Question

A network architect is designing a distributed Cisco ISE deployment for an enterprise that must support 50,000 concurrent endpoints with full redundancy. Company policy requires that RADIUS authentication requests never be handled by a node that also owns administration or monitoring functions. Which persona placement design satisfies these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Deploy two dedicated Administration nodes (primary/secondary), two dedicated Monitoring nodes (primary/secondary), and multiple dedicated Policy Service nodes.

Answer

Deploy two nodes each running the Administration, Monitoring, and Policy Service personas in a redundant pair.

Answer

Deploy a single node running all personas and add a second node running only the Policy Service persona for RADIUS scaling.

Answer

Deploy two Administration nodes that also run the Policy Service persona, plus two dedicated Monitoring nodes.
