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.

Cisco ISE is configured to assign Security Group Tags (SGTs) to endpoints based on their identity. This is part of which Cisco security architecture?

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

✓

Cisco TrustSec

Cisco TrustSec is the security architecture that uses Security Group Tags (SGTs) to enforce access control based on identity rather than IP addresses. Cisco ISE acts as the policy decision point, dynamically assigning SGTs to endpoints and distributing them via protocols like SXP or inline tagging, enabling consistent policy enforcement across the network.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

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 Duo

    Why it's wrong here

    Duo is for MFA, not SGTs.

  • ✓

    Cisco TrustSec

    Why this is correct

    Correct. TrustSec uses SGTs for identity-based segmentation.

    Related concept

    Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

  • ✗

    Cisco SecureX

    Why it's wrong here

    SecureX is a threat response platform.

  • ✗

    Cisco AMP

    Why it's wrong here

    AMP is for endpoint protection, not SGT assignment.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Cisco often tests the distinction between TrustSec (which handles SGT assignment and network segmentation) and other security products like Duo or SecureX, so the trap here is confusing identity-based tagging with MFA or cloud security platforms.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

Under the hood, TrustSec uses SGTs (16-bit values) to classify traffic, with ISE assigning tags via RADIUS (e.g., during 802.1X authentication) or through passive identity mapping. The SGTs are then propagated using SXP (SGT Exchange Protocol) over TCP port 64999 or via inline metadata in Ethernet frames (Cisco proprietary), allowing switches and firewalls to enforce SGACLs without relying on IP addresses. A real-world scenario is a hospital where a doctor's device receives SGT=5 (access to patient records) while a visitor's device gets SGT=10 (internet only), with policies applied at the access layer.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
  • Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
  • Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.

TExam Day Tips

  • Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
  • Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

Key takeaway

Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A practitioner preparing for the 350-701 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
