CCNP Security 300-715 SISE Practice Test 3 (Hard) - ISE Hardware/VM Performance Specifications and Zero-Touch Provisioning

CISCO CCNP Security Exam Logo

1 / 10

Which type of specification would an administrator consult to determine the maximum number of concurrent active endpoint sessions a specific Cisco ISE SNS appliance model can support?

The appliance's power cable color

The platform's published performance and scalability data sheet for that specific hardware model

The appliance's packaging box dimensions

The appliance's rack-mount screw type

The appliance's physical shipping box artwork, in accordance with common design practices, in accordance with common design practices

The appliance's warranty card font size

2 / 10

Which resource type is typically specified in Cisco's sizing guidance for a virtual machine running Cisco ISE, alongside vCPU count?

The data center's street address

The number of browser tabs open on the administrator's workstation

The hypervisor vendor's stock ticker symbol

Memory (RAM) and disk storage allocation

The host server's exterior paint color

The virtualization administrator's job title

3 / 10

Which performance consequence would most likely result from under-provisioning vCPU and memory resources for an ISE Policy Service Node relative to its actual authentication load?

The node would automatically increase its own vCPU allocation without any administrator involvement, in most deployment scenarios

The node would automatically and permanently convert into a Monitoring and Troubleshooting node

The node's hostname would spontaneously change without administrator action

The node would gain additional, previously unavailable persona roles automatically

Increased authentication latency or failures as the node struggles to process the volume of RADIUS/TACACS+ requests

The node would begin operating exclusively as a guest portal with no other function

4 / 10

Which zero-touch provisioning capability helps reduce manual configuration effort when deploying new Cisco ISE PSNs at scale?

Automatically applying baseline configuration and joining the deployment with minimal administrator input when the new node is powered on and connected

Automatically converting every existing PSN into a PAN

Automatically and permanently disabling all authentication policies on the new node

Automatically removing all licensing from the entire deployment

Automatically deleting the configuration of every existing node in the deployment

Automatically disabling network connectivity on the new node until a physical technician visits every existing node, which is inconsistent with expected behavior

5 / 10

Which planning practice helps ensure that a Cisco ISE deployment does not exceed its licensed or platform-supported endpoint capacity as the organization grows?

Assuming every ISE platform supports an identical, unlimited number of endpoints

Never reviewing endpoint counts, since ISE automatically prevents any growth beyond initial deployment, which does not align with best practices, under typical configuration conditions

Assuming licensing is entirely unrelated to endpoint or session counts

Relying solely on informal verbal estimates with no reference to documented capacity

Disabling all reporting so that endpoint counts are never visible to administrators

Periodically reviewing actual endpoint and session counts against the platform's documented capacity and the organization's license entitlements

6 / 10

Which statement correctly describes how Cisco ISE virtual appliance sizing guidance typically relates to the number of supported endpoints?

Virtual machine sizing has no relationship whatsoever to the number of supported endpoints

Every virtual machine sizing tier supports exactly the same fixed number of endpoints

Larger virtual machine sizing tiers (more vCPU, memory, and disk) generally correspond to support for a greater number of endpoints and higher transaction rates

Smaller virtual machine sizing tiers always support more endpoints than larger tiers

Endpoint capacity is determined solely by the number of administrator user accounts configured, which is rarely the correct choice, in a properly maintained environment

Endpoint capacity is determined solely by the guest portal's visual theme

7 / 10

Which scenario would most likely require an organization to move from a smaller virtual machine sizing tier to a larger one for an existing ISE Policy Service Node?

The organization changed its choice of office coffee supplier

The organization repainted the exterior of its office building

The number of concurrent authentications and endpoint sessions has grown beyond what the current sizing tier's documented capacity supports

The organization updated an unrelated internal phone directory

The organization renamed one unrelated conference room

The organization changed its default desktop wallpaper across all workstations

8 / 10

Which combination of steps would be appropriate when using zero-touch provisioning to deploy several new PSNs into an existing distributed Cisco ISE architecture?

Disable the PAN entirely before attempting zero-touch provisioning of new nodes

Skip all pre-configuration and simply hope the nodes configure themselves with no plan at all, in most deployment scenarios, which is rarely the correct choice, which is not the standard approach, based on standard platform behavior

Manually reconfigure every existing node in the deployment before adding any new node

Prepare the zero-touch provisioning configuration in advance, rack and connect the new nodes to the network, and verify each node successfully joins the deployment and receives replicated policy from the PAN

Physically disconnect all existing PSNs before provisioning new ones

Provision new nodes with no verification of successful deployment join at all

9 / 10

Which combination of sizing and provisioning practices would most effectively support a rapidly growing organization planning to scale its Cisco ISE deployment over the next several years?

Provisioning a single fixed-size node at initial deployment with no plan to review capacity ever again, in accordance with common design practices, which is not the standard approach, which is rarely the correct choice, which is not the standard approach

Randomly resizing nodes with no reference to actual endpoint growth or documented specifications

Refusing to use zero-touch provisioning under any circumstance, requiring fully manual configuration for every new node indefinitely

Regularly reviewing endpoint growth trends against documented platform sizing guidance, using zero-touch provisioning to streamline adding new nodes, and adjusting VM or hardware sizing tiers proactively before capacity limits are reached

Assuming growth will never occur and skipping any sizing review process entirely

Waiting until authentication failures are widely reported before considering any capacity changes

10 / 10

Which practice would help validate that a newly zero-touch-provisioned Cisco ISE node is actually ready to handle production authentication traffic before it is relied upon?

Assuming readiness automatically the moment the node is powered on, with no further check needed, under typical configuration conditions, which is not the standard approach

Confirming the node shows a healthy status in the deployment, has successfully replicated current policy, and can process a test authentication request end to end

Validating readiness only by checking the node's external case temperature by hand

Assuming readiness based only on the node responding to a basic network ping

Relying solely on the physical LED indicator lights on the chassis with no software-level check

Skipping validation entirely and routing full production load to the node immediately
