350-701 Practice Question: Secure Network Access, Visibility and Enforcement
A company is deploying Cisco ISE for guest access. They want to provide a self-service portal where guests can register their devices and receive a temporary username and password. Which ISE component is used to accomplish this?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between BYOD and Guest portals, and the trap here is that candidates confuse the BYOD Portal (which handles device onboarding with certificates) with the Guest Portal (which handles temporary user credentials for non-employees).
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
✓
Guest Portal
C is correct because the Guest Portal in Cisco ISE is specifically designed to provide a self-service registration page where guests can create their own accounts, receive temporary credentials, and gain network access. This portal handles the entire guest lifecycle, including sponsor approval if required, and can deliver the username/password via SMS, email, or on-screen display.
