350-701 Practice Question: Wants to provide network access to guest users…
An organization wants to provide network access to guest users through Cisco ISE. Guests must register themselves and accept an acceptable use policy before gaining internet-only access. Which guest access method should be configured?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the sponsor portal (which requires an internal user to create accounts) with self-registration (where guests create their own accounts), leading them to select sponsor portal when the question explicitly states 'guests must register themselves'.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Self-registration
Self-registration is the correct guest access method because it allows guest users to create their own credentials and accept an acceptable use policy (AUP) before being granted internet-only access. Cisco ISE's self-registration portal handles the entire workflow: user provides details, accepts the AUP, and ISE provisions a temporary account with restricted access, typically via a sponsored or direct access policy.
