Question 660

A router should permit host192.0.2.10 to access HTTPS on server198.51.100.20 while denying all other sources to that server port. During troubleshooting: A general permit line above the intended deny lets every source use the server HTTPS service. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. ACL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries.
  2. The destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25.
  3. The ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction.
  4. Standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The actual technical cause is: ACL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries. It specifically explains the observation: a general permit line above the intended deny lets every source use the server HTTPS service. The correcting configuration is: apply an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted. Here the recorded observation is: a general permit line above the intended deny lets every source use the server HTTPS service. The applicable cause is: aCL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The blocked connection succeeds while a reverse-direction counter increases on an unrelated rule. Here the recorded observation is: a general permit line above the intended deny lets every source use the server HTTPS service. The applicable cause is: aCL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The broad standard ACL blocks all protocols from a source instead of only HTTPS. Here the recorded observation is: a general permit line above the intended deny lets every source use the server HTTPS service. The applicable cause is: aCL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries.

Question 661

A router should permit host192.0.2.10 to access HTTPS on server198.51.100.20 while denying all other sources to that server port. Select THREE complementary actions: the technical remedy, a direct verification, and the ongoing safeguard. Evidence from an unrelated mechanism is not a substitute for these three responsibilities.

  1. Apply an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction.
  2. Test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters.
  3. Inspect ACL syntax and test the intended port-specific application path.
  4. Review ACL top-down order and explicit control tests before applying to production interfaces.
  5. Keep source/destination tuples and enforcement interface in every ACL change record.
  6. Use destination wildcard0.0.0.127 with the approved /25 network in the extended ACL.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

The required correction is: Apply an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction. The underlying failure mechanism is: ACL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters.

B:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: a general permit line above the intended deny lets every source use the server HTTPS service.

D:

The continuing protective control is: Review ACL top-down order and explicit control tests before applying to production interfaces. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: aCL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries. The corresponding operational check is: test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters.

Incorrect Answers

C:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect ACL syntax and test the intended port-specific application path. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters.

E:

That control reduces a separate risk: The ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: aCL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries. The specific required safeguard is: review ACL top-down order and explicit control tests before applying to production interfaces.

F:

The needed correction is to apply an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction.

Question 662

A switch SVI needs to block inbound traffic from a malicious subnet but preserve return paths for legitimate applications. The incident evidence is: The hostile subnet still reaches the SVI because the ACL was applied outbound toward users. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Attach the ACL at an actual routed interface carrying the traffic in the intended direction.
  2. Configure a supported IPv6 ACL with required IPv6 matches and attach it using the correct IPv6 interface direction.
  3. Write explicit permitted return-flow conditions or use a supported stateful security feature where required.
  4. Apply an IPv4 ACL with appropriate source/destination matching on the ingress SVI for the documented flow direction.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The required correction is: Apply an IPv4 ACL with appropriate source/destination matching on the ingress SVI for the documented flow direction. The underlying failure mechanism is: ACL interface direction was reversed relative to arriving attack packets. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect inbound ACL counters and successful permitted traffic in the unaffected direction.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Attaching the ACL at an actual routed interface carrying the traffic in the intended direction would not apply an IPv4 ACL with appropriate source/destination matching on the ingress SVI for the documented flow direction.

B:

Configuring a supported IPv6 ACL with required IPv6 matches and attaching it using the correct IPv6 interface direction would not apply an IPv4 ACL with appropriate source/destination matching on the ingress SVI for the documented flow direction.

C:

Write explicit permitted return-flow conditions or use a supported stateful security feature where required would not apply an IPv4 ACL with appropriate source/destination matching on the ingress SVI for the documented flow direction.

Question 663

A switch SVI needs to block inbound traffic from a malicious subnet but preserve return paths for legitimate applications. The proposed remedy is: Apply an IPv4 ACL with appropriate source/destination matching on the ingress SVI for the documented flow direction. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Check IPv6 ACL counters and SSH reachability from allowed and denied IPv6 sources.
  2. Inspect inbound ACL counters and successful permitted traffic in the unaffected direction.
  3. Run interface counters and a controlled deny test on the true forwarding path.
  4. Inspect ACL syntax and test the intended port-specific application path.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Inspect inbound ACL counters and successful permitted traffic in the unaffected direction. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: the hostile subnet still reaches the SVI because the ACL was applied outbound toward users.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Check IPv6 ACL counters and SSH reachability from allowed and denied IPv6 sources. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect inbound ACL counters and successful permitted traffic in the unaffected direction.

C:

This test measures a different behavior: Run interface counters and a controlled deny test on the true forwarding path. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect inbound ACL counters and successful permitted traffic in the unaffected direction.

D:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect ACL syntax and test the intended port-specific application path. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect inbound ACL counters and successful permitted traffic in the unaffected direction.

Question 664

A switch SVI needs to block inbound traffic from a malicious subnet but preserve return paths for legitimate applications. During troubleshooting: The hostile subnet still reaches the SVI because the ACL was applied outbound toward users. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. Standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy.
  2. The IPv4 ACL does not independently filter IPv6 traffic.
  3. The ACL was applied on a logical interface outside the flow's forwarding path.
  4. ACL interface direction was reversed relative to arriving attack packets.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The actual technical cause is: ACL interface direction was reversed relative to arriving attack packets. It specifically explains the observation: the hostile subnet still reaches the SVI because the ACL was applied outbound toward users. The correcting configuration is: apply an IPv4 ACL with appropriate source/destination matching on the ingress SVI for the documented flow direction.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The broad standard ACL blocks all protocols from a source instead of only HTTPS. Here the recorded observation is: the hostile subnet still reaches the SVI because the ACL was applied outbound toward users. The applicable cause is: aCL interface direction was reversed relative to arriving attack packets.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: IPv6 management traffic remains open even though an IPv4 `ip access-group` exists. Here the recorded observation is: the hostile subnet still reaches the SVI because the ACL was applied outbound toward users. The applicable cause is: aCL interface direction was reversed relative to arriving attack packets.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Disallowed traffic continues through the active VLAN interface without any ACL hits. Here the recorded observation is: the hostile subnet still reaches the SVI because the ACL was applied outbound toward users. The applicable cause is: aCL interface direction was reversed relative to arriving attack packets.

Question 665

A switch SVI needs to block inbound traffic from a malicious subnet but preserve return paths for legitimate applications. The initial change is: Apply an IPv4 ACL with appropriate source/destination matching on the ingress SVI for the documented flow direction. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: The hostile subnet still reaches the SVI because the ACL was applied outbound toward users.

  1. Document direction using source-to-destination packet diagrams in ACL reviews.
  2. Choose ACL type based on actual match fields, not just whether an ACL number is available.
  3. Verify real interface forwarding membership after VLAN and gateway migrations.
  4. Audit ACL coverage for both IPv4 and IPv6 when deploying dual-stack management.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The continuing protective control is: Document direction using source-to-destination packet diagrams in ACL reviews. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: aCL interface direction was reversed relative to arriving attack packets. The corresponding operational check is: inspect inbound ACL counters and successful permitted traffic in the unaffected direction.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That control reduces a separate risk: Standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: aCL interface direction was reversed relative to arriving attack packets. The specific required safeguard is: document direction using source-to-destination packet diagrams in ACL reviews.

C:

For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: aCL interface direction was reversed relative to arriving attack packets. The specific required safeguard is: document direction using source-to-destination packet diagrams in ACL reviews.

D:

The specific required safeguard is: document direction using source-to-destination packet diagrams in ACL reviews.

Question 666

A router has an extended ACL that appears to permit DNS but denies TCP53 zone-transfer traffic expected from authorized secondaries. The incident evidence is: Ordinary DNS queries work but secondary DNS zone transfers fail. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Order specific management permits before broader deny entries in the ingress ACL.
  2. Account for both required UDP and TCP DNS flows with scoped service entries for approved peers.
  3. Rewrite or place the extended ACL for the actual forward packet tuple at the ingress enforcement point.
  4. Apply an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The required correction is: Account for both required UDP and TCP DNS flows with scoped service entries for approved peers. The underlying failure mechanism is: The ACL permits UDP53 but omits the required TCP53 flow. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: test UDP queries and an authorized TCP zone transfer, checking ACL hit counts.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Order specific management permits would not address the need for DNS configuration. The ACL permits UDP53 but omits the required TCP53 flow.

C:

The needed correction is to account for both required UDP and TCP DNS flows with scoped service entries for approved peers.

D:

Applying an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction would not address the need for DNS configuration.

Question 667

A router has an extended ACL that appears to permit DNS but denies TCP53 zone-transfer traffic expected from authorized secondaries. The proposed remedy is: Account for both required UDP and TCP DNS flows with scoped service entries for approved peers. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Trace a single TCP SYN and verify the intended ACL entry increments on the correct interface.
  2. Test UDP queries and an authorized TCP zone transfer, checking ACL hit counts.
  3. Inspect ordered ACL entries and hit counts for allowed management and blocked user hosts.
  4. Test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Test UDP queries and an authorized TCP zone transfer, checking ACL hit counts. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: ordinary DNS queries work but secondary DNS zone transfers fail.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Trace a single TCP SYN and verify the intended ACL entry increments on the correct interface. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: test UDP queries and an authorized TCP zone transfer, checking ACL hit counts.

C:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect ordered ACL entries and hit counts for allowed management and blocked user hosts. It does not establish the target outcome.

Question 668

A router has an extended ACL that appears to permit DNS but denies TCP53 zone-transfer traffic expected from authorized secondaries. During troubleshooting: Ordinary DNS queries work but secondary DNS zone transfers fail. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction.
  2. ACL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit.
  3. The ACL permits UDP53 but omits the required TCP53 flow.
  4. ACL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: The ACL permits UDP53 but omits the required TCP53 flow. It specifically explains the observation: ordinary DNS queries work but secondary DNS zone transfers fail. The correcting configuration is: account for both required UDP and TCP DNS flows with scoped service entries for approved peers.

Here the recorded observation is: ordinary DNS queries work but secondary DNS zone transfers fail. The applicable cause is: the ACL permits UDP53 but omits the required TCP53 flow.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: SSH from an approved jump box is denied despite a permit statement lower in the list. Here the recorded observation is: ordinary DNS queries work but secondary DNS zone transfers fail. The applicable cause is: the ACL permits UDP53 but omits the required TCP53 flow.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A general permit line above the intended deny lets every source use the server HTTPS service. Here the recorded observation is: ordinary DNS queries work but secondary DNS zone transfers fail. The applicable cause is: the ACL permits UDP53 but omits the required TCP53 flow.

Question 669

A router has an extended ACL that appears to permit DNS but denies TCP53 zone-transfer traffic expected from authorized secondaries. The initial change is: Account for both required UDP and TCP DNS flows with scoped service entries for approved peers. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: Ordinary DNS queries work but secondary DNS zone transfers fail.

  1. Run first-match policy analysis before ACL changes on production management interfaces.
  2. Review ACL top-down order and explicit control tests before applying to production interfaces.
  3. Review protocol requirements and allowed DNS peer scope before applying service ACLs.
  4. Keep source/destination tuples and enforcement interface in every ACL change record.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The continuing protective control is: Review protocol requirements and allowed DNS peer scope before applying service ACLs. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the ACL permits UDP53 but omits the required TCP53 flow. The corresponding operational check is: test UDP queries and an authorized TCP zone transfer, checking ACL hit counts.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: ACL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit.

Question 670

A firewall uplink ACL includes only permit statements and the engineer assumes unmatched traffic is implicitly allowed. The incident evidence is: A new application fails because no permit exists for its destination in the applied ACL. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Apply an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction.
  2. Order specific management permits before broader deny entries in the ingress ACL.
  3. Attach the ACL at an actual routed interface carrying the traffic in the intended direction.
  4. Add required explicit permits before relying on the ACL's implicit deny for other packets.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The required correction is: Add required explicit permits before relying on the ACL's implicit deny for other packets. The underlying failure mechanism is: The implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: test a matching allowed flow and an unlisted flow to verify expected accept/drop behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Applying an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction would not add required explicit permits.

B:

Order specific management permits would not add required explicit permits. The implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic.

C:

Attaching the ACL at an actual routed interface carrying the traffic in the intended direction would not add required explicit permits. The implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic.
