350-701 Network Security Practice Question
A company is using Cisco ASA with AnyConnect VPN. They want to implement Dynamic Access Policy (DAP) to enforce access based on device compliance. Which two attributes can DAP use to evaluate endpoint posture? (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
✓
Antivirus software version and real-time protection status
DAP can use attributes from the AnyConnect client such as antivirus status, firewall status, and operating system. It can also use AAA attributes from RADIUS or LDAP. The Secure Endpoint (formerly AMP) connector provides device compliance data.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Cisco ISE authorization profile
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. ISE authorization profiles are used for network access, not directly as DAP attributes.
- ✓
Antivirus software version and real-time protection status
Why this is correct
Correct. DAP can check antivirus status via AnyConnect posture.
- ✗
User group membership from Active Directory
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. User group is an identity attribute, not a posture attribute.
- ✗
Source IP address
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Source IP is not a posture attribute; it's a network attribute.
- ✓
Presence of a specific file
Why this is correct
Correct. DAP can check for specific files or processes (e.g., corporate software).
Quick reference
AAA Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Port(s) | Encryption | Transport | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RADIUS | 1812 / 1813 | Password only | UDP | Network access control |
| TACACS+ | 49 | Full packet | TCP | Device administration |
| Diameter | 3868 | Full session | TCP / SCTP | Carrier / mobile networks |
| 802.1X | — | EAP-based | Layer 2 | Port-based access control |
TACACS+ encrypts the entire packet; RADIUS only encrypts the password field — a key exam distinction.
