The correct answer is A. SNMP. During the predeployment discovery phase of a Cisco ISE deployment, with an existing Network Management System (NMS), an SNMP probe should be configured to gather network information.

Why each option

During the predeployment discovery phase of a Cisco ISE deployment, with an existing Network Management System (NMS), an SNMP probe should be configured to gather network information.

ASNMPCorrect

When an existing Network Management System (NMS) is present, configuring an SNMP probe allows Cisco ISE to passively collect device information, such as IP addresses, MAC addresses, and device types, by querying the NMS or network devices directly via SNMP. This is a common and effective method for initial network discovery and populating the ISE device inventory.

BNMAP

NMAP is an active scanning tool used for port scanning and OS detection, which is generally not a passive probe used by ISE for network discovery in conjunction with an NMS.

CNetFlow

NetFlow collects network traffic flow statistics, primarily for monitoring bandwidth usage and anomalies, not for initial device discovery by ISE.

DRADIUS

RADIUS is an authentication, authorization, and accounting protocol, used by ISE for policy enforcement, not as a discovery probe.
