In a high-availability deployment, you have a Primary PAN/MnT and a Secondary PAN/MnT. If the Primary PAN fails, what is the impact on the Monitoring (MnT) services?
If you need to perform maintenance on a PSN, how do you prevent the node from processing new authentication requests while ensuring current sessions remain active?
An engineer is deploying a Cisco ISE 3.1 distributed deployment with one Primary PAN, one Secondary PAN, and four PSNs across two data centers. The design requires that if the Primary PAN becomes unavailable, the Secondary PAN must take over administration automatically, but no manual promotion should ever be required. The engineer must also ensure that the Secondary PAN can perform policy configuration changes while the Primary is online for change-control testing. Which statement describes the correct behavior of the Cisco ISE PAN HA pair in this scenario?
An engineer is designing a Cisco ISE deployment for a hospital network that must support guest access, BYOD onboarding, and 802.1X for wired and wireless. The hospital requires that certificate provisioning for BYOD devices be performed without requiring the endpoint to trust a publicly signed certificate. Which ISE node persona should be deployed to handle this requirement?
A company is deploying Cisco ISE in a distributed architecture with a Primary Policy Administration Node (PAN), a Secondary PAN, and two Policy Service Nodes (PSNs). The security team wants to ensure that if the Primary PAN becomes unavailable, the Secondary PAN automatically takes over administrative functions. Which configuration is required to achieve this automatic failover?
An administrator is setting up a new Cisco ISE deployment and wants to ensure that the Policy Service Nodes (PSNs) can handle authentication requests even if the Primary Policy Administration Node (PAN) goes down. What is the recommended deployment practice?
A network engineer is deploying Cisco ISE in a distributed setup with one Primary PAN, one Secondary PAN, and three PSNs. The engineer wants to ensure that the PSNs can authenticate endpoints even if both PANs are unavailable for an extended period. Which statement about PSN behavior is correct?
A network administrator is planning to deploy Cisco ISE in a distributed architecture. The administrator needs to ensure that the deployment supports high availability and scalability. Which two statements about the roles of the Primary PAN and Secondary PAN are true? (Choose two.)
A customer is planning a large campus deployment with 50,000 concurrent endpoints. Which persona should be dedicated to handle the authentication load to ensure high performance?
You are deploying a distributed ISE architecture and need to ensure that the Policy Administration Node (PAN) maintains configuration integrity. Which mechanism is used to synchronize configuration changes from the Primary PAN to all secondary nodes?
You are troubleshooting a PSN that is not receiving configuration updates. Which log file on the PSN would provide the most insight into the configuration sync process?
A security architect is designing a Cisco ISE deployment for a large enterprise with 20,000 endpoints. The design must ensure that RADIUS authentication and authorization continue even if the Primary PAN and Secondary PAN both become unreachable. The architect is evaluating the roles and services that must be enabled on the PSNs to support this requirement. Which two statements correctly describe the behavior or configuration needed to meet this goal? (Choose two.)
A network administrator is preparing to add a new Cisco ISE node to an existing distributed deployment. The new node will serve as a PSN in a remote branch office. Before registering the node, the administrator must ensure that the node meets the prerequisites for joining the deployment. Which prerequisite is required for the new node to successfully register with the Primary PAN?
A network engineer is deploying Cisco ISE in a distributed architecture. The engineer needs to ensure that the deployment can scale to handle a large number of concurrent authentication requests. Which factor primarily determines the number of PSNs required?
