Cisco 300-715 Practice Test 6
Question 50
A wireless controller sends all authorization to a distant PSN even though a healthy local policy node exists. The observed failure is: Redundant PSNs do not improve uptime when the access device never targets the backup. How should the administrator correct and verify this failure?
- The supported recovery is to disable RADIUS timeouts instead of configuring an alternate server.
- The supported recovery is to assume adding a PSN automatically edits every switch AAA configuration.
- The supported recovery is to correct NAD AAA server definitions and verify authentication during controlled PSN loss.
- The supported recovery is to set all network devices to use the same failed single destination.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Access-device RADIUS high availability depends on the NAD server list and working policy service endpoints. Recheck nAD server group, timeout and retry values, PSN health, network route and successful failover events.
Incorrect Answers
A:Disable RADIUS timeouts instead of configuring an alternate server. This action does not repair the identified failure. Redundant PSNs do not improve uptime when the access device never targets the backup. Instead, correct NAD AAA server definitions and verify authentication during controlled PSN loss. For the specific situation, a wireless controller sends all authorization to a distant PSN even though a healthy local policy node exists.
B:Assume adding a PSN automatically edits every switch AAA configuration. This action does not repair the identified failure. Redundant PSNs do not improve uptime when the access device never targets the backup. Instead, correct NAD AAA server definitions and verify authentication during controlled PSN loss. For the specific situation, a wireless controller sends all authorization to a distant PSN even though a healthy local policy node exists.
D:Set all network devices to use the same failed single destination. This action does not repair the identified failure. Redundant PSNs do not improve uptime when the access device never targets the backup. Instead, correct NAD AAA server definitions and verify authentication during controlled PSN loss. For the specific situation, a wireless controller sends all authorization to a distant PSN even though a healthy local policy node exists.
Question 51
A secondary ISE node cannot join a deployment because its certificate or hostname identity does not validate. Which configuration decision most directly satisfies the requirement?
- Verify supported node identity, DNS resolution, trust chain, synchronization and registration before admitting it to the deployment.
- Disable HTTPS certificate validation throughout the deployment.
- Rename only the GUI site label and claim node identity is corrected.
- Use self-signed certificates without distributing trust to the connecting nodes.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Verify the effect through node FQDN, certificate SAN, CA chain, time synchronization and deployment registration errors. For the specific situation, a secondary ISE node cannot join a deployment because its certificate or hostname identity does not validate.
Incorrect Answers
B:This does not implement the required control for ISE distributed node certificate trust and registration. Bypassing certificate verification to attach a node can undermine deployment security and still fail registration.
C:Rename only the GUI site label and claim node identity is corrected. This alternative overlooks a required prerequisite or targets the wrong function. Secure node registration requires consistent resolvable identities and trusted certificates across ISE roles. The relevant evidence is node FQDN, certificate SAN, CA chain, time synchronization and deployment registration errors. For the specific situation, a secondary ISE node cannot join a deployment because its certificate or hostname identity does not validate.
D:Bypassing certificate verification to attach a node can undermine deployment security and still fail registration. For the specific situation, a secondary ISE node cannot join a deployment because its certificate or hostname identity does not validate.
Question 52
A secondary ISE node cannot join a deployment because its certificate or hostname identity does not validate. What observations most directly test this network-access condition?
- A device hostname alone without the policy result or authenticated source.
- Node FQDN, certificate SAN, CA chain, time synchronization and deployment registration errors.
- 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 distributed node certificate trust and registration for the described endpoint or network device. For the specific situation, a secondary ISE node cannot join a deployment because its certificate or hostname identity does not validate.
Incorrect Answers
A:This observation cannot verify ISE distributed node certificate trust and registration. Secure node registration requires consistent resolvable identities and trusted certificates across ISE roles.
C:This observation cannot verify ISE distributed node certificate trust and registration. For the specific situation, a secondary ISE node cannot join a deployment because its certificate or hostname identity does not validate.
D:This observation cannot verify ISE distributed node certificate trust and registration. Check node FQDN, certificate SAN, CA chain, time synchronization and deployment registration errors.
Question 53
A secondary ISE node cannot join a deployment because its certificate or hostname identity does not validate. What principle of ISE authentication and authorization explains this case?
- Secure node registration requires consistent resolvable identities and trusted certificates across ISE roles.
- 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.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:The supported implementation is to verify supported node identity, DNS resolution, trust chain, synchronization and registration before admitting it to the deployment. For the specific situation, a secondary ISE node cannot join a deployment because its certificate or hostname identity does not validate.
Incorrect Answers
B:This generalization is not valid for ISE distributed node certificate trust and registration. Instead secure node registration requires consistent resolvable identities and trusted certificates across ISE roles.
C:This generalization is not valid for ISE distributed node certificate trust and registration. For the specific situation, a secondary ISE node cannot join a deployment because its certificate or hostname identity does not validate.
D:This generalization is not valid for ISE distributed node certificate trust and registration. Verify the actual state using node FQDN, certificate SAN, CA chain, time synchronization and deployment registration errors.
Question 54
A secondary ISE node cannot join a deployment because its certificate or hostname identity does not validate. An operator proposes the following incorrect shortcut: Disable HTTPS certificate validation throughout the deployment. Which negative consequence BEST explains the shortcut’s flaw?
- A justified least-privilege ACL caused every unrelated network authentication fault.
- A correctly recorded TACACS command audit caused the preceding security violation.
- Reading the authentication event report caused the original network access outage.
- Bypassing certificate verification to attach a node can undermine deployment security and still fail registration.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:The shortcut is unsuitable because secure node registration requires consistent resolvable identities and trusted certificates across ISE roles. For the specific situation, a secondary ISE node cannot join a deployment because its certificate or hostname identity does not validate.
Incorrect Answers
A:This unrelated assertion does not explain the ISE distributed node certificate trust and registration problem. The relevant risk is that bypassing certificate verification to attach a node can undermine deployment security and still fail registration.
B:This unrelated assertion does not explain the ISE distributed node certificate trust and registration problem. For the specific situation, a secondary ISE node cannot join a deployment because its certificate or hostname identity does not validate.
C:This unrelated assertion does not explain the ISE distributed node certificate trust and registration problem. Check node FQDN, certificate SAN, CA chain, time synchronization and deployment registration errors.
