Explanation

When the primary Policy Administration Node (PAN) is down and the secondary PAN has not yet been manually promoted, the Policy Services Nodes (PSNs) continue to operate using their locally cached policies. This means existing authentication flows - such as 802.1X against Active Directory (choice B) and posture assessment (choice C) - remain functional because PSNs do not rely on the PAN for real-time decisions during normal operation. However, features requiring active ISE management or dynamic provisioning - such as hotspot (A), BYOD onboarding (D), and guest Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) portal flows (E) - typically require the admin node to function, making them unavailable until the secondary is promoted.
