Practise command-choice questions where the task is to identify the correct verification, configuration or troubleshooting command.
Start Scenario PracticeYou need to allow guest users to access specific internal resources (like a printer) while they are connected to the Guest network. How do you configure this in ISE?
Explanation: A downloadable ACL (dACL) is a Cisco AV pair that ISE sends to the switch in the RADIUS Access-Accept. The switch then applies this ACL to the client's port to filter traffic. This allows granular control, such as permitting access only to a specific printer IP while denying other internal resources. The dACL is defined in the Authorization Profile, which is referenced in the authorization policy rule for guest users.
You are configuring a posture policy for Windows endpoints. Which component must be configured to provide users with a link to download the required compliance software if the posture check fails?
Explanation: A File Remediation Action in Cisco ISE is specifically designed to provide users with a downloadable link or instructions to obtain the required compliance software when a posture check fails. It is the remediation component that bridges the gap between a failed posture condition and the user's ability to fix it.
When troubleshooting AnyConnect posture issues, which THREE logs or files are most useful for determining why a compliance check failed?
Explanation: ISE Live Logs (A) are the primary real-time troubleshooting tool because they show the posture policy evaluation, the exact posture condition that failed, and the authorization result for the session as it happens. ISE Posture Reports (B) aggregate posture compliance data and show which posture policies and conditions are failing across endpoints, which helps confirm the specific compliance check that caused the failure. The AnyConnect DART bundle (E) collects the client-side posture logs, including the Posture Agent (cscan/ISEPosture) and compliance module logs, which reveal why the endpoint's posture assessment failed on the client. Cisco IOS syslog (C) only records router/switch events and does not contain posture policy evaluation details, and AnyConnect VPN Gateway logs (D) cover tunnel establishment and connection events rather than the posture compliance decision made by ISE.
How does Cisco ISE handle requests that do not match any configured TACACS+ Authorization Policy?
Explanation: Cisco ISE uses a default-deny model for TACACS+ authorization: if an authorization request does not match any configured policy rule, ISE returns a deny, and the device will not grant the requested command or privilege. This mirrors the implicit deny at the end of an ACL and ensures no unauthorized access is granted by omission.
In a posture flow, what happens if an endpoint is determined to be 'Non-Compliant' but no remediation action is configured?
Explanation: If an endpoint is determined to be Non-Compliant and no remediation action is configured, the device remains Non-Compliant. The posture policy will not automatically remediate or grant full access; the status persists until remediation is applied or the policy changes. Thus, option D is correct.
