SISE Web Auth And Guest Services Practice Question

A Guest user is stuck in a loop and cannot access the internet after authenticating. The NAD log shows the session is bouncing between the redirect state and authorized state. What is the most likely cause?

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 Redirect ACL does not permit traffic to the ISE PSN IP.

If the Redirect ACL is not properly configured to exclude the ISE PSN IP, the traffic to the ISE portal might get redirected again, causing a loop.

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 guest user account is expired.

    Why it's wrong here

    This would deny access, not cause a loop.

  • The switch is configured for redundant ISE nodes.

    Why it's wrong here

    Redundancy does not cause redirect loops.

  • The Redirect ACL does not permit traffic to the ISE PSN IP.

    Why this is correct

    If traffic to ISE is captured by the redirect rule, a loop occurs.

  • The CoA port is blocked by a firewall.

    Why it's wrong here

    This would cause authentication to fail, not a redirect loop.
