BYOD
This domain covers Cisco ISE BYOD onboarding: device registration portals, client provisioning, and supplicant provisioning. You must understand the Network Setup Assistant, certificate-based authentication, and the guest/BYOD portal flow, plus how to verify BYOD activity through ISE dashboards and reports.

What to know about BYOD
Be able to configure a BYOD portal, enable the BYOD checkbox, and provision devices via NSA. The most important thing is ensuring certificate-based authentication works after onboarding, using ISE’s certificate authority and correct authorization policies.
Configuring BYOD device registration portals and client provisioning policies in ISE
Using Network Setup Assistant (NSA) for supplicant and certificate provisioning
Enabling BYOD checkbox in portal settings and assigning portal flow
Monitoring BYOD activity via ISE dashboard widgets and reports
Watch out for
Common BYOD exam traps
- ▸Confusing the BYOD registration portal with the guest portal; they have different settings and flows.
- ▸Forgetting that certificate provisioning requires a CA and correct certificate template in ISE.
- ▸Assuming NSA is only for Windows; it supports multiple OS types but requires correct supplicant profile.

Which THREE of the following are necessary to support 'Native Supplicant Provisioning' for iOS devices?
Hard2Which TWO of the following are valid device attributes that can be used to identify a device for BYOD onboarding?
Easy3In the BYOD flow, what occurs immediately after the user provides credentials in the portal?
Medium4Which TWO of the following are benefits of integrating MDM with Cisco ISE for BYOD?
Medium5A user reports that their BYOD device is not being recognized as 'Compliant' even though the MDM shows it is compliant. Which ISE component is responsible for retrieving this status?
Medium6Which TWO of the following are common troubleshooting steps for a failed BYOD portal redirection?
Medium7Which of the following is a requirement for a successful BYOD certificate provisioning flow?
Medium8A company has deployed Cisco ISE BYOD with native supplicant provisioning. Employees are reporting that their Windows 10 devices fail to complete the onboarding process. The administrator reviews the ISE logs and sees that the devices are successfully authenticated and authorized for the BYOD onboarding portal, but the supplicant provisioning wizard fails to run. The administrator suspects that the issue is related to the supplicant provisioning settings. Which of the following should the administrator verify first to resolve this issue?
Hard9What is the purpose of the 'Redirect ACL' on the network access device?
Easy10If a user is successfully registered but cannot connect after the BYOD flow, which status should you check in the 'Endpoints' menu?
Medium11You are configuring a BYOD flow where users must register their devices via the self-service portal. Which ISE component is responsible for triggering the redirection to the BYOD portal after an initial MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) success?
Medium12Which component of the BYOD flow identifies the device type (e.g., iPhone vs. Windows) for appropriate configuration?
Medium13A company uses Cisco ISE BYOD with certificate-based authentication. Employees report that their devices successfully onboard and receive a certificate, but after a few days, they are unable to connect to the corporate SSID. The administrator checks ISE and finds that the devices are failing authentication with the error 'Certificate revoked'. The administrator verifies that the certificates are still valid and not expired. Which ISE feature should the administrator check to resolve this issue?
Hard14If a user's certificate expires, how can the user renew it using the ISE BYOD flow?
Hard15When a user's device is stolen, which action should be taken in the 'My Devices' portal?
Easy16You are setting up an SCEP profile for BYOD. What is the primary role of the SCEP proxy in the Cisco ISE BYOD flow?
Hard17You are configuring a BYOD flow for iOS devices and notice that the native supplicant provisioning process is failing during the installation of the mobile configuration profile. Where should you check the logs in ISE to determine if the issue is related to the SCEP proxy communication?
Medium18Which protocol is used by ISE to communicate with the MDM server for device status checks?
Medium19Which THREE of the following items are required for the EAP-TLS authentication process to succeed?
Hard20What is the primary benefit of using native supplicant provisioning in ISE?
Easy21You are troubleshooting a certificate provisioning failure where the error is 'Internal CA Error'. What is the most likely cause?
Hard22Which THREE of the following protocols or standards are critical for the BYOD lifecycle?
Hard23Which ISE menu path is used to enable the 'BYOD' checkbox for a specific device registration portal?
Easy24A security team is deploying Cisco ISE BYOD for employee devices. They want to ensure that only devices that have completed the BYOD onboarding process and possess a valid certificate are allowed on the corporate SSID. Which ISE policy element should they configure to enforce this requirement?
Easy25What is the primary function of the 'Client Provisioning' policy in the context of BYOD?
Easy26You are configuring EAP-TLS for BYOD. What must be included in the 'Allowed Protocols' list in ISE?
Hard27When configuring certificate-based BYOD onboarding, you notice that devices are successfully registered, but the client certificate issuance fails. Where should you examine the logs to troubleshoot the Certificate Authority (CA) interaction?
Medium28During the BYOD onboarding process, a user is successfully redirected to the portal, but the certificate installation fails because the client cannot trust the root CA. Which configuration is required to resolve this?
Hard29A security engineer is configuring Cisco ISE BYOD with a single SSID for both employee onboarding and corporate access. The engineer wants to ensure that devices without a valid certificate are redirected to the BYOD portal, while devices with a valid certificate are granted full access. The engineer has created a client provisioning policy that provisions the native supplicant with the corporate SSID and a certificate template. However, after provisioning, devices are still being redirected to the BYOD portal on subsequent connections. Which configuration change is required to allow onboarded devices to bypass the portal?
Hard30Which TWO of the following are components of the Cisco ISE 'Endpoint' object?
Medium31Which dashboard widget provides a quick summary of BYOD activity in your network?
Easy32What is the purpose of the 'Network Setup Assistant' (NSA) in the context of Cisco ISE BYOD?
Easy33Which TWO of the following are mandatory steps for configuring BYOD with Cisco ISE?
Medium34You want to enforce a policy where personal devices are allowed access, but only if they are not jailbroken. How is this achieved in a BYOD scenario?
