IKE is the control/keying exchange. Actual protected payload traffic is carried under ESP security associations.

Peer authentication belongs to secure tunnel establishment; ESP packet protection does not make peer-authentication policy optional.

This reverses the two functions: IKE handles authenticated peer negotiation and keying; ESP applies the negotiated packet protection to user data.

A /16 is even less specific and cannot isolate the chosen host from neighboring networks.

That /24 diverts all destinations in the subnet, not the single host specified in the requirement.

A default route impacts unmatched destinations broadly and is less targeted than the requested host route.

Higher power can expand interference and contention rather than increase the shared channel’s airtime capacity.

Authentication policy is not the cause of adjacent APs contending on one RF channel and weakens security.

A separate SSID may segregate users but shares the same congested RF channel and contention domain, so it does not recover lost airtime.

Separate ports do not create a separate aggregate power budget; all eight draw from switch PoE resources.

PoE allocation depends on electrical demand and switch capabilities, separate from Ethernet throughput.

Network bandwidth cannot satisfy an electrical power shortage; increase PoE capacity or reduce actual demand.

Link speed does not create NAT role association; an otherwise working route can still lack translations.

Removing PAT changes translation behavior but cannot compensate for an unmarked LAN interface.

Both sides being inside removes the expected inside-to-outside direction and does not repair role classification.

A compliance comparison cannot modify Layer 2 frame integrity checks or wire formats.

Comparing configuration snapshots does not influence real-time packet forwarding or link selection.

A one-time push may initially converge devices, but it cannot identify unauthorized drift that appears after deployment or alert the team about exceptions.

A larger address range is less specific, not preferred when a more-specific matching route is installed.

Interfaces do not govern longest-prefix comparison; the destination address selects the most-specific installed route.

Entry creation time is not the routing-table forwarding selection rule when both prefixes match.

That is the shutdown mode behavior, not the normal restrict action.

Restrict mode is designed to block violating frames, not forward them.

A configured secure MAC maximum remains enforced; restrict does not raise that limit.

A hypervisor and host services still require resources in addition to guest reservations.

Oversubscription may be possible under policies but cannot guarantee dedicated physical reservation above installed capacity.

Memory reservations consume compute host capacity rather than switch link bandwidth.

Secondary IP configuration does not satisfy SVI autostate when there is no active Layer 2 path in the relevant VLAN.

Routing advertisement cannot bring a down VLAN interface into the forwarding state; first correct the L2 membership or trunk eligibility.

An SVI is itself the gateway; replacing its IP with a default value does not solve autostate.

ARP is link-local; routers do not normally discover remote subnet host MACs across routed hops.

R1 builds a new link-layer frame for its own outgoing segment using its resolved neighboring device.

The router forwards ordinary unicast IP using unicast next-hop MAC resolution, not Ethernet broadcast per packet.
