Cisco 300-715 Practice Test 17
Question 160
An identity source sequence has several options but a local fallback unintentionally authenticates accounts beyond intended scope. The observed failure is: Blind fallback to a permissive local database can grant access during a directory outage. Which controlled recovery BEST restores the intended state?
- The supported recovery is to correct source sequence policy and test both normal AD lookup and controller unavailability.
- The supported recovery is to treat a domain controller ping failure as proof every directory account is invalid.
- The supported recovery is to make every access request bypass password checks on AD timeout.
- The supported recovery is to use a guest user store for all privileged machine identities automatically.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This restores the intended operational behavior for Identity source outage versus authentication fallback. For the specific situation, an identity source sequence has several options but a local fallback unintentionally authenticates accounts beyond intended scope.
Incorrect Answers
B:Treat a domain controller ping failure as proof every directory account is invalid. This action does not repair the identified failure. Blind fallback to a permissive local database can grant access during a directory outage. Instead, correct source sequence policy and test both normal AD lookup and controller unavailability. For the specific situation, an identity source sequence has several options but a local fallback unintentionally authenticates accounts beyond intended scope.

Question 161
A temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access. What is the BEST supported ISE implementation or corrective action?
- Assume internal ISE user creation automatically creates an AD domain account.
- Give every contractor a shared permanent password with no expiry.
- Use a network device description field instead of checking the identity database.
- Use the ISE internal user store only for appropriate identities with scoped password and account-lifecycle controls.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Verify the effect through internal user object, password rules, expiry, authentication policy and RADIUS result. For the specific situation, a temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access.
Incorrect Answers
A:This does not implement the required control for Internal user identity store and password policy. Use the supported approach: use the ISE internal user store only for appropriate identities with scoped password and account-lifecycle controls.
B:Give every contractor a shared permanent password with no expiry. This alternative overlooks a required prerequisite or targets the wrong function. Local ISE user identities are a distinct credential store from AD and LDAP accounts. The relevant evidence is internal user object, password rules, expiry, authentication policy and RADIUS result. For the specific situation, a temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access.
C:Use a network device description field instead of checking the identity database. This leaves the original requirement unresolved. An unmanaged always-active test account may retain network access long after its purpose expires. Instead the intended policy action is use the ISE internal user store only for appropriate identities with scoped password and account-lifecycle controls. For the specific situation, a temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access.
Question 162
A temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access. Which evidence BEST verifies the intended operational outcome?
- A successful ICMP echo that does not test the required identity-service workflow.
- A browser theme label without a current authorization trace.
- Internal user object, password rules, expiry, authentication policy and RADIUS result.
- An old diagram with no RADIUS, TACACS+ or endpoint-session evidence.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:These observations directly establish the result of Internal user identity store and password policy for the described endpoint or network device. For the specific situation, a temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access.
Incorrect Answers
A:A successful ICMP echo that does not test the required identity-service workflow. This observation cannot verify Internal user identity store and password policy. Check internal user object, password rules, expiry, authentication policy and RADIUS result. Local ISE user identities are a distinct credential store from AD and LDAP accounts. For the specific situation, a temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access.
B:A browser theme label without a current authorization trace. This observation cannot verify Internal user identity store and password policy. Check internal user object, password rules, expiry, authentication policy and RADIUS result. Local ISE user identities are a distinct credential store from AD and LDAP accounts. For the specific situation, a temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access.
D:An old diagram with no RADIUS, TACACS+ or endpoint-session evidence. This observation cannot verify Internal user identity store and password policy. Check internal user object, password rules, expiry, authentication policy and RADIUS result. Local ISE user identities are a distinct credential store from AD and LDAP accounts. For the specific situation, a temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access.
Question 163
A temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access. Which technical principle BEST explains the required decision?

- A MAC address is a cryptographic proof of endpoint device ownership.
- Local ISE user identities are a distinct credential store from AD and LDAP accounts.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:The supported implementation is to use the ISE internal user store only for appropriate identities with scoped password and account-lifecycle controls. For the specific situation, a temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access.
Incorrect Answers
A:This generalization is not valid for Internal user identity store and password policy. For the specific situation, a temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access.
B:This generalization is not valid for Internal user identity store and password policy. Instead local ISE user identities are a distinct credential store from AD and LDAP accounts.
C:This generalization is not valid for Internal user identity store and password policy. Verify the actual state using internal user object, password rules, expiry, authentication policy and RADIUS result.
Question 164
A temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access. An operator proposes the following incorrect shortcut: Assume internal ISE user creation automatically creates an AD domain account. What material risk or failure follows from that shortcut?
- Accurate device accounting automatically created every earlier failed EAP exchange.
- An unmanaged always-active test account may retain network access long after its purpose expires.
- Inspecting a correct endpoint certificate generated the original directory outage.
- A justified least-privilege ACL caused every unrelated network authentication fault.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:The shortcut is unsuitable because local ISE user identities are a distinct credential store from AD and LDAP accounts. For the specific situation, a temporary lab account must authenticate when the isolated ISE system has no external directory access.
