300-715 SISE Exam - Question 2


What occurs when a Cisco ISE distributed deployment has two nodes and the secondary node is deregistered?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

When a Cisco ISE distributed deployment has two nodes and the secondary node is deregistered, the primary node becomes standalone. This means the primary node will continue to operate independently, handling all necessary functions of Cisco ISE, including authentication, authorization, and policy enforcement, without relying on the secondary node.

I think C is correct. Under section "Effects of Modifying Nodes in Cisco ISE" from the link below seems to me to show the answer. Change a primary node to Standalone (if no other nodes are registered with it; Primary to Standalone) https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/2-4/admin_guide/b_ISE_admin_guide_24/m_setup_cisco_ise.html#ID185

ANSWER IS D, the primary node continues to operate as a standalone node, handling all the necessary functions of Cisco ISE, including authentication, authorization, and policy enforcement. The primary node will no longer have a failover partner or redundancy provided by the secondary node.

The answer is A Exam now is about version 3.1 which matches answer A, The answer C was the old ISE exam & version, The provided links from friends here regarding answer C is correct in the past but now Exam is about ver 3.0 & 3.1

the question is strange. shuld be A if intended node = application in this case . more info on See Chapter 10, "Setting Up Inline Posture" for information on how to deregister Inline Posture nodes. The application server in an ISE node restarts when you make any of the following changes: •Register a node (Standalone to Secondary) •Deregister a node (Secondary to Standalone) •Primary node is changed to Standalone (if no other nodes are registered with it; Primary to Standalone) •Administration ISE node is promoted (Secondary to Primary) •Change the personas (when you assign or remove the Policy Service or Monitoring persona from a node) •Modify the services in the Policy Service ISE node (enable or disable the session and profiler services) •Restore a backup on the primary and a sync up operation is triggered to replicate data from primary to secondary nodes Note When you make any of the above changes, the application services are restarted. You must expect a delay while these services restart.

but it says "ISE node restarts when you make the following change" 1. De-register secondary node to standalone This is true as its what the question asks 2. Primary node is changed to standalone if no other nodes are registered with it Wouldnt de-registering the secondary cause the primary to become standalone as well and reboot both servers?

I agree, •Deregister a node (Secondary to Standalone) •Primary node is changed to Standalone (if no other nodes are registered with it; Primary to Standalone) This states both nodes will reboot.

Provided answer is correct if your deployment has two nodes and you deregister the secondary node, both nodes in this primary-secondary pair are restarted. (The former primary and secondary nodes become standalone

The correct answer is D. The primary node becomes standalone. When a secondary node is deregistered from a Cisco ISE distributed deployment, the connection between the primary and secondary node is lost. As a result, the primary node becomes standalone and all of the configuration data that was stored on the secondary node is lost. The other answer choices are incorrect: A. The secondary node restarts. This is not correct because the secondary node is no longer part of the deployment after it is deregistered. B. The primary node restarts. This is also not correct. The primary node remains running after the secondary node is deregistered. C. Both nodes restart. This is not correct. Only the primary node remains running after the secondary node is deregistered.

Effects of Modifying Nodes in Cisco ISE When you make any of the following changes to a node in a Cisco ISE, that node restarts, which causes a delay: Register a node (Standalone to Secondary) Deregister a node (Secondary to Standalone) Change a primary node to Standalone (if no other nodes are registered with it; Primary to Standalone) Promote an Administration node (Secondary to Primary) Change the personas (when you assign or remove the Policy Service or Monitoring persona from a node) Modify the services in the Policy Service node (enable or disable the session and profiler services) Restore a backup on the primary and a sync up operation is triggered to replicate data from primary to secondary nodes Taken straight from: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/2-4/admin_guide/b_ISE_admin_guide_24/m_setup_cisco_ise.html#ID193

it can B CORRECT if the question mean that the deregistered node is not an “application”. once again thanks CISCO

It is more logical Answer A! When we de-register secondary node, the secondary node become standalone and reboots, which is logical. In the meantime the first node is still prompted as primary, just secondary is not available anymore, right? you may want to add a new node later. It would be very bad design if primary node revert automatically to standalone and reboot s as well, that cause downtime on the entire ISE because we deregister only secondary node.

A is correct. Only the deregistered node reboots.

Cisco ISE Node Deregistration To remove a node from a deployment, you must deregister it. When you deregister a secondary node from the primary PAN, the status of the deregistered node changes to standalone, and the connection between the primary and the secondary node is lost. Replication updates are no longer sent to the deregistered standalone node.

Guys this is D! I have witnessed and reregistered it on very many occasions. There is no restart of any kind!

ISE 3.0 and later - Youki82 is correct: Primary PAN node does NOT become standalone when Secondary is deregistered: "If the node has a Primary role, and there are no other nodes registered with it, the Make Standalone button appears next to it." - this means that you have to make it Standalone manually after deregistration of Secondary. "When you make any of the following changes to a node in a Cisco ISE, that node restarts... - Register a node (Standalone to Secondary) - DEREGISTER a node (Secondary to Standalone) - Change a primary node to Standalone (if no other nodes are registered with it; Primary to Standalone) - Promote an Administration node (Secondary to Primary) ... Note When you promote the secondary Administration node to the primary PAN position, the primary node will assume a secondary role. This causes both the primary and secondary nodes to restart, causing a delay. " https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/3-0/admin_guide/b_ISE_admin_3_0/b_ISE_admin_30_deployment.html

tested in lab: only the secondary nodes restarts. the cisco documentation referring to both nodes restarting is from 2011 and for ise 1.0, so it is no longer valid
