Cisco 300-715 Practice Test 99
Question 980
A new client provisioning rule offers an incompatible agent package to endpoint operating systems. The observed failure is: A browser login alone cannot run every operating-system compliance check without required client software. Which remediation resolves the underlying fault while maintaining policy?
- The supported recovery is to use a switch hostname as evidence the endpoint posture module is installed.
- The supported recovery is to assume a guest hotspot portal installs posture agents on every phone.
- The supported recovery is to correct agent deployment and OS targeting then verify posture telemetry and resulting access.
- The supported recovery is to push any available installer to all operating systems without compatibility tests.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Posture assessment relies on supported endpoint client components and policy matching, not just portal access. Recheck detected OS, provisioned package, agent version, posture connection and ISE compliance verdict.
Incorrect Answers
A:Use a switch hostname as evidence the endpoint posture module is installed. This action does not repair the identified failure. A browser login alone cannot run every operating-system compliance check without required client software. Instead, correct agent deployment and OS targeting then verify posture telemetry and resulting access. For the specific situation, a new client provisioning rule offers an incompatible agent package to endpoint operating systems.
B:Assume a guest hotspot portal installs posture agents on every phone. This action does not repair the identified failure. A browser login alone cannot run every operating-system compliance check without required client software. Instead, correct agent deployment and OS targeting then verify posture telemetry and resulting access. For the specific situation, a new client provisioning rule offers an incompatible agent package to endpoint operating systems.
D:Push any available installer to all operating systems without compatibility tests. This action does not repair the identified failure.

Question 981
A workstation is authenticated but ISE cannot evaluate its posture before allowing production access. Which administrator action is appropriate for this ISE access-control problem?
- Grant unrestricted access to endpoints with no posture report.
- Assume posture state never changes during an active session.
- Disable posture transitions to make logs appear stable.
- Design separate authorization for unknown, noncompliant and compliant posture outcomes with bounded assessment access.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:ISE posture may pass through unknown or pending assessment states before a final compliance decision. For the specific situation, a workstation is authenticated but ISE cannot evaluate its posture before allowing production access.
Incorrect Answers
A:This does not implement the required control for Posture compliant noncompliant and unknown state flow. For the specific situation, a workstation is authenticated but ISE cannot evaluate its posture before allowing production access.
B:Assume posture state never changes during an active session. This alternative overlooks a required prerequisite or targets the wrong function. ISE posture may pass through unknown or pending assessment states before a final compliance decision. The relevant evidence is posture result state, authorization rule, temporary ACL, remediation services and active session status. For the specific situation, a workstation is authenticated but ISE cannot evaluate its posture before allowing production access.
C:Disable posture transitions to make logs appear stable. This leaves the original requirement unresolved. Treating every unknown state as compliant bypasses conditional access requirements. Instead the intended policy action is design separate authorization for unknown, noncompliant and compliant posture outcomes with bounded assessment access. For the specific situation, a workstation is authenticated but ISE cannot evaluate its posture before allowing production access.
Question 982
A workstation is authenticated but ISE cannot evaluate its posture before allowing production access. Which collected records establish that the ISE decision actually took effect?
- A device hostname alone without the policy result or authenticated source.
- Posture result state, authorization rule, temporary ACL, remediation services and active session status.
- 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 Posture compliant noncompliant and unknown state flow for the described endpoint or network device. For the specific situation, a workstation is authenticated but ISE cannot evaluate its posture before allowing production access.

Question 983
A workstation is authenticated but ISE cannot evaluate its posture before allowing production access. Which statement about the relevant technology is correct?

- All Cisco ISE administration and policy personas perform exactly the same service.
- ISE posture may pass through unknown or pending assessment states before a final compliance decision.
- A policy display name alone is the complete source of enforcement state.

Question 984
A workstation is authenticated but ISE cannot evaluate its posture before allowing production access. An operator proposes the following incorrect shortcut: Grant unrestricted access to endpoints with no posture report. 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.
- Reading the authentication event report caused the original network access outage.
- Treating every unknown state as compliant bypasses conditional access requirements.
Explanation
