350-701 Practice Question: Provide both corporate and guest wireless access…
A company wants to provide both corporate and guest wireless access using the same access points. They require that guest users be placed into a separate VLAN and have internet-only access. Which Cisco solution should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse Cisco Prime Infrastructure or TrustSec as policy enforcement tools, but Prime is only for management and TrustSec uses SGTs for role-based access, not direct VLAN assignment for guest isolation.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) with dACL and VLAN assignment
Cisco ISE with downloadable ACLs (dACL) and VLAN assignment is the correct solution because it enables dynamic per-user policy enforcement. When a guest user authenticates, ISE can place them into a dedicated guest VLAN and apply a dACL that restricts traffic to internet-only access, while corporate users remain in their native VLAN with full internal access. This leverages RADIUS CoA (Change of Authorization) and 802.1X to dynamically assign VLANs and filter traffic at the access point or switch.
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 Identity Services Engine (ISE) with dACL and VLAN assignment
Why this is correct
ISE can assign VLANs and downloadable ACLs based on user or device identity.
- ✗
Cisco Prime Infrastructure
Why it's wrong here
Prime Infrastructure is a network management tool, not a policy enforcement point.
- ✗
Cisco Flexible NetFlow
Why it's wrong here
Flexible NetFlow is a traffic monitoring feature, not a policy enforcement solution.
- ✗
Cisco TrustSec with SGT
Why it's wrong here
TrustSec uses security group tags for policy but does not directly assign VLANs.

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.
