Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Syslog server parsing for DHCP leases
Why it's wrong here
Syslog parsing is not a primary built-in identity source mechanism in Identity Policies.
- ✗
SNMP trap listener
Why it's wrong here
SNMP is for monitoring, not identity mapping.
- ✗
Local FTD administrator database
Why it's wrong here
Local admin accounts are for firewall management, not user identity policy mapping.
- ✓
Active Directory via Firepower User Agent
Why this is correct
Active Directory integration via the User Agent provides passive user mapping.
- ✓
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) via pxGrid
Why this is correct
ISE integration via pxGrid is widely used for identity services.
Quick reference
AAA Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Port(s) | Encryption | Transport | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RADIUS | 1812 / 1813 | Password only | UDP | Network access control |
| TACACS+ | 49 | Full packet | TCP | Device administration |
| Diameter | 3868 | Full session | TCP / SCTP | Carrier / mobile networks |
| 802.1X | — | EAP-based | Layer 2 | Port-based access control |
TACACS+ encrypts the entire packet; RADIUS only encrypts the password field — a key exam distinction.
