Cisco Exam 350-401 Topic 11 Question 40 Discussion

Cisco TrustSec uses tags to represent logical group privilege. This tag, called a Security Group Tag

(SGT), is used in access policies. The SGT is understood and is used to enforce traffic by Cisco

switches, routers and firewalls . Cisco TrustSec is defined in three phases: classification,

propagation and enforcement.

When users and devices connect to a network, the network assigns a specific security group. This

process is called classification. Classification can be based on the results of the authentication

or by associating the SGT with an IP, VLAN, or port-profile (-> Answer 'security group tag

ACL assigned to each port on a switch' and answer 'security group tag number assigned to each

user on a switch' are not correct as they say ''assigned ... on a switch'' only. Answer 'security group

tag ACL assigned to each router on a network' is not correct either as it says ''assigned to each

router'').
