In a Cisco ISE MFA policy, what is the primary purpose of defining an authentication policy that requires multiple factors?

To enforce that users provide two or more independent credentials before access is granted

To replace the need for a RADIUS server in the network

To automatically grant access to all users after a single password check

To simplify the user login process by reducing the number of required steps

Which component in Cisco ISE is responsible for enforcing an MFA policy by evaluating the authentication context and applying the appropriate access decision?

Network Access Device (NAD) configuration

What is the typical result when a user fails to complete a required second authentication factor in a Cisco ISE MFA policy?

The user is granted access but with a reduced session timeout

The user is granted limited access with a warning

The user is automatically retried until successful

The user is denied access and the authentication attempt is logged

When troubleshooting a Cisco ISE MFA integration, which log is the primary source for reviewing the authentication flow and identifying where the MFA challenge is failing?

ISE Troubleshooting Logs (ise-psc.log)

ISE RADIUS Dictionary Debug Log (ise-radius.log)

ISE Live Logs (Operations > RADIUS Liveness)

ISE Admin Audit Log (ise-admin.log)

In a Cisco ISE MFA integration, what does the RADIUS Access-Challenge message typically indicate during troubleshooting?

The user's session has timed out and needs re-authentication

ISE is requesting additional authentication information from the user

The MFA server is unreachable and ISE is falling back to local authentication

The user's credentials were rejected by the MFA server
