A logistics warehouse uses ISE to profile 3,000 scanners, badge readers and IP cameras. Newer models keep landing in the Unknown group because the local profile list lags behind, the team has no time for manual imports, and outbound HTTPS is permitted only from ISE nodes in the services segment. The primary PAN is in that segment. Which profiling service should you turn on to keep device profiles current?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Turn on the Feed Service on your primary PAN; it can reach Cisco over outbound HTTPS and automatically refresh profiles, like keeping a catalog up to date. Probes help classify endpoint data, but they don’t update profiling policies.
Full Explanation
The Feed Service is the fit because it keeps Cisco-provided profiling data current without requiring the team to maintain a local profile list manually. In this scenario, the primary PAN is in the services segment and can make outbound HTTPS connections to Cisco, satisfying the relevant connectivity condition for the service. DHCP and SNMP probes are established profiling methods, but they collect endpoint attributes; they do not refresh the Cisco profile definitions that are lagging, so they do not meet the stated need to keep profiles current. RADIUS profiling can also classify endpoints from authentication and MAB attributes, but it likewise relies on available attributes and policies rather than updating the profile catalog with newer Cisco device models. A staging server outside the services segment could be used in some environments to retrieve and distribute profile packs, but the stated egress rule prevents that server from reaching Cisco over HTTPS. Exam caveat: probes and profiling feeds address different problems—probes improve the evidence ISE observes, while the feed updates vendor profile data. Practical check: verify that the primary PAN can resolve and reach Cisco’s required feed endpoints over HTTPS, then confirm Feed Service status and that updated profiles appear in the ISE profile list.
