SISE Architecture And Deployment Practice Question
When designing an ISE deployment across WAN links, what is the primary recommendation regarding MnT nodes?
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
✓
Keep the MnT node in the same high-speed network as the PAN
MnT nodes are bandwidth-heavy due to log aggregation; placing them across high-latency, low-bandwidth WAN links can cause replication delays and data loss.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Distributed MnTs across all WAN sites
Why it's wrong here
Too many MnTs lead to complex management and resource waste.
- ✗
Always place MnT in the cloud
Why it's wrong here
Cloud placement depends on connectivity, but local is safer.
- ✗
Disable logging for remote sites
Why it's wrong here
Disabling logs is not a valid architectural recommendation.
- ✓
Keep the MnT node in the same high-speed network as the PAN
Why this is correct
MnT requires high bandwidth for synchronization and log processing.
