Question 640

TACACS+ returns Access-Reject for an unauthorized engineer, and operators expect local fallback to override the explicit rejection. During troubleshooting: The rejected engineer remains denied despite valid local credentials configured on the router. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The AAA server group lacks a usable secondary or uses the wrong server group reference.
  2. The AAA method list provides no valid local fallback for AAA server errors.
  3. An authoritative TACACS+ rejection is not the same condition as server unavailability.
  4. Only authentication was centralized; privileged command authorization was not enforced.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: An authoritative TACACS+ rejection is not the same condition as server unavailability. It specifically explains the observation: the rejected engineer remains denied despite valid local credentials configured on the router. The correcting configuration is: respect the AAA method's explicit deny; reserve local fallback for unreachable/error conditions as supported.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Remote administration fails whenever the first configured TACACS+ server is unavailable. Here the recorded observation is: the rejected engineer remains denied despite valid local credentials configured on the router. The applicable cause is: an authoritative TACACS+ rejection is not the same condition as server unavailability.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: All router administration fails when the TACACS+ server becomes unreachable. Here the recorded observation is: the rejected engineer remains denied despite valid local credentials configured on the router. The applicable cause is: an authoritative TACACS+ rejection is not the same condition as server unavailability.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A viewer who authenticated with TACACS+ can configure router interfaces. Here the recorded observation is: the rejected engineer remains denied despite valid local credentials configured on the router. The applicable cause is: an authoritative TACACS+ rejection is not the same condition as server unavailability.

Question 641

TACACS+ returns Access-Reject for an unauthorized engineer, and operators expect local fallback to override the explicit rejection. The initial change is: Respect the AAA method's explicit deny; reserve local fallback for unreachable/error conditions as supported. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: The rejected engineer remains denied despite valid local credentials configured on the router.

  1. Check failover order and independent server-path reachability at each site.
  2. Test role-to-command mappings after changing TACACS+ shell profiles.
  3. Validate emergency fallback without creating a bypass for deliberate centralized denies.
  4. Test server-error versus explicit-deny handling and keep local credentials vaulted.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The continuing protective control is: Validate emergency fallback without creating a bypass for deliberate centralized denies. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: an authoritative TACACS+ rejection is not the same condition as server unavailability. The corresponding operational check is: test one explicit server-rejected login and one server-unreachable login to distinguish behaviors.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: The AAA server group lacks a usable secondary or uses the wrong server group reference. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: an authoritative TACACS+ rejection is not the same condition as server unavailability. The specific required safeguard is: validate emergency fallback without creating a bypass for deliberate centralized denies.

B:

That control reduces a separate risk: Only authentication was centralized; privileged command authorization was not enforced. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: an authoritative TACACS+ rejection is not the same condition as server unavailability. The specific required safeguard is: validate emergency fallback without creating a bypass for deliberate centralized denies.

D:

That control reduces a separate risk: The AAA method list provides no valid local fallback for AAA server errors. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: an authoritative TACACS+ rejection is not the same condition as server unavailability. The specific required safeguard is: validate emergency fallback without creating a bypass for deliberate centralized denies.

Question 642

A network device is configured with an AAA named login list but engineers apply it only to console lines, leaving VTY lines on a shared password. The incident evidence is: Remote SSH ignores TACACS+ authentication while console login correctly uses it. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Use a suitable TACACS+ device-administration integration when granular command authorization is required.
  2. Enable AAA command accounting to an appropriate TACACS+ server with required privilege levels.
  3. Attach the correct AAA login method list to VTY lines as well as the intended console scope.
  4. Configure a supported AAA server group with reachable primary and secondary TACACS+ server definitions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The required correction is: Attach the correct AAA login method list to VTY lines as well as the intended console scope. The underlying failure mechanism is: The named method list was not bound to the VTY line configuration. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect each line's method-list binding and verify SSH login uses the centralized identity.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Using a suitable TACACS+ device-administration integration when granular command authorization is required would not attach the correct AAA login method list to VTY lines as well as the intended console scope.

B:

Enabling AAA command accounting to an appropriate TACACS+ server with required privilege levels would not attach the correct AAA login method list to VTY lines as well as the intended console scope.

D:

Configuring a supported AAA server group with reachable primary and secondary TACACS+ server definitions would not attach the correct AAA login method list to VTY lines as well as the intended console scope.

Question 643

A network device is configured with an AAA named login list but engineers apply it only to console lines, leaving VTY lines on a shared password. The proposed remedy is: Attach the correct AAA login method list to VTY lines as well as the intended console scope. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Inspect each line's method-list binding and verify SSH login uses the centralized identity.
  2. Test a low-privilege administrative login and verify denied commands are enforced at the device.
  3. Disable the primary in a lab and confirm the device authenticates against the secondary server.
  4. Simulate server unreachability and verify local break-glass login; then test explicit TACACS+ reject behavior.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Inspect each line's method-list binding and verify SSH login uses the centralized identity. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: remote SSH ignores TACACS+ authentication while console login correctly uses it.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Test a low-privilege administrative login and verify denied commands are enforced at the device. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect each line's method-list binding and verify SSH login uses the centralized identity.

C:

This test measures a different behavior: Disable the primary in a lab and confirm the device authenticates against the secondary server. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect each line's method-list binding and verify SSH login uses the centralized identity.

Question 644

A network device is configured with an AAA named login list but engineers apply it only to console lines, leaving VTY lines on a shared password. During troubleshooting: Remote SSH ignores TACACS+ authentication while console login correctly uses it. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. RADIUS network-access AAA was conflated with TACACS+ granular device-command authorization.
  2. The AAA server group lacks a usable secondary or uses the wrong server group reference.
  3. The named method list was not bound to the VTY line configuration.
  4. The AAA method list provides no valid local fallback for AAA server errors.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: The named method list was not bound to the VTY line configuration. It specifically explains the observation: remote SSH ignores TACACS+ authentication while console login correctly uses it. The correcting configuration is: attach the correct AAA login method list to VTY lines as well as the intended console scope.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: An administrative user receives broad CLI access because the RADIUS design lacks the intended command-by-command policy. Here the recorded observation is: remote SSH ignores TACACS+ authentication while console login correctly uses it. The applicable cause is: the named method list was not bound to the VTY line configuration.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Remote administration fails whenever the first configured TACACS+ server is unavailable. Here the recorded observation is: remote SSH ignores TACACS+ authentication while console login correctly uses it. The applicable cause is: the named method list was not bound to the VTY line configuration.

D:

Question 645

A network device is configured with an AAA named login list but engineers apply it only to console lines, leaving VTY lines on a shared password. The initial change is: Attach the correct AAA login method list to VTY lines as well as the intended console scope. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: Remote SSH ignores TACACS+ authentication while console login correctly uses it.

  1. Test server-error versus explicit-deny handling and keep local credentials vaulted.
  2. Separate network-access RADIUS policies from device-admin TACACS+ requirements.
  3. Check failover order and independent server-path reachability at each site.
  4. Review all line and management transport types when deploying AAA templates.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The continuing protective control is: Review all line and management transport types when deploying AAA templates. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the named method list was not bound to the VTY line configuration. The corresponding operational check is: inspect each line's method-list binding and verify SSH login uses the centralized identity.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: The AAA method list provides no valid local fallback for AAA server errors. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the named method list was not bound to the VTY line configuration. The specific required safeguard is: review all line and management transport types when deploying AAA templates.

Question 646

Two independent TACACS+ servers serve a WAN site, and loss of the first must not block supported administrative login. The incident evidence is: Remote administration fails whenever the first configured TACACS+ server is unavailable. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Specify supported AAA source-interface/VRF settings so requests use a reachable address with registered client policy.
  2. Configure a supported AAA server group with reachable primary and secondary TACACS+ server definitions.
  3. Create an AAA login method list with TACACS+ first and local fallback for server error cases.
  4. Enable supported AAA exec and command authorization through TACACS+ policy with appropriate emergency fallback.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The required correction is: Configure a supported AAA server group with reachable primary and secondary TACACS+ server definitions. The underlying failure mechanism is: The AAA server group lacks a usable secondary or uses the wrong server group reference. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: disable the primary in a lab and confirm the device authenticates against the secondary server.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Specifying supported AAA source-interface/VRF settings so requests use a reachable address with registered client policy would not configure a supported AAA server group with reachable primary and secondary TACACS+ server definitions.

C:

Creating an AAA login method list with TACACS+ first and local fallback for server error cases would not configure a supported AAA server group with reachable primary and secondary TACACS+ server definitions.

D:

Enabling supported AAA exec and command authorization through TACACS+ policy with appropriate emergency fallback would not configure a supported AAA server group with reachable primary and secondary TACACS+ server definitions.

Question 647

Two independent TACACS+ servers serve a WAN site, and loss of the first must not block supported administrative login. The proposed remedy is: Configure a supported AAA server group with reachable primary and secondary TACACS+ server definitions. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Simulate server unreachability and verify local break-glass login; then test explicit TACACS+ reject behavior.
  2. Capture AAA packet source address and confirm responses return to the intended VRF interface.
  3. Disable the primary in a lab and confirm the device authenticates against the secondary server.
  4. Run an allowed show command and a forbidden configuration command for a limited operator; inspect server authorization logs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:
