- A
EAP-TLS authentication
Why wrong: EAP-TLS is certificate-based, not used for guest self-registration.
- B
Self-registration portal
Self-registration portal allows guests to create their own credentials.
- C
Guest VLAN on the authenticator
The guest VLAN is used to provide limited network access to guests.
- D
Posture assessment for guests
Why wrong: Posture assessment is typically not applied to guest users.
- E
MAB for guest devices
Why wrong: MAB is for non-supplicant devices, not for guest self-registration.

350-701 Endpoint Security and Identity Practice Question
This 350-701 practice question tests your understanding of endpoint security and identity. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company deploys Cisco ISE for network access control. They need to allow guests to access the internet via a self-registration portal. Which two components must be configured? (Choose two.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Self-registration portal
Guest access in ISE requires a sponsor portal (for approval) or self-registration portal, and integration with the network devices (switches/WLCs) for guest VLAN assignment.
Key principle: A trunk being up does not mean the VLAN is allowed across it. Always verify the allowed VLAN list and whether the VLAN exists on both switches.

EAP-TLS authentication
Why it's wrong here
EAP-TLS is certificate-based, not used for guest self-registration.
- ✓
Self-registration portal
Why this is correct
Self-registration portal allows guests to create their own credentials.
Related concept

MAB for guest devices
Why it's wrong here
MAB is for non-supplicant devices, not for guest self-registration.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: an active trunk can still block the VLAN you need
A trunk being up does not prove every VLAN is crossing it. Check allowed VLAN lists, native VLAN mismatch, VLAN existence and access-port assignment.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
VLAN questions usually combine access-port and trunking clues. The key is to identify whether the issue is local to one switchport, caused by the trunk, or caused by the VLAN not existing where it needs to exist.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Access ports place end devices into a single VLAN.
- Trunk ports carry multiple VLANs between switches.
- Allowed VLAN lists decide which VLANs can cross a trunk.
- Native VLAN mismatch can create confusing symptoms.
TExam Day Tips
- Use show vlan brief to verify access VLANs.
- Use show interfaces trunk to verify trunk state and allowed VLANs.
- Do not treat every same-VLAN issue as a routing problem.
Key takeaway
A trunk being up does not mean the VLAN is allowed across it. Always verify the allowed VLAN list and whether the VLAN exists on both switches.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A help-desk technician troubleshoots why a newly connected PC cannot reach shared printers on the same floor. The cable is good, the switch port is active, but the PC is in VLAN 20 and the printers are in VLAN 10. The uplink trunk only allows VLAN 10. A trunk being up does not mean every VLAN crosses it.
Visual reference
What to study next
Got this wrong? Here's your next step.
Review VLAN allowed lists, native VLAN mismatch detection, and how to verify VLAN membership with show vlan brief and show interfaces trunk. Then practise related 350-701 questions on switching, trunking, and access-port configuration.
