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
✓
Use the 'MDMServer' and 'ComplianceStatus' attributes in the authorization policy condition.
The 'MDM Compliance' attribute is returned by the MDM server to ISE during the authorization process, which can then be checked in the authorization policy condition.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure a static IP address in the authorization profile.
Why it's wrong here
Static IP addresses do not provide any information about the device's compliance status.
- ✗
Configure the WLC to send a CoA immediately upon association.
Why it's wrong here
CoA is a mechanism to change authorization, but it does not evaluate compliance by itself.
- ✗
Use the 'DeviceRegistrationStatus' equals 'Registered' condition.
Why it's wrong here
Registration status only confirms the device exists in the ISE endpoint database, not its compliance status.
- ✓
Use the 'MDMServer' and 'ComplianceStatus' attributes in the authorization policy condition.
Why this is correct
These attributes allow ISE to evaluate the compliance status reported by the integrated MDM server.
