Exam 300-710 topic 1 question 203 discussion

I will go "D" Validation on ISE. When the FMC pxGrid client has been successfully integrated on ISE, you then see )in the menu Administration > pxGrid Services > Client Management > Clients) clients with the name fmc are included and enabled. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/identity-services-engine-32/220856-configure-and-troubleshoot-ise-3-2-with.html

FMC registers as a client when integrated with ISE

On ISE GUI pxGrid peers are listed as clients. FMC is a client and has Capabilities (0 Pub, 6 Sub) so it is a subscriber.

PxGrid controller (ISE) : Must trust each of the participants that use pxGrid. Client: Can be subscriber and publisher of different topics. Publisher: Client that shares information with the controller. Subscriber: Client that consumes the information of a topic. FMC is client or subscriber.

Given the below information I believe the answer is Publisher https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/identity-services-engine-32/220856-configure-and-troubleshoot-ise-3-2-with.html Components of pxGrid as platform. PxGrid controller (ISE) : Must trust each of the participants that use pxGrid. Client: Can be subscriber and publisher of different topics. Publisher: Client that shares information with the controller. Subscriber: Client that consumes the information of a topic

ChatGPT 4: In the context of integrating Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) using pxGrid, the Cisco FMC is assigned the role of a client. Answer: D. client My confidence in this answer is approximately 95%. The reason for this high confidence is based on the typical architecture of pxGrid integrations, where Cisco FMC acts as a client to Cisco ISE's pxGrid server. As for the other options: A. Server - 5% confidence. FMC is typically not the server in this integration. B. Controller - 5% confidence. While FMC does control aspects of network security, in the pxGrid context, it is not referred to as a controller. C. Publisher - 5% confidence. This term is not typically used in the context of pxGrid roles for FMC. In the pxGrid framework, Cisco ISE serves as the central server (or controller) that facilitates information exchange, and other integrated services like FMC act as clients that subscribe to or publish contextual information through this grid.

https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/article/introduction-to-cisco-pxgrid-37956 ISE act as Controller for the pxGrid. Each pxGrid client registers themself in ISE and obtains pxGrid Certificate from it. pxGrid clients (participants) can register as a Publisher (aka pub) , to make information available to others, as a Subscriber (aka sub), to request information from others, or both.

pxGrid stands for Platform Exchange Grid, and it is a technology that allows integrating multiple vendors security products together and grouping them in an ecosystem domain. The main purpose of using pxGrid is to share contextual data between the integrated partners. pxGrid uses a built-in API in ISE and it is comprised of three main components which are the controller, publisher and the subscriber. The controller is the core component to make everything working and as said is going to be ISE. The publisher instead is the partner that has some contextual data to be shared with the other partners. And finally the subscriber is the partner that is interested in parsing some contextual data from the other partners. Reference: https://bluenetsec.com/fmc-pxgrid-integration-with-ise/ Therefore the controller is ISE, there is no “subscriber” option so the best answer should be “publisher”.
