What to know about Endpoint Compliance
IPv6 questions usually test address types (link-local, global unicast, ULA), autoconfiguration (SLAAC), Neighbor Discovery Protocol and the differences from IPv4.
IPv6 address types and their scopes (link-local, global unicast, multicast, ULA).
SLAAC vs DHCPv6 vs stateful assignment.
Neighbor Discovery Protocol replacing ARP.
IPv6 routing differences and dual-stack coexistence.
Watch out for
Common Endpoint Compliance exam traps
- ▸Link-local addresses are not routable beyond the local link.
- ▸SLAAC uses EUI-64 or random interface IDs — not a DHCP server.
- ▸NDP uses ICMPv6, not ARP.
- ▸An IPv6 prefix is /64 for most host subnets, not /24.

You need to allow users to remediate a non-compliant status manually. Which feature allows them to 'retry' the posture check after they have fixed the issue?
Medium2You need to ensure that the AnyConnect posture agent is updated automatically. Where is this configured?
Medium3What is the effect of setting a Posture Requirement to 'Optional'?
Easy4When using AnyConnect as the posture agent, how can you prevent users from disabling the posture service?
Medium5Which TWO of the following represent ways to verify the posture status of an endpoint?
Hard6Which posture condition should be used to ensure a specific Windows patch (KB number) is installed?
Medium7You are configuring a Posture policy in Cisco ISE and need to ensure that endpoints running an outdated version of Windows are directed to a specific remediation portal. Which component must you configure to define the conditions that trigger this remediation?
Medium8Which menu path allows you to view the posture compliance status of all endpoints?
Easy9When deploying the AnyConnect Posture agent, which specific file must be uploaded to the Cisco ISE Client Provisioning portal to enable posture assessment?
Easy10A user is complaining that they are stuck in a posture remediation loop despite having the latest antivirus software installed. You verify that the AV check is correctly configured. What is the most likely cause for this behavior?
Hard11What is the purpose of the 'Posture Discovery' phase?
Easy12Which THREE of the following are valid types of Posture Conditions?
Medium13Which protocol is used by the AnyConnect agent to communicate posture information to the ISE Policy Service Node (PSN)?
Medium14Which of the following is a posture requirement setting that defines how often the agent performs a re-scan?
Easy15You are creating a File Requirement for posture assessment. What is the required behavior if you want to confirm that a specific file exists on the client machine?
Medium16When configuring an 'Application Condition' to check for a specific version of an application, which operator is required to ensure the version is at least '10.5.0'?
Hard17Which TWO of the following are prerequisites for the AnyConnect posture agent to function?
Medium18You are configuring a 'Registry' check as part of a posture requirement. The goal is to ensure a specific registry key exists to prove a corporate application is configured correctly. What is the correct way to specify the path if the key is located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE?
Hard19An administrator is troubleshooting a posture failure where the AnyConnect agent is installed but ISE reports the endpoint as 'Unknown'. Which configuration setting in the Posture Policy is most likely misconfigured?
Hard20Which TWO of the following are true about Monitor Mode?
Easy21In a high-availability environment, where should the posture agent point to ensure it always reaches a PSN for assessment?
Hard22What is the primary function of the 'Monitor Mode' in Cisco ISE Posture policies?
Easy23Where do you upload the AnyConnect posture agent packages to make them available for Client Provisioning?
Easy24Which THREE of the following are valid operators for a Registry Condition?
Medium25You are configuring a posture policy for Windows endpoints. Which component must be configured to provide users with a link to download the required compliance software if the posture check fails?
Medium26Which THREE of the following items are configured in an AnyConnect Posture Requirement?
Hard27Which THREE of the following are valid remediation actions?
Easy28Which of the following is required for AnyConnect to perform posture assessment on a Mac endpoint?
Medium29You need to create a posture condition to verify that the 'Cisco AnyConnect' service is running. Which condition type should you select?
Hard30Which TWO of the following are valid components of an ISE Posture Policy?
Easy31An administrator needs to ensure that only endpoints with a specific registry key present are allowed access. Where should this posture condition be defined in Cisco ISE?
Easy32A posture condition is defined to check for a registry key, but it always returns 'Non-Compliant'. You suspect the 'Expected Value' is wrong. Where can you see what the agent actually found on the endpoint?
Hard33During a troubleshooting session, you notice that the AnyConnect agent is not receiving the posture policy. Which log file on the ISE Policy Service Node (PSN) should you examine?
Hard34Which TWO of the following steps are required to deploy the AnyConnect posture agent?
Hard35If you want to use a script remediation, where do you define the script content?
Hard36Which component is responsible for triggering the posture assessment process when a user connects to the network?
Medium37When troubleshooting AnyConnect posture issues, which THREE logs or files are most useful for determining why a compliance check failed?
Medium38Which THREE conditions are required for successful AnyConnect posture assessment in a wired network environment?
Hard39Which AnyConnect module is specifically required to perform posture assessment in ISE?
Medium40In a posture flow, what happens if an endpoint is determined to be 'Non-Compliant' but no remediation action is configured?
Hard41When configuring an AnyConnect Posture Policy, which option allows the administrator to force the agent to perform a scan regardless of the current posture status?
Medium42Which TWO of the following are valid remediation actions available in Cisco ISE for posture compliance?
Easy43A user is unable to pass posture assessment because the 'AnyConnect Compliance Module' is not detecting the antivirus software. Which log file on the endpoint should be reviewed to troubleshoot the compliance module's scanning logic?
Hard44Which of the following is a valid remediation action type in Cisco ISE?
Easy45Which THREE of the following are valid types of Client Provisioning Resources?
Medium46A user is compliant, but ISE still classifies the device as 'Unknown'. What is the most likely cause?
Medium47You are deploying a Posture agent using the Web Agent. Which mechanism does the Web Agent use to perform compliance checks on a Windows machine?
