350-701 Practice Question: Secure Network Access, Visibility and Enforcement
Which TWO of the following are valid methods for Cisco ISE to collect endpoint attributes for profiling? (Choose TWO)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between 'RADIUS Accounting' (session tracking) and 'RADIUS Authentication' (profiling probe) — candidates mistakenly assume Accounting is used for profiling, but only Authentication is a valid probe.
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
✓
NetFlow Probe
Cisco ISE can use a NetFlow Probe to collect NetFlow records from network devices, which provide metadata about traffic flows (e.g., IP addresses, ports, protocols) that ISE analyzes to profile endpoints. This passive collection method helps identify endpoint attributes without requiring active agent deployment.

Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Syslog
Why it's wrong here
Syslog is used for logging events, not for profiling.
- ✗
RADIUS Accounting
Why it's wrong here
RADIUS accounting provides session information but not profiling attributes.
- ✓
NetFlow Probe
Why this is correct
NetFlow probe analyzes traffic flows to profile endpoints.
- ✗
SNMP Polling
Why it's wrong here
SNMP is used for network management, not as a profiling probe in ISE.
- ✓
DHCP Probe
