Cisco Security Field Manual — SISE 300-715 v1.2

$590.37 MXN

ISE looks like a product exam and turns out to be an architecture exam. You can know every GUI path and still fail, because 300-715 doesn't ask what a thing is called — it describes a behavior and expects you to name the right one. Profiling or posture? CWA or LWA? CoA reauth or port bounce? Persona or node?

This manual is built around that. Every section maps to an official v1.2 blueprint objective, in blueprint order, so you can cross-check your coverage against the real thing. Two elements run throughout: EXAM TRAP callouts flag the misread distinctions, wrong-tool answers, and order-of-operations errors the exam is designed to catch, and verification blocks give you real switch, WLC, and ISE CLI with the show output you should expect back.

Once you see the pattern, five of the seven domains collapse. One redirect-plus-CoA flow underlies guest CWA, BYOD onboarding, and posture. Authentication-then-authorization underlies every access decision. Learn those two engines cold and the rest is variation. That structure is what the manual is organized to teach — not just facts in blueprint sequence.

What's inside

  • All seven v1.2 blueprint domains in blueprint order, with the official weightings and a study plan that leads with Policy Enforcement (25%) — the config core every other domain reuses
  • 38 practice questions with full rationale, including why the wrong answers are wrong
  • Production-style config: a complete annotated IBNS 2.0 build with concurrent 802.1X + MAB and critical-auth fallback, TrustSec with both PAC/RADIUS and REST/ERS environment-data download, TACACS+ command authorization and accounting
  • Rendered technical diagrams — distributed deployment, CWA flow, TrustSec classify/propagate/enforce, profiling, posture assessment, dual-SSID BYOD
  • Comparison tables for the distinctions that get tested hardest: personas, deployment modes, host modes, probes, guest access types, RADIUS vs TACACS+
  • Appendix A — Command & Verification Index, grouped by area for bench lookup while you lab
  • 43 pages, no filler

Who this is for
Engineers sitting SISE as their CCNP Security concentration (90 minutes, paired with the SCOR 350-701 core), and network admins who've inherited an ISE deployment and want to understand the policy flow properly instead of by trial and error.

A note on scope
This is a study companion, not a replacement for lab time. The config domains reward hands-on work — reading about an 802.1X or posture session isn't the same as watching it change state and fire a CoA. Use the verification blocks as your expected-output reference while you lab.
