Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE) — Question 232

An administrator replaced a PSN in the distributed Cisco ISE environment. When endpoints authenticate to it, the devices are not getting the right profiles or attributes and as a result, are not hitting the correct policies. This was working correctly on the previous PSN. Which action must be taken to ensure the endpoints get identified?

Answer options

• A. Verify that the MnT node is tracking the session.
• B. Verify the shared secret used between the switch and the PSN.
• C. Verify that the profiling service is running on the new PSN.
• D. Verify that the authentication request the PSN is receiving is not malformed.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the profiling service must be running on the new PSN for it to properly identify endpoints. If the service is not active, endpoints will not be profiled correctly. Options A, B, and D do not address the specific issue of profiling, which is crucial for ensuring endpoints receive the right attributes and policies.
