The correct answer is C. The logical profile is being statically assigned instead of the identity group. The authorization policy fails to match because it checks for a LogicalProfile, but the administrator mistakenly assigned the device to an Identity Group, which are distinct classification attributes in Cisco ISE.

Question

Refer to the exhibit. An administrator is manually adding a device to a Cisco ISE identity group to ensure that it is able to access the network when needed without authentication. Upon testing, the administrator notices that the device never hits the correct authorization policy line using the condition EndPoints LogicalProfile EQUALS static_list. Why is this occurring?

Options

  • AThe dynamic logical profile is overriding the statically assigned profile
  • BThe device is changing identity groups after profiling instead ot remaining static

Why each option

The authorization policy fails to match because it checks for a `LogicalProfile`, but the administrator mistakenly assigned the device to an `Identity Group`, which are distinct classification attributes in Cisco ISE.

AThe dynamic logical profile is overriding the statically assigned profile

There is no indication that a dynamic logical profile is overriding a static one; the core issue is a mismatch between the policy's expectation and the configuration action.

BThe device is changing identity groups after profiling instead ot remaining static
CThe logical profile is being statically assigned instead of the identity groupCorrect

The authorization policy condition `EndPoints LogicalProfile EQUALS static_list` explicitly looks for a specific logical profile. However, the administrator manually added the device to an *identity group*. Since logical profiles and identity groups are distinct endpoint attributes in Cisco ISE, the policy's logical profile condition will not be met because the expected logical profile is not assigned, despite the identity group assignment.

DThe identity group is being assigned instead of the logical profile
