appears in the intended ISE TACACS Live Logs.
Test both allowed and denied command categories for each admin role. The repeat risk here is different: Enable the supported ISE Device Administration service on intended PSNs and verify licensing and matching NAD configuration. A directly relevant preventive control is: A test administrator login to the registered switch appears in the intended ISE TACACS Live Logs.
