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
✓
The client is in a quarantine state due to posture assessment failure; the administrator should check the ISE posture policy and ensure the client meets compliance.
The exhibit shows 'Authz Success' but the presence of a URL redirect to a guest portal and a dACL named 'PERMIT_QUARANTINE' along with SGT value 2 (commonly quarantine) indicates the client is in a quarantine state due to posture assessment failure. The administrator should check the ISE posture policy and ensure the client meets compliance to allow full network access. Option B is incorrect because the authentication is complete; the issue is posture non-compliance, not incomplete authorization. Option C is incorrect because the redirect is a result of the quarantine policy, not an independent problem to be disabled. Option D is incorrect because the client does not have full access; the quarantine dACL restricts it.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The client is in a quarantine state due to posture assessment failure; the administrator should check the ISE posture policy and ensure the client meets compliance.
Why this is correct
The quarantine SGT and dACL, along with guest portal redirect, indicate the client failed posture assessment; fixing the client's compliance will allow full access.
- ✗
The client's authentication succeeded but authorization is incomplete; the administrator should configure a new dACL on the switch.
Why it's wrong here
The dACL is applied by ISE based on policy; manually configuring a switch dACL would not override ISE authorization.
- ✗
The client is being redirected to a guest portal; the administrator should disable the URL redirect and assign a new VLAN.
Why it's wrong here
Disabling the redirect without addressing the posture condition would not grant full access; the client would still be quarantined.
- ✗
The client is fully authenticated and authorized; no action is needed.
Why it's wrong here
The URL redirect and quarantine dACL indicate restricted access, not full authorization.
