Cisco 300-715 Practice Test 4
Question 30
An enterprise loses its primary PAN and needs administrative continuity without losing synchronized policy state. The observed failure is: Two unrelated ISE management GUIs do not automatically form a synchronized administrative pair. What recovery action restores supported network-access behavior?
- The supported recovery is to delete the secondary configuration when the primary experiences an outage.
- The supported recovery is to configure both nodes as unrelated primary administrators indefinitely.
- The supported recovery is to copy a browser bookmark to make two PAN databases synchronize.
- The supported recovery is to repair replication and rehearse secondary administration promotion with controlled change validation.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Administration redundancy needs consistent replicated configuration and explicit role behavior. Recheck administration node role, replication health, policy version and controlled failover outcome.
Incorrect Answers
A:Delete the secondary configuration when the primary experiences an outage. This action does not repair the identified failure. Two unrelated ISE management GUIs do not automatically form a synchronized administrative pair. Instead, repair replication and rehearse secondary administration promotion with controlled change validation. For the specific situation, an enterprise loses its primary PAN and needs administrative continuity without losing synchronized policy state.
B:Configure both nodes as unrelated primary administrators indefinitely. This action does not repair the identified failure. Two unrelated ISE management GUIs do not automatically form a synchronized administrative pair. Instead, repair replication and rehearse secondary administration promotion with controlled change validation. For the specific situation, an enterprise loses its primary PAN and needs administrative continuity without losing synchronized policy state.
C:Copy a browser bookmark to make two PAN databases synchronize. This action does not repair the identified failure. Two unrelated ISE management GUIs do not automatically form a synchronized administrative pair. Instead, repair replication and rehearse secondary administration promotion with controlled change validation. For the specific situation, an enterprise loses its primary PAN and needs administrative continuity without losing synchronized policy state.
Question 31
A small isolated office considers one-node ISE but requires separate fault tolerance for policy processing. What action addresses this authenticated network-access scenario?
- Assume a single standalone VM provides multi-site fault tolerance automatically.
- Choose a supported standalone or distributed ISE deployment according to load, resilience, latency and role requirements.
- Put PSNs only behind an untested high-latency path regardless of failure modes.
- Use an external DNS alias as the sole replacement for policy node redundancy.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Verify the effect through deployment topology, measured RADIUS latency, persona capacity, node reachability and failure tests. For the specific situation, a small isolated office considers one-node ISE but requires separate fault tolerance for policy processing.
Incorrect Answers
A:An untested one-node design can lose all authentication decisions when that appliance fails. This does not implement the required control for Standalone versus distributed ISE design.
C:Put PSNs only behind an untested high-latency path regardless of failure modes. This alternative overlooks a required prerequisite or targets the wrong function. Distributed ISE spreads administrative, monitoring and access-policy service roles across appropriate nodes. The relevant evidence is deployment topology, measured RADIUS latency, persona capacity, node reachability and failure tests. For the specific situation, a small isolated office considers one-node ISE but requires separate fault tolerance for policy processing.
D:An untested one-node design can lose all authentication decisions when that appliance fails. For the specific situation, a small isolated office considers one-node ISE but requires separate fault tolerance for policy processing.
Question 32
A small isolated office considers one-node ISE but requires separate fault tolerance for policy processing. What verification should the engineer use before declaring success?
- Deployment topology, measured RADIUS latency, persona capacity, node reachability and failure tests.
- A switch interface description without any live AAA request or response.
- An old diagram with no RADIUS, TACACS+ or endpoint-session evidence.
- A current login screenshot from a completely unrelated ISE deployment.
Explanation

Question 34
A small isolated office considers one-node ISE but requires separate fault tolerance for policy processing. An operator proposes the following incorrect shortcut: Assume a single standalone VM provides multi-site fault tolerance automatically. Why does that proposed shortcut not satisfy the requirement?
- Reading the authentication event report caused the original network access outage.
- An untested one-node design can lose all authentication decisions when that appliance fails.
- The only result is an unrelated portal background color change.
- Accurate device accounting automatically created every earlier failed EAP exchange.
