Cisco 350-401 Practice Test 60

Question 590

A router advertises Telnet on VTY lines, exposing administrative credentials across a shared management transit. The incident evidence is: The router still accepts plaintext Telnet sessions after the administrator creates an RSA key. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Enable SSH version 2 with appropriate local/domain keys and restrict VTY transport input to SSH.
  2. Bind an appropriate standard access-class to VTY management connections from the approved source subnet.
  3. Set the required hostname/domain and generate supported SSH host keys before limiting VTY access.
  4. Create local administrator usernames with appropriately protected secrets and make the VTY lines use local login under SSH.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The required correction is: Enable SSH version 2 with appropriate local/domain keys and restrict VTY transport input to SSH. The underlying failure mechanism is: VTY transport input still permits Telnet despite SSH being configured. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: attempt Telnet and SSH connections from an approved host and confirm only encrypted SSH is accepted.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Bind an appropriate standard access-class to VTY management connections from the approved source subnet would not enable SSH version 2 with appropriate local/domain keys and restrict VTY transport input to SSH.

C:

Setting the required hostname/domain and generating supported SSH host keys would not enable SSH version 2 with appropriate local/domain keys and restrict VTY transport input to SSH.

D:

Creating local administrator usernames with appropriately protected secrets and making the VTY lines use local login under SSH would not enable SSH version 2 with appropriate local/domain keys and restrict VTY transport input to SSH.

Question 591

A router advertises Telnet on VTY lines, exposing administrative credentials across a shared management transit. The proposed remedy is: Enable SSH version 2 with appropriate local/domain keys and restrict VTY transport input to SSH. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Attempt SSH from an allowed jump host and a disallowed user subnet without disturbing data-plane traffic.
  2. Inspect VTY authentication settings and verify a named account succeeds while an unknown account is rejected.
  3. Attempt Telnet and SSH connections from an approved host and confirm only encrypted SSH is accepted.
  4. Inspect SSH server version/key status and complete a secure login from an authorized station.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Attempt Telnet and SSH connections from an approved host and confirm only encrypted SSH is accepted. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: the router still accepts plaintext Telnet sessions after the administrator creates an RSA key.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Attempt SSH from an allowed jump host and a disallowed user subnet without disturbing data-plane traffic. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: attempt Telnet and SSH connections from an approved host and confirm only encrypted SSH is accepted.

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect VTY authentication settings and verify a named account succeeds while an unknown account is rejected. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: attempt Telnet and SSH connections from an approved host and confirm only encrypted SSH is accepted.

D:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect SSH server version/key status and complete a secure login from an authorized station. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: attempt Telnet and SSH connections from an approved host and confirm only encrypted SSH is accepted.

Question 592

A router advertises Telnet on VTY lines, exposing administrative credentials across a shared management transit. During troubleshooting: The router still accepts plaintext Telnet sessions after the administrator creates an RSA key. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. No effective source ACL is applied to VTY management access.
  2. The SSH server lacks required host key material or device identity prerequisites.
  3. The VTY lines use line password login rather than `login local` against named accounts.
  4. VTY transport input still permits Telnet despite SSH being configured.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The actual technical cause is: VTY transport input still permits Telnet despite SSH being configured. It specifically explains the observation: the router still accepts plaintext Telnet sessions after the administrator creates an RSA key. The correcting configuration is: enable SSH version 2 with appropriate local/domain keys and restrict VTY transport input to SSH.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A workstation from an untrusted user VLAN can open the switch SSH login prompt. Here the recorded observation is: the router still accepts plaintext Telnet sessions after the administrator creates an RSA key. The applicable cause is: vTY transport input still permits Telnet despite SSH being configured.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: SSH cannot start even though a local account and VTY login method exist. Here the recorded observation is: the router still accepts plaintext Telnet sessions after the administrator creates an RSA key. The applicable cause is: vTY transport input still permits Telnet despite SSH being configured.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: An operator logs in with a shared line password without any user-specific accountability. Here the recorded observation is: the router still accepts plaintext Telnet sessions after the administrator creates an RSA key. The applicable cause is: vTY transport input still permits Telnet despite SSH being configured.

Question 593

A router advertises Telnet on VTY lines, exposing administrative credentials across a shared management transit. The initial change is: Enable SSH version 2 with appropriate local/domain keys and restrict VTY transport input to SSH. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: The router still accepts plaintext Telnet sessions after the administrator creates an RSA key.

  1. Review transport-input policy and management-path encryption after image upgrades.
  2. Plan key regeneration and supported minimum key length during device replacement.
  3. Maintain management subnet allowlists and test negative-source access after site changes.
  4. Audit named account lifecycle and remove unused break-glass credentials.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The continuing protective control is: Review transport-input policy and management-path encryption after image upgrades. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: vTY transport input still permits Telnet despite SSH being configured. The corresponding operational check is: attempt Telnet and SSH connections from an approved host and confirm only encrypted SSH is accepted.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That control reduces a separate risk: The SSH server lacks required host key material or device identity prerequisites. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: vTY transport input still permits Telnet despite SSH being configured. The specific required safeguard is: review transport-input policy and management-path encryption after image upgrades.

C:

That control reduces a separate risk: No effective source ACL is applied to VTY management access. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: vTY transport input still permits Telnet despite SSH being configured. The specific required safeguard is: review transport-input policy and management-path encryption after image upgrades.

D:

That control reduces a separate risk: The VTY lines use line password login rather than `login local` against named accounts. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: vTY transport input still permits Telnet despite SSH being configured. The specific required safeguard is: review transport-input policy and management-path encryption after image upgrades.

Question 594

A branch switch needs SSH management but `crypto key generate rsa` fails because hostname/domain identification is incomplete on the platform. The incident evidence is: SSH cannot start even though a local account and VTY login method exist. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Set the required hostname/domain and generate supported SSH host keys before limiting VTY access.
  2. Enable SSH version 2 with appropriate local/domain keys and restrict VTY transport input to SSH.
  3. Bind an appropriate standard access-class to VTY management connections from the approved source subnet.
  4. Configure supported login security controls such as quiet-mode thresholds and login block-for on the appropriate IOS release.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The required correction is: Set the required hostname/domain and generate supported SSH host keys before limiting VTY access. The underlying failure mechanism is: The SSH server lacks required host key material or device identity prerequisites. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect SSH server version/key status and complete a secure login from an authorized station.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Enabling SSH version 2 with appropriate local/domain keys and restricting VTY transport input to SSH would not set the required hostname/domain and generate supported SSH host keys.

C:

Bind an appropriate standard access-class to VTY management connections from the approved source subnet would not set the required hostname/domain and generate supported SSH host keys.

D:

Configuring supported login security controls such as quiet-mode thresholds and login block-for on the appropriate IOS release would not set the required hostname/domain and generate supported SSH host keys.

Question 595

A branch switch needs SSH management but `crypto key generate rsa` fails because hostname/domain identification is incomplete on the platform. The proposed remedy is: Set the required hostname/domain and generate supported SSH host keys before limiting VTY access. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Generate controlled failed logins and confirm a temporary lockout with useful audit events.
  2. Attempt SSH from an allowed jump host and a disallowed user subnet without disturbing data-plane traffic.
  3. Attempt Telnet and SSH connections from an approved host and confirm only encrypted SSH is accepted.
  4. Inspect SSH server version/key status and complete a secure login from an authorized station.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Inspect SSH server version/key status and complete a secure login from an authorized station. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: sSH cannot start even though a local account and VTY login method exist.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Generate controlled failed logins and confirm a temporary lockout with useful audit events. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect SSH server version/key status and complete a secure login from an authorized station.

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Attempt SSH from an allowed jump host and a disallowed user subnet without disturbing data-plane traffic. It does not establish the target outcome.

Question 596

A branch switch needs SSH management but `crypto key generate rsa` fails because hostname/domain identification is incomplete on the platform. During troubleshooting: SSH cannot start even though a local account and VTY login method exist. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. VTY transport input still permits Telnet despite SSH being configured.
  2. Login attack mitigation thresholds and enforcement were not configured for the VTY service.
  3. The SSH server lacks required host key material or device identity prerequisites.
  4. No effective source ACL is applied to VTY management access.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: The SSH server lacks required host key material or device identity prerequisites. It specifically explains the observation: sSH cannot start even though a local account and VTY login method exist. The correcting configuration is: set the required hostname/domain and generate supported SSH host keys before limiting VTY access.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The router still accepts plaintext Telnet sessions after the administrator creates an RSA key. Here the recorded observation is: sSH cannot start even though a local account and VTY login method exist. The applicable cause is: the SSH server lacks required host key material or device identity prerequisites.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: An external host attempts unlimited SSH passwords without temporary throttling. Here the recorded observation is: sSH cannot start even though a local account and VTY login method exist. The applicable cause is: the SSH server lacks required host key material or device identity prerequisites.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A workstation from an untrusted user VLAN can open the switch SSH login prompt. Here the recorded observation is: sSH cannot start even though a local account and VTY login method exist. The applicable cause is: the SSH server lacks required host key material or device identity prerequisites.

Question 597

A branch switch needs SSH management but `crypto key generate rsa` fails because hostname/domain identification is incomplete on the platform. Select TWO complementary decisions: the direct technical remedy and a safeguard against recurrence. A verification-only step cannot substitute for either action.

  1. Set the required hostname/domain and generate supported SSH host keys before limiting VTY access.
  2. Plan key regeneration and supported minimum key length during device replacement.
  3. Maintain management subnet allowlists and test negative-source access after site changes.
  4. Create local administrator usernames with appropriately protected secrets and make the VTY lines use local login under SSH.
  5. Enable SSH version 2 with appropriate local/domain keys and restrict VTY transport input to SSH.

Explanation

For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the SSH server lacks required host key material or device identity prerequisites. The specific required safeguard is: plan key regeneration and supported minimum key length during device replacement.

D:

A local login account supports authenticated SSH management, but it does not supply the hostname and domain prerequisites for RSA host-key creation.

E:

Enabling SSHv2 and limiting VTY transport does not fix the missing platform hostname/domain information that caused key generation to fail.

Question 598

An operator gains privileged exec access without a second secret after authenticating as a low-privilege line user. The incident evidence is: A read-only operations user can enter configuration mode without authorization. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Enable supported accounting/command logging for authenticated administrative sessions.
  2. Create local administrator usernames with appropriately protected secrets and make the VTY lines use local login under SSH.
  3. Configure an appropriate enable secret or per-user privilege/authorization boundary rather than trusting line authentication for all commands.
  4. Bind an appropriate standard access-class to VTY management connections from the approved source subnet.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The required correction is: Configure an appropriate enable secret or per-user privilege/authorization boundary rather than trusting line authentication for all commands. The underlying failure mechanism is: Privilege separation or enable-secret control is missing or overly permissive. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: test privileged configuration mode as both an authorized admin and a low-privilege operator.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The environment has login records but not privileged command accounting. Privilege separation or enable-secret control is missing or overly permissive.

B:

The VTY lines use line password login rather than `login local` against named accounts. Privilege separation or enable-secret control is missing or overly permissive.

D:

No effective source ACL is applied to VTY management access. Privilege separation or enable-secret control is missing or overly permissive.

Question 599

An operator gains privileged exec access without a second secret after authenticating as a low-privilege line user. The proposed remedy is: Configure an appropriate enable secret or per-user privilege/authorization boundary rather than trusting line authentication for all commands. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Test privileged configuration mode as both an authorized admin and a low-privilege operator.
  2. Make a benign configuration change and correlate the command event with the named operator.
  3. Inspect VTY authentication settings and verify a named account succeeds while an unknown account is rejected.
  4. Attempt SSH from an allowed jump host and a disallowed user subnet without disturbing data-plane traffic.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Test privileged configuration mode as both an authorized admin and a low-privilege operator. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: a read-only operations user can enter configuration mode without authorization.
