Cisco 350-401 Practice Test 68

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.

Question 671

A firewall uplink ACL includes only permit statements and the engineer assumes unmatched traffic is implicitly allowed. The proposed remedy is: Add required explicit permits before relying on the ACL's implicit deny for other packets. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Test a matching allowed flow and an unlisted flow to verify expected accept/drop behavior.
  2. Test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters.
  3. Run interface counters and a controlled deny test on the true forwarding path.
  4. Inspect ordered ACL entries and hit counts for allowed management and blocked user hosts.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Test a matching allowed flow and an unlisted flow to verify expected accept/drop behavior. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: a new application fails because no permit exists for its destination in the applied ACL.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: test a matching allowed flow and an unlisted flow to verify expected accept/drop behavior.

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: test a matching allowed flow and an unlisted flow to verify expected accept/drop behavior.

D:

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. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: test a matching allowed flow and an unlisted flow to verify expected accept/drop behavior.

Question 672

A firewall uplink ACL includes only permit statements and the engineer assumes unmatched traffic is implicitly allowed. During troubleshooting: A new application fails because no permit exists for its destination in the applied ACL. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The ACL was applied on a logical interface outside the flow's forwarding path.
  2. ACL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit.
  3. The implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic.
  4. ACL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: The implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic. It specifically explains the observation: a new application fails because no permit exists for its destination in the applied ACL. The correcting configuration is: add required explicit permits before relying on the ACL's implicit deny for other packets.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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: a new application fails because no permit exists for its destination in the applied ACL. The applicable cause is: the implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic.

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: a new application fails because no permit exists for its destination in the applied ACL. The applicable cause is: the implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic.

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: a new application fails because no permit exists for its destination in the applied ACL. The applicable cause is: the implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic.

Question 673

A firewall uplink ACL includes only permit statements and the engineer assumes unmatched traffic is implicitly allowed. The initial change is: Add required explicit permits before relying on the ACL's implicit deny for other packets. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: A new application fails because no permit exists for its destination in the applied ACL.

  1. Verify real interface forwarding membership after VLAN and gateway migrations.
  2. Review implicit-deny impact and stage new service permits before enabling ACLs.
  3. Review ACL top-down order and explicit control tests before applying to production interfaces.
  4. Run first-match policy analysis before ACL changes on production management interfaces.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The continuing protective control is: Review implicit-deny impact and stage new service permits before enabling ACLs. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic. The corresponding operational check is: test a matching allowed flow and an unlisted flow to verify expected accept/drop behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: The ACL was applied on a logical interface outside the flow's forwarding path. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic. The specific required safeguard is: review implicit-deny impact and stage new service permits before enabling ACLs.

C:

That control reduces a separate risk: ACL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic. The specific required safeguard is: review implicit-deny impact and stage new service permits before enabling ACLs.

D:

That control reduces a separate risk: ACL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic. The specific required safeguard is: review implicit-deny impact and stage new service permits before enabling ACLs.

Question 674

A policy must deny access to one host inside a /24 but an ACL wildcard mask matches the entire subnet. The incident evidence is: The entire subnet is denied when only a single host should be blocked. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Configure a supported IPv6 ACL with required IPv6 matches and attach it using the correct IPv6 interface direction.
  2. Order specific management permits before broader deny entries in the ingress ACL.
  3. Choose the correct host-specific wildcard mask 0.0.0.0 or host syntax for the intended address.
  4. Apply an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The required correction is: Choose the correct host-specific wildcard mask 0.0.0.0 or host syntax for the intended address. The underlying failure mechanism is: The wildcard mask broadened source matching beyond the single IP address. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: check ACL line match counters for the blocked host and another allowed address in the same /24.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Configuring a supported IPv6 ACL with required IPv6 matches and attaching it using the correct IPv6 interface direction would not meet the need for the correct host-specific wildcard mask 0.0.0.0 or host syntax for the intended address.

B:

Order specific management permits would not meet the need for the correct host-specific wildcard mask 0.0.0.0 or host syntax for the intended address.

D:

Applying an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction would not meet the need for the correct host-specific wildcard mask 0.0.0.0 or host syntax for the intended address.

Question 675

A policy must deny access to one host inside a /24 but an ACL wildcard mask matches the entire subnet. The proposed remedy is: Choose the correct host-specific wildcard mask 0.0.0.0 or host syntax for the intended address. 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 ordered ACL entries and hit counts for allowed management and blocked user hosts.
  3. Check ACL line match counters for the blocked host and another allowed address in the same /24.
  4. Test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Check ACL line match counters for the blocked host and another allowed address in the same /24. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: the entire subnet is denied when only a single host should be blocked.

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: check ACL line match counters for the blocked host and another allowed address in the same /24.

B:

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. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: check ACL line match counters for the blocked host and another allowed address in the same /24.

D:

This test measures a different behavior: Test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: check ACL line match counters for the blocked host and another allowed address in the same /24.

Question 676

A policy must deny access to one host inside a /24 but an ACL wildcard mask matches the entire subnet. During troubleshooting: The entire subnet is denied when only a single host should be blocked. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. ACL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit.
  2. The IPv4 ACL does not independently filter IPv6 traffic.
  3. The wildcard mask broadened source matching beyond the single IP address.
  4. ACL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: The wildcard mask broadened source matching beyond the single IP address. It specifically explains the observation: the entire subnet is denied when only a single host should be blocked. The correcting configuration is: choose the correct host-specific wildcard mask 0.0.0.0 or host syntax for the intended address.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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: the entire subnet is denied when only a single host should be blocked. The applicable cause is: the wildcard mask broadened source matching beyond the single IP address.

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 entire subnet is denied when only a single host should be blocked. The applicable cause is: the wildcard mask broadened source matching beyond the single IP address.

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: the entire subnet is denied when only a single host should be blocked. The applicable cause is: the wildcard mask broadened source matching beyond the single IP address.

Question 677

A policy must deny access to one host inside a /24 but an ACL wildcard mask matches the entire subnet. Select TWO complementary decisions: the direct technical remedy and a safeguard against recurrence. A verification-only step cannot substitute for either action.

  1. Test wildcard-mask boundaries with representative positive and negative addresses.
  2. Audit ACL coverage for both IPv4 and IPv6 when deploying dual-stack management.
  3. Apply an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction.
  4. Order specific management permits before broader deny entries in the ingress ACL.
  5. Choose the correct host-specific wildcard mask 0.0.0.0 or host syntax for the intended address.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

The continuing protective control is: Test wildcard-mask boundaries with representative positive and negative addresses. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the wildcard mask broadened source matching beyond the single IP address. The corresponding operational check is: check ACL line match counters for the blocked host and another allowed address in the same /24.

E:

The required correction is: Choose the correct host-specific wildcard mask 0.0.0.0 or host syntax for the intended address. The underlying failure mechanism is: The wildcard mask broadened source matching beyond the single IP address. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: check ACL line match counters for the blocked host and another allowed address in the same /24.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That control reduces a separate risk: The IPv4 ACL does not independently filter IPv6 traffic. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the wildcard mask broadened source matching beyond the single IP address. The specific required safeguard is: test wildcard-mask boundaries with representative positive and negative addresses.

C:

A TCP/443 extended-ACL tuple addresses a different port-specific filtering task, not the wildcard mask that unintentionally includes the whole /24.

D:

ACL permit/deny order matters, but changing rule order does not narrow a subnet-wide wildcard match to one intended host.

Question 678

One ACL should allow branch192.0.2.0/24 to reach application198.51.100.0/25 but the administrator uses wildcard0.0.0.255 for destination. The incident evidence is: Hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted. 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. Use an extended ACL for source, destination, protocol and destination port matching.
  3. Use destination wildcard0.0.0.127 with the approved /25 network in the extended ACL.
  4. Account for both required UDP and TCP DNS flows with scoped service entries for approved peers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The required correction is: Use destination wildcard0.0.0.127 with the approved /25 network in the extended ACL. The underlying failure mechanism is: The destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: test the last address inside /25 and the first address in the adjacent /25.

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 meet the need for destination wildcard0.0.0.127 with the approved /25 network in the extended ACL.

B:

Using an extended ACL for source, destination, protocol and destination port matching would not meet the need for destination wildcard0.0.0.127 with the approved /25 network in the extended ACL.

D:

DNS configuration would not meet the need for destination wildcard0.0.0.127 with the approved /25 network in the extended ACL. The destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25.

Question 679

One ACL should allow branch192.0.2.0/24 to reach application198.51.100.0/25 but the administrator uses wildcard0.0.0.255 for destination. The proposed remedy is: Use destination wildcard0.0.0.127 with the approved /25 network in the extended ACL. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Inspect ACL syntax and test the intended port-specific application path.
  2. Test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters.
  3. Test UDP queries and an authorized TCP zone transfer, checking ACL hit counts.
  4. Test the last address inside /25 and the first address in the adjacent /25.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Test the last address inside /25 and the first address in the adjacent /25. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 the last address inside /25 and the first address in the adjacent /25.

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: test the last address inside /25 and the first address in the adjacent /25.

C:

This test measures a different behavior: Test UDP queries and an authorized TCP zone transfer, checking ACL hit counts. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: test the last address inside /25 and the first address in the adjacent /25.

Question 680

One ACL should allow branch192.0.2.0/24 to reach application198.51.100.0/25 but the administrator uses wildcard0.0.0.255 for destination. During troubleshooting: Hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. ACL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries.
  2. Standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy.
  3. The destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25.
  4. The ACL permits UDP53 but omits the required TCP53 flow.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: The destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25. It specifically explains the observation: hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted. The correcting configuration is: use destination wildcard0.0.0.127 with the approved /25 network in the extended ACL.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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: hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted. The applicable cause is: the destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25.

B:

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: hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted. The applicable cause is: the destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Ordinary DNS queries work but secondary DNS zone transfers fail. Here the recorded observation is: hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted. The applicable cause is: the destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25.
