300-710 SNCF Integration Practice Question

An administrator is troubleshooting a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense deployment integrated with Cisco ISE using pxGrid for TrustSec. The firewall is failing to enforce Security Group Tag (SGT) filtering on incoming traffic. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

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

Inline tagging is disabled in the access control policy Advanced settings.

For SGT enforcement to work properly on Secure Firewall Threat Defense, inline tagging must be enabled on the access control policy or the SGT/ISE integration must be explicitly mapped and enabled in the platform settings and access control rules, ensuring SGT metadata is preserved across security zones.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Inline tagging is disabled in the access control policy Advanced settings.

    Why this is correct

    SGT enforcement requires inline tagging to be enabled so the firewall can read the SGT header encapsulated in the packet.

  • Syslog event generation for identity events is disabled in the platform settings.

    Why it's wrong here

    Syslog event generation is for logging, not for the inline parsing of TrustSec SGT metadata.

  • The pxGrid certificate on ISE has expired, but the node trust is still active.

    Why it's wrong here

    If the pxGrid certificate expired, the entire session would drop rather than selectively failing to enforce SGT filtering.

  • The eStreamer service on the FMC is stopped.

    Why it's wrong here

    eStreamer streams events out to external consumers and does not impact inbound SGT enforcement.
