Question 1

A global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added. What is the BEST supported ISE implementation or corrective action?

  1. Assign Policy Administration for configuration and Policy Service Node for live AAA requests, then point network devices to eligible PSNs.
  2. Treat the Monitoring persona alone as a full authentication server.
  3. Configure switches to send every RADIUS packet to an administration-only node.
  4. Disable every distributed persona to reduce configuration complexity.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

This is the targeted action for Policy Administration Node and Policy Service Node role separation. For the specific situation, a global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A healthy PAN login does not prove a reachable PSN is handling network access decisions. This does not implement the required control for Policy Administration Node and Policy Service Node role separation.

C:

That option would configure switches to send every RADIUS packet to an administration-only node, but it addresses a different concern. This is the targeted action for Policy Administration Node and Policy Service Node role separation.

D:

A healthy PAN login does not prove a reachable PSN is handling network access decisions. For the specific situation, a global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added.

Question 2

A global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added. Which evidence BEST verifies the intended operational outcome?

  1. A switch interface description without any live AAA request or response.
  2. An old diagram with no RADIUS, TACACS+ or endpoint-session evidence.
  3. Node persona inventory, RADIUS destination list, PSN service state and live authentication logs.
  4. A current login screenshot from a completely unrelated ISE deployment.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

These observations directly establish the result of Policy Administration Node and Policy Service Node role separation for the described endpoint or network device. For the specific situation, a global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A switch interface description without any live AAA request or response. This observation cannot verify Policy Administration Node and Policy Service Node role separation. Check node persona inventory, RADIUS destination list, PSN service state and live authentication logs. Cisco ISE administrative and authentication processing personas are independent functions in distributed deployments. For the specific situation, a global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added.

B:

An old diagram with no RADIUS, TACACS+ or endpoint-session evidence. This observation cannot verify Policy Administration Node and Policy Service Node role separation. Check node persona inventory, RADIUS destination list, PSN service state and live authentication logs. Cisco ISE administrative and authentication processing personas are independent functions in distributed deployments. For the specific situation, a global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added.

D:

A current login screenshot from a completely unrelated ISE deployment. This observation cannot verify Policy Administration Node and Policy Service Node role separation. Check node persona inventory, RADIUS destination list, PSN service state and live authentication logs. Cisco ISE administrative and authentication processing personas are independent functions in distributed deployments. For the specific situation, a global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added.

Question 3

A global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added. Which technical principle BEST explains the required decision?

  1. A captive portal page automatically changes network authorization on every active NAD session without signaling.
  2. A successful switch port link signal always proves the device identity and policy were verified.
  3. Every RADIUS Access-Accept grants unrestricted access to all applications.
  4. Cisco ISE administrative and authentication processing personas are independent functions in distributed deployments.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

This is the governing technical behavior for Policy Administration Node and Policy Service Node role separation. For the specific situation, a global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A captive portal page automatically changes network authorization on every active NAD session without signaling. This generalization is not valid for Policy Administration Node and Policy Service Node role separation. Instead cisco ISE administrative and authentication processing personas are independent functions in distributed deployments. Verify the actual state using node persona inventory, RADIUS destination list, PSN service state and live authentication logs. For the specific situation, a global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added.

B:

A successful switch port link signal always proves the device identity and policy were verified.

Question 4

A global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added. An operator proposes the following incorrect shortcut: Treat the Monitoring persona alone as a full authentication server. What material risk or failure follows from that shortcut?

  1. Reading the authentication event report caused the original network access outage.
  2. A healthy PAN login does not prove a reachable PSN is handling network access decisions.
  3. The only result is an unrelated portal background color change.
  4. Accurate device accounting automatically created every earlier failed EAP exchange.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The shortcut is unsuitable because cisco ISE administrative and authentication processing personas are independent functions in distributed deployments. For the specific situation, a global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This unrelated assertion does not explain the Policy Administration Node and Policy Service Node role separation problem. The relevant risk is that a healthy PAN login does not prove a reachable PSN is handling network access decisions.

C:

This unrelated assertion does not explain the Policy Administration Node and Policy Service Node role separation problem. For the specific situation, a global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added.

D:

Question 5

A global deployment has working administrator GUI access but a campus switch receives no RADIUS responses after a new node is added. The observed failure is: A healthy PAN login does not prove a reachable PSN is handling network access decisions. Which controlled recovery BEST restores the intended state?

  1. Configure switches to send every RADIUS packet to an administration-only node.
  2. Enable an appropriate PSN role and test end-to-end RADIUS from the affected switch.
  3. Disable every distributed persona to reduce configuration complexity.
  4. Treat the Monitoring persona alone as a full authentication server.

Explanation

Correct Answer
