300-715 · Question #63

The profiling data from network access devices is sent to which Cisco ISE node?

The correct answer is D. Policy Service node. Profiling data from network access devices (NADs) is primarily sent to the Policy Service Node (PSN) in a Cisco ISE deployment. The PSN is responsible for handling all network access requests, including the collection of endpoint attributes for profiling.

Why each option

Profiling data from network access devices (NADs) is primarily sent to the Policy Service Node (PSN) in a Cisco ISE deployment. The PSN is responsible for handling all network access requests, including the collection of endpoint attributes for profiling.

AMonitoring node

The Monitoring node is responsible for collecting and storing logs and reports, not directly receiving profiling data from NADs for real-time processing.

BAdministration node

The Administration node is for managing and configuring ISE, not for directly receiving operational data like profiling information from NADs.

CInline Posture node

An Inline Posture node is a specific service that runs on a Policy Service Node for guest access or advanced posture assessment, but the general function of receiving profiling data resides with the core Policy Service role.

DPolicy Service nodeCorrect

The Policy Service Node (PSN) is the component of Cisco ISE that directly interacts with Network Access Devices (NADs) for authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services. As part of this interaction, NADs forward endpoint attributes and probe data (like DHCP, HTTP, SNMP, NetFlow) to the PSN, which then processes this information for endpoint profiling.
