Cisco 300-715 Practice Test 2

Question 10

A campus network engineer reports the following condition: A conference guest authenticates successfully and can browse the Internet, but the resulting network policy also permits connections to private payroll applications. What configuration dependency explains these observations?

  1. Successful portal login authenticates the visitor but does not inherently restrict the final authorization profile to public Internet destinations.
  2. An existing guest network session needs a supported authorization refresh such as RADIUS CoA for its final access result to replace the redirection permissions.
  3. ISE must return a network device-compatible RADIUS result, and the controller must map that result into the correct guest authorization behavior.
  4. Portal authentication uses the identity source or source sequence selected for that portal, which can be separate from corporate employee authentication policies.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The underlying principle is: Successful portal login authenticates the visitor but does not inherently restrict the final authorization profile to public Internet destinations. Address this by: Assign a guest-only authorization result using a dedicated guest VLAN and effective ACL or equivalent network enforcement. The confirming operational observation is: A guest reaches approved external services but cannot open internal payroll or management destinations after successful portal login.

Incorrect Answers

B:

An existing guest network session needs a supported authorization refresh such as RADIUS CoA for its final access result to replace the redirection permissions. “Verify CoA support, NAD session identifiers and authorization-change connectivity, then trigger the correct session reauthorization after guest login” would remedy that alternative situation, but it would not correct the present issue: successful portal login authenticates the visitor but does not inherently restrict the final authorization profile to public Internet destinations.

C:

“Review the controller platform's supported redirection and final ACL or VLAN attributes and align ISE authorization profiles accordingly” is the supported response when ISE must return a network device-compatible RADIUS result, and the controller must map that result into the correct guest authorization behavior. Here the decisive response is “Assign a guest-only authorization result using a dedicated guest VLAN and effective ACL or equivalent network enforcement”, so that different intervention does not meet the stated requirement.

D:

Portal authentication uses the identity source or source sequence selected for that portal, which can be separate from corporate employee authentication policies. “Set the guest portal authentication source to the intended internal or approved external guest identity store and leave employee authentication on its own policy” applies to that other condition. The reported evidence is a conference guest authenticates successfully and can browse the Internet, but the resulting network policy also permits connections to private payroll applications; this alternative would address the wrong dependency.

Question 11

A campus network engineer reports the following condition: A first-time BYOD device finishes installing its certificate but remains on its initial restricted network profile until the user disconnects and reconnects manually. What ongoing control should operations standardize for this scenario?

  1. Audit unusual device ownership and enforce named sign-in and registration policies in employee onboarding guidance.
  2. Test CoA paths and session identifiers across controllers and switches whenever changing BYOD enrollment policy.
  3. Alert on expiring device certificates and publish a safe self-service renewal procedure before certificates reach their end date.
  4. Review device quota policy and abandoned endpoint registrations during periodic BYOD governance checks.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

This safeguard directly addresses enrollment triggered reauthentication and coa: Test CoA paths and session identifiers across controllers and switches whenever changing BYOD enrollment policy. The risk being prevented is: Completing certificate enrollment does not automatically replace the active NAD authorization unless the supported CoA or session transition runs. A safeguard aimed at another fault would not control this issue.

Incorrect Answers

A:

BYOD registration associates the certificate and endpoint with an authenticated owner, so sharing the onboarding identity undermines accountability and lifecycle control. “Audit unusual device ownership and enforce named sign-in and registration policies in employee onboarding guidance” would remedy that alternative situation, but it would not correct the present issue: completing certificate enrollment does not automatically replace the active NAD authorization unless the supported CoA or session transition runs.

C:

“Alert on expiring device certificates and publish a safe self-service renewal procedure before certificates reach their end date” is the supported response when certificate-based access depends on current trusted credentials, and a healthy AD password does not renew an expired personal device certificate automatically. Here the decisive response is “Test CoA paths and session identifiers across controllers and switches whenever changing BYOD enrollment policy”, so that different intervention does not meet the stated requirement.

D:

The BYOD device-registration policy needs an enforced maximum and appropriate endpoint ownership tracking to prevent unlimited registration. “Review device quota policy and abandoned endpoint registrations during periodic BYOD governance checks” applies to that other condition. The reported evidence is a first-time BYOD device finishes installing its certificate but remains on its initial restricted network profile until the user disconnects and reconnects manually; this alternative would address the wrong dependency.

Question 12

During a controlled Cisco ISE access policy lab verification, engineers observe: An enterprise wants to observe which existing wired clients would pass 802.1X policy before enforcing restrictions and is concerned about disrupting current access. What is the most relevant underlying cause?

  1. Monitor mode gathers identity and authentication evidence while minimizing enforcement impact, whereas closed mode can deny unauthenticated traffic immediately.
  2. Cisco ISE identifies incoming RADIUS clients by their source IP and configured network device definition, not by SSID name alone.
  3. The ISE allowed protocol profile controls which EAP methods are permitted for a selected authentication rule independently of the client's own capabilities.
  4. Low-impact access designs rely on a narrow preauthentication access list to permit essential bootstrap traffic while authentication remains incomplete.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The underlying principle is: Monitor mode gathers identity and authentication evidence while minimizing enforcement impact, whereas closed mode can deny unauthenticated traffic immediately. Address this by: Configure the supported 802.1X monitor-mode pilot and collect authentication telemetry and would-be authorization decisions before tightening access. The confirming operational observation is: The pilot identifies successful and failing supplicants without broadly interrupting the users' existing permitted traffic.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Cisco ISE identifies incoming RADIUS clients by their source IP and configured network device definition, not by SSID name alone. “Add the controller's actual RADIUS source identity with the correct shared secret and network device grouping, then retest the WLAN policy set” would remedy that alternative situation, but it would not correct the present issue: monitor mode gathers identity and authentication evidence while minimizing enforcement impact, whereas closed mode can deny unauthenticated traffic immediately.

C:

“Choose the approved EAP-TLS capable protocol set on the matching policy rule and verify the server certificate and client credential chain” is the supported response when the ISE allowed protocol profile controls which EAP methods are permitted for a selected authentication rule independently of the client's own capabilities. Here the decisive response is “Configure the supported 802.1X monitor-mode pilot and collect authentication telemetry and would-be authorization decisions before tightening access”, so that different intervention does not meet the stated requirement.

D:

Low-impact access designs rely on a narrow preauthentication access list to permit essential bootstrap traffic while authentication remains incomplete. “Adjust the preauthentication ACL to permit only necessary DHCP, DNS, and supported identity services, with final authorization still controlled by ISE” applies to that other condition. The reported evidence is an enterprise wants to observe which existing wired clients would pass 802.1X policy before enforcing restrictions and is concerned about disrupting current access; this alternative would address the wrong dependency.

Question 13

A network access incident review reveals: Cisco ISE offers a Windows Secure Client installer to macOS laptops because a generic client provisioning rule appears before the OS-specific rules. Which Cisco ISE action most directly resolves the observed problem?

  1. Configure the supported agentless posture prerequisites with least-privilege credentials and permitted management paths for eligible endpoints.
  2. Check posture state transitions, CoA destination reachability and NAD session handling so completed assessment triggers approved session update.
  3. Reorder and scope the OS-specific client provisioning rules and associate each with the correct supported client installation package.
  4. Set the patch check to Mandatory in the intended posture policy and map failed assessment to the approved remediation result.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The underlying cause is: Client provisioning selects the appropriate agent and configuration through its policy conditions, which must distinguish operating systems and device populations. The correct response is: Reorder and scope the OS-specific client provisioning rules and associate each with the correct supported client installation package. Confirm by checking: A managed Windows device receives the Windows package and a supported macOS device receives the intended compatible configuration.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That intervention addresses agentless posture assessment prerequisites, where Agentless posture relies on supported remote system access mechanisms and credentials, so network connectivity alone does not yield reliable compliance evidence. Here, the relevant failure is instead: Client provisioning selects the appropriate agent and configuration through its policy conditions, which must distinguish operating systems and device populations.

B:

That intervention addresses posture coa after successful remediation, where An existing NAD session needs a supported reauthorization or RADIUS CoA to apply the compliant access result after posture state changes. In this question the necessary remedy is “Reorder and scope the OS-specific client provisioning rules and associate each with the correct supported client installation package”, which this alternative does not provide.

D:

That intervention addresses mandatory versus optional posture requirement, where Mandatory, Optional, and Audit posture requirements have different enforcement semantics; optional failure need not cause denial of compliant access. The observed condition is cisco ISE offers a Windows Secure Client installer to macOS laptops because a generic client provisioning rule appears before the OS-specific rules; this mechanism addresses another problem.

Question 14

During a Cisco ISE access-control troubleshooting session, the team observes: A contractor must reach a small set of internal services after 802.1X, but a locally configured switch ACL allows access to the entire private network. Which Cisco ISE action most directly resolves the observed problem?

  1. Assign the intended SGT in ISE authorization and configure supported NAD propagation and enforcement with approved group-based policies.
  2. Create and assign a narrowly scoped ISE downloadable ACL in the contractor authorization result and verify the device applies it.
  3. Verify supported inline tagging or SGT exchange mechanisms and configure the downstream device to receive accurate group context.
  4. Configure separate authorization results for the groups with valid VLAN identifiers and test the switch interface and VLAN availability.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The underlying cause is: A downloadable ACL can provide session-specific access restrictions through supported RADIUS authorization to a capable network device. The correct response is: Create and assign a narrowly scoped ISE downloadable ACL in the contractor authorization result and verify the device applies it. Confirm by checking: A contractor reaches only the approved addresses and ports, while prohibited internal services remain unreachable after authentication.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That intervention addresses cisco trustsec sgt based segmentation, where Cisco TrustSec security group tags and group-based policy can carry identity classification independent of transient endpoint IP address. Here, the relevant failure is instead: A downloadable ACL can provide session-specific access restrictions through supported RADIUS authorization to a capable network device.

C:

That intervention addresses sgt exchange across network devices, where TrustSec classification is useful only when tags or equivalent classification context are preserved across the supported path to enforcement. In this question the necessary remedy is “Create and assign a narrowly scoped ISE downloadable ACL in the contractor authorization result and verify the device applies it”, which this alternative does not provide.

D:

That intervention addresses dynamic vlan authorization assignment, where A RADIUS authorization profile can return VLAN attributes that place authenticated sessions in the intended segment on supported switches. The observed condition is a contractor must reach a small set of internal services after 802.1X, but a locally configured switch ACL allows access to the entire private network; this mechanism addresses another problem.

Question 15

During an 802.1X, portal, or device administration test, engineers notice: A visiting contractor's guest account is allowed to register two devices, but the contractor can continually register additional devices without restriction in the current portal policy. Which acceptance test confirms the intended ISE operation?

  1. The first two devices are associated with the guest and a third unauthorized registration is rejected or requires the approved cleanup workflow.
  2. A new attendee sees the required AUP and gains only the allowed guest path after acceptance, while refusal does not produce normal access.
  3. The guest receives a notification with only the approved account details, and delivery logs no longer report authentication failure.
  4. A test expired guest login fails or is reauthorized appropriately while an active unexpired sponsored account continues to work.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

This directly verifies guest device maximum registration limit: The first two devices are associated with the guest and a third unauthorized registration is rejected or requires the approved cleanup workflow. The linked remediation is: Configure the intended guest type and portal registration device maximum and test registration through the supported guest flow. A result from an unrelated network access function does not prove this requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A new attendee sees the required AUP and gains only the allowed guest path after acceptance, while refusal does not produce normal access. This is a different failure mechanism from the current case, which concerns the first two devices are associated with the guest and a third unauthorized registration is rejected or requires the approved cleanup workflow.

C:

This option instead describes the guest receives a notification with only the approved account details, and delivery logs no longer report authentication failure. Testing that independent mechanism would not show whether the reported fault has been resolved.

D:

A test expired guest login fails or is reauthorized appropriately while an active unexpired sponsored account continues to work. The stem describes a visiting contractor's guest account is allowed to register two devices, but the contractor can continually register additional devices without restriction in the current portal policy, so this explanation does not account for the observations.

Question 16

An administrator reviewing a Cisco ISE deployment identifies: The security team wants long-term centralized authentication reporting, but engineers expect a dedicated policy service node without the Monitoring persona to provide the full historic reporting database. What ongoing control should operations standardize for this scenario?

  1. Monitor MnT storage, retention, and logging transport independently of RADIUS availability to avoid silently losing investigation evidence.
  2. Review expected endpoints, authentication bursts, personas, and virtualization overcommitment before choosing a hardware or VM profile.
  3. Document persona ownership, restrict administrative access to the PAN, and verify configuration replication after every policy change.
  4. Validate PSN latency, certificate trust, and per-site RADIUS server ordering before wide access-control rollout.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

This safeguard directly addresses monitoring persona for audit and live logs: Monitor MnT storage, retention, and logging transport independently of RADIUS availability to avoid silently losing investigation evidence. The risk being prevented is: The Monitoring and Troubleshooting persona handles log collection and reporting, which are distinct from policy administration and live RADIUS policy evaluation. A safeguard aimed at another fault would not control this issue.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Cisco ISE virtual sizing and supported resource reservations affect processing capacity, so merely booting an undersized VM is not proof of a supported design. “Review expected endpoints, authentication bursts, personas, and virtualization overcommitment before choosing a hardware or VM profile” would remedy that alternative situation, but it would not correct the present issue: the Monitoring and Troubleshooting persona handles log collection and reporting, which are distinct from policy administration and live RADIUS policy evaluation.

C:

“Document persona ownership, restrict administrative access to the PAN, and verify configuration replication after every policy change” is the supported response when policy authoring and configuration management are functions of the Policy Administration Node persona, not the policy service persona that handles endpoint requests. Here the decisive response is “Monitor MnT storage, retention, and logging transport independently of RADIUS availability to avoid silently losing investigation evidence”, so that different intervention does not meet the stated requirement.

D:

Policy Service Nodes process RADIUS authentication and authorization near access devices; a distant request path increases dependency on WAN delay and reachability. “Validate PSN latency, certificate trust, and per-site RADIUS server ordering before wide access-control rollout” applies to that other condition. The reported evidence is the security team wants long-term centralized authentication reporting, but engineers expect a dedicated policy service node without the Monitoring persona to provide the full historic reporting database; this alternative would address the wrong dependency.

Question 17

An enterprise identity operations team must resolve this situation: An authorized switch engineer can log in over TACACS+ and run show commands but receives authorization failures for an approved interface configuration command. Which supported configuration change best meets the stated requirement?

  1. Build correctly ordered TACACS device administration policy sets using approved NAD groups and administrator identity roles.
  2. Correct the router's source address and TACACS+ shared secret to match the authorized ISE network device definition and retest login.
  3. Inspect the ISE device administration Live Logs and command authorization details, then correct the specific command set or role conditions if approved.
  4. Configure a protected local break-glass account or method list fallback that applies only under the approved AAA server failure condition.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The underlying cause is: Successful TACACS+ authentication does not prove command authorization: shell profile, command set, identity group, and matched device policy may independently restrict commands. The correct response is: Inspect the ISE device administration Live Logs and command authorization details, then correct the specific command set or role conditions if approved. Confirm by checking: The allowed configuration command succeeds for the engineer with an accounting record while a separately forbidden command still fails.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That intervention addresses tacacs device group policy selection, where Device administration policy-set selection and authorization conditions must scope identities and network device groups so unrelated equipment does not inherit privileges. Here, the relevant failure is instead: Successful TACACS+ authentication does not prove command authorization: shell profile, command set, identity group, and matched device policy may independently restrict commands.

B:

That intervention addresses tacacs network device shared secret mismatch, where TACACS+ requests must come from a recognized NAD with compatible shared secret, source identity and device administration service configuration. In this question the necessary remedy is “Inspect the ISE device administration Live Logs and command authorization details, then correct the specific command set or role conditions if approved”, which this alternative does not provide.

D:

That intervention addresses aaa local fallback during ise outage, where Administrative AAA needs a tightly controlled fallback access design for total external server unavailability without broadly bypassing central policy in normal operation. The observed condition is an authorized switch engineer can log in over TACACS+ and run show commands but receives authorization failures for an approved interface configuration command; this mechanism addresses another problem.

Question 18

Before accepting a secure access rollout, the team finds: A switch is managed through TACACS+ only, and its administrators are locked out during an authorized maintenance outage that makes both ISE servers unreachable. Which acceptance test confirms the intended ISE operation?

  1. A network administrator authenticates through the intended device administration policy while user 802.1X flows remain separate.
  2. A known approved administrator authenticates through the replacement router and an invalid client or secret remains rejected.
  3. A switch-only operator can manage approved switches with the assigned command set but cannot obtain the router profile on a test router.
  4. The device uses TACACS+ during normal operation and a tested server outage permits audited emergency access through the approved local method.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

This directly verifies aaa local fallback during ise outage: The device uses TACACS+ during normal operation and a tested server outage permits audited emergency access through the approved local method. The linked remediation is: Configure a protected local break-glass account or method list fallback that applies only under the approved AAA server failure condition. A result from an unrelated network access function does not prove this requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A network administrator authenticates through the intended device administration policy while user 802.1X flows remain separate. This is a different failure mechanism from the current case, which concerns the device uses TACACS+ during normal operation and a tested server outage permits audited emergency access through the approved local method.

B:

This option instead describes a known approved administrator authenticates through the replacement router and an invalid client or secret remains rejected. Testing that independent mechanism would not show whether the reported fault has been resolved.

C:

A switch-only operator can manage approved switches with the assigned command set but cannot obtain the router profile on a test router. The stem describes a switch is managed through TACACS+ only, and its administrators are locked out during an authorized maintenance outage that makes both ISE servers unreachable, so this explanation does not account for the observations.

Question 19

During a controlled Cisco ISE access policy lab verification, engineers observe: A campus wants Cisco ISE to distinguish common printers and laptops through DHCP client metadata but profiling has only their MAC addresses. Which remediation most directly corrects the reported policy or access problem?

  1. Enable the appropriate approved HTTP profiling data path and combine its observed attributes with suitable profiler policy rules.
  2. Configure the supported DHCP probe path using the appropriate helper or sensor forwarding design so ISE receives authorized DHCP metadata.
  3. Enable the supported traps on participating NADs and configure their destinations and SNMP security parameters to reach the intended ISE profiler.
  4. Configure a least-privilege supported SNMP query credential and allow the necessary ISE-to-switch management path for approved profiling probes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The underlying cause is: The DHCP probe needs visibility into DHCP traffic or forwarded metadata to learn client parameters such as vendor class and hostname. The correct response is: Configure the supported DHCP probe path using the appropriate helper or sensor forwarding design so ISE receives authorized DHCP metadata. Confirm by checking: A new printer lease updates the ISE endpoint attribute inventory with the expected DHCP class and suitable profile evidence.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That intervention addresses http probe user agent profiling signal, where MAC OUI alone is a broad manufacturer hint; supported HTTP metadata and other probe attributes can improve endpoint identification confidence. Here, the relevant failure is instead: The DHCP probe needs visibility into DHCP traffic or forwarded metadata to learn client parameters such as vendor class and hostname.

C:

That intervention addresses snmp trap endpoint connection changes, where SNMP traps can provide timely device-change signals to a profiler but require correct destinations, event types, and ISE trap processing. In this question the necessary remedy is “Configure the supported DHCP probe path using the appropriate helper or sensor forwarding design so ISE receives authorized DHCP metadata”, which this alternative does not provide.

D:

That intervention addresses snmp query probe device observation, where An SNMP query probe relies on suitable permissions and network reachability to interrogate supported devices for supplemental endpoint information. The observed condition is a campus wants Cisco ISE to distinguish common printers and laptops through DHCP client metadata but profiling has only their MAC addresses; this mechanism addresses another problem.

Question 20

During a Cisco ISE access-control troubleshooting session, the team observes: A regional administrator tries to write new policy when the Primary Administration Node has failed, assuming the secondary administration node automatically accepts writes without role promotion. Which Cisco ISE action most directly resolves the observed problem?

  1. Check Cisco's platform and deployment sizing guidance and allocate a supported virtual appliance profile with required CPU, memory, disk, and resource reservations.
  2. Deploy appropriately sized Policy Service Nodes nearer the campus and configure the network devices to use the supported local and backup RADIUS targets.
  3. Validate the failed primary state and follow Cisco's supported promotion or failover procedure before resuming configuration changes through the new primary.
  4. Perform the policy changes through the active Primary Administration Node and allow its deployment replication to reach the relevant policy service nodes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The underlying cause is: The secondary administration persona is a standby policy management node until the appropriate supported promotion or administrative failover workflow makes it primary. The correct response is: Validate the failed primary state and follow Cisco's supported promotion or failover procedure before resuming configuration changes through the new primary. Confirm by checking: A controlled primary outage is recovered with one active write-capable administration node and consistent policy replication to service nodes.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That intervention addresses ise virtual appliance performance sizing, where Cisco ISE virtual sizing and supported resource reservations affect processing capacity, so merely booting an undersized VM is not proof of a supported design. Here, the relevant failure is instead: The secondary administration persona is a standby policy management node until the appropriate supported promotion or administrative failover workflow makes it primary.

B:

That intervention addresses policy service node distributed request handling, where Policy Service Nodes process RADIUS authentication and authorization near access devices; a distant request path increases dependency on WAN delay and reachability. In this question the necessary remedy is “Validate the failed primary state and follow Cisco's supported promotion or failover procedure before resuming configuration changes through the new primary”, which this alternative does not provide.

D:

That intervention addresses ise administration persona for policy authoring, where Policy authoring and configuration management are functions of the Policy Administration Node persona, not the policy service persona that handles endpoint requests. The observed condition is a regional administrator tries to write new policy when the Primary Administration Node has failed, assuming the secondary administration node automatically accepts writes without role promotion; this mechanism addresses another problem.
