Cisco 300-715 Practice Test 39
Question 380
A newly restrictive SGACL matrix entry is not observed on downstream switches that have not refreshed policy. The observed failure is: An updated ISE rule alone does not prove active network sessions changed authorization instantly. Which remediation resolves the underlying fault while maintaining policy?
- The supported recovery is to claim a successful ISE GUI save proves all downstream SGACLs were installed.
- The supported recovery is to assume the network updates every active session without RADIUS or policy notification.
- The supported recovery is to repair distribution or session reauthorization and verify actual tag and SGACL behavior.
- The supported recovery is to use a VLAN name change instead of inspecting the SGT mapping.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Recheck updated ISE policy, switch SGT table, enforcement matrix version, CoA result and traffic retest. For the specific situation, a newly restrictive SGACL matrix entry is not observed on downstream switches that have not refreshed policy.
Incorrect Answers
A:Claim a successful ISE GUI save proves all downstream SGACLs were installed. This action does not repair the identified failure. An updated ISE rule alone does not prove active network sessions changed authorization instantly. Instead, repair distribution or session reauthorization and verify actual tag and SGACL behavior. For the specific situation, a newly restrictive SGACL matrix entry is not observed on downstream switches that have not refreshed policy.
B:Assume the network updates every active session without RADIUS or policy notification. This action does not repair the identified failure. An updated ISE rule alone does not prove active network sessions changed authorization instantly. Instead, repair distribution or session reauthorization and verify actual tag and SGACL behavior. For the specific situation, a newly restrictive SGACL matrix entry is not observed on downstream switches that have not refreshed policy.
D:Use a VLAN name change instead of inspecting the SGT mapping. This action does not repair the identified failure. An updated ISE rule alone does not prove active network sessions changed authorization instantly. Instead, repair distribution or session reauthorization and verify actual tag and SGACL behavior. For the specific situation, a newly restrictive SGACL matrix entry is not observed on downstream switches that have not refreshed policy.
Question 381
A guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated. Which administrator action is appropriate for this ISE access-control problem?
- Treat policy condition order as purely cosmetic because all matching results are merged.
- Put a permit-any authorization profile above all restricted rules.
- Change only an authentication report title to repair shadowed policy.
- Order specific policy conditions before broad fallbacks and validate default rule handling with live requests.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:ISE policy evaluation follows configured rule selection and earlier broad conditions may shadow narrower intended rules. For the specific situation, a guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated.
Incorrect Answers
A:This does not implement the required control for ISE policy-set condition ordering and default behavior. A catch-all allow above a deny can bypass the intended segmentation.
B:Put a permit-any authorization profile above all restricted rules. This alternative overlooks a required prerequisite or targets the wrong function. ISE policy evaluation follows configured rule selection and earlier broad conditions may shadow narrower intended rules. The relevant evidence is ordered policy sets, first matched rule, condition attributes, authorization profile and packet outcome. For the specific situation, a guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated.
C:A catch-all allow above a deny can bypass the intended segmentation. For the specific situation, a guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated.
Question 382
A guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated. Which collected records establish that the ISE decision actually took effect?
- A device hostname alone without the policy result or authenticated source.
- Ordered policy sets, first matched rule, condition attributes, authorization profile and packet outcome.
- A current login screenshot from a completely unrelated ISE deployment.
- A browser theme label without a current authorization trace.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:These observations directly establish the result of ISE policy-set condition ordering and default behavior for the described endpoint or network device. For the specific situation, a guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated.
Incorrect Answers
A:A device hostname alone without the policy result or authenticated source. This observation cannot verify ISE policy-set condition ordering and default behavior. Check ordered policy sets, first matched rule, condition attributes, authorization profile and packet outcome. ISE policy evaluation follows configured rule selection and earlier broad conditions may shadow narrower intended rules. For the specific situation, a guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated.
C:A current login screenshot from a completely unrelated ISE deployment. This observation cannot verify ISE policy-set condition ordering and default behavior. Check ordered policy sets, first matched rule, condition attributes, authorization profile and packet outcome. ISE policy evaluation follows configured rule selection and earlier broad conditions may shadow narrower intended rules. For the specific situation, a guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated.
D:A browser theme label without a current authorization trace. This observation cannot verify ISE policy-set condition ordering and default behavior. Check ordered policy sets, first matched rule, condition attributes, authorization profile and packet outcome. ISE policy evaluation follows configured rule selection and earlier broad conditions may shadow narrower intended rules. For the specific situation, a guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated.
Question 383
A guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated. Which statement about the relevant technology is correct?
- A successful switch port link signal always proves the device identity and policy were verified.
- All Cisco ISE administration and policy personas perform exactly the same service.
- A policy display name alone is the complete source of enforcement state.
- ISE policy evaluation follows configured rule selection and earlier broad conditions may shadow narrower intended rules.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:The supported implementation is to order specific policy conditions before broad fallbacks and validate default rule handling with live requests. For the specific situation, a guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated.
Incorrect Answers
A:This generalization is not valid for ISE policy-set condition ordering and default behavior. For the specific situation, a guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated.
B:This generalization is not valid for ISE policy-set condition ordering and default behavior. Instead iSE policy evaluation follows configured rule selection and earlier broad conditions may shadow narrower intended rules.
C:This generalization is not valid for ISE policy-set condition ordering and default behavior. Verify the actual state using ordered policy sets, first matched rule, condition attributes, authorization profile and packet outcome.
Question 384
A guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated. An operator proposes the following incorrect shortcut: Treat policy condition order as purely cosmetic because all matching results are merged. What specific security or operational failure should be anticipated?
- A justified least-privilege ACL caused every unrelated network authentication fault.
- A correctly recorded TACACS command audit caused the preceding security violation.
- A catch-all allow above a deny can bypass the intended segmentation.
- Reading the authentication event report caused the original network access outage.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:The shortcut is unsuitable because iSE policy evaluation follows configured rule selection and earlier broad conditions may shadow narrower intended rules. For the specific situation, a guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated.
Incorrect Answers
A:This unrelated assertion does not explain the ISE policy-set condition ordering and default behavior problem. The relevant risk is that a catch-all allow above a deny can bypass the intended segmentation.
B:This unrelated assertion does not explain the ISE policy-set condition ordering and default behavior problem. For the specific situation, a guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated.
D:This unrelated assertion does not explain the ISE policy-set condition ordering and default behavior problem. Check ordered policy sets, first matched rule, condition attributes, authorization profile and packet outcome.
Question 385
A guest device matches a broad employee rule before its restricted guest rule can be evaluated. The observed failure is: A catch-all allow above a deny can bypass the intended segmentation. Which remediation resolves the underlying fault while maintaining policy?
