300-425 Question 213
Single answerA network administrator is tasked with provisioning native supplicants for wireless clients in the enterprise network using Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE). The goal is to ensure secure onboarding while requiring minimal manual configuration on client devices. Which method should the administrator use to achieve this?
- A
Use the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) portal to distribute configuration profiles to client devices.
- B
Manually configure 802.1X settings on each client device.
- C
Leverage the ISE Secure Wired Auto-Provisioning feature.
- D
Use an MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution integrated with ISE.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Native supplicant provisioning using ISE is typically achieved through the BYOD portal, which simplifies the onboarding process by automating the delivery of configuration profiles. This approach reduces administrative overhead and ensures consistent security settings across client devices.
- A. Correct.
Using the BYOD portal in ISE is the recommended method for provisioning native supplicants. The portal can automatically deliver configuration profiles that set up 802.1X and other necessary settings, minimizing manual effort.
- B. Incorrect.
Manually configuring 802.1X settings on each client device is time-intensive and prone to errors, making it unsuitable for large-scale enterprise environments.
- C. Incorrect.
The Secure Wired Auto-Provisioning feature is used for wired network onboarding, not wireless native supplicant provisioning.
- D. Incorrect.
While an MDM solution can be integrated with ISE for device management, it is not specifically designed for native supplicant provisioning through ISE.
