Cisco 350-401 Practice Test 69

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.

Question 681

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 initial change is: Use destination wildcard0.0.0.127 with the approved /25 network in the extended ACL. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: Hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted.

  1. Choose ACL type based on actual match fields, not just whether an ACL number is available.
  2. Keep source/destination tuples and enforcement interface in every ACL change record.
  3. Review ACL top-down order and explicit control tests before applying to production interfaces.
  4. Cross-check mask-to-wildcard calculations and test range edges.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The continuing protective control is: Cross-check mask-to-wildcard calculations and test range edges. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25. The corresponding operational check is: test the last address inside /25 and the first address in the adjacent /25.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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: the destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25. The specific required safeguard is: cross-check mask-to-wildcard calculations and test range edges.

B:

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: the destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25. The specific required safeguard is: cross-check mask-to-wildcard calculations and test range edges.

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 destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25. The specific required safeguard is: cross-check mask-to-wildcard calculations and test range edges.

Question 682

A router ACL must permit SSH from management hosts but an operator places a deny-any statement first. The incident evidence is: SSH from an approved jump box is denied despite a permit statement lower in the list. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Add required explicit permits before relying on the ACL's implicit deny for other packets.
  2. Apply an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction.
  3. Choose the correct host-specific wildcard mask 0.0.0.0 or host syntax for the intended address.
  4. Order specific management permits before broader deny entries in the ingress ACL.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The required correction is: Order specific management permits before broader deny entries in the ingress ACL. The underlying failure mechanism is: ACL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect ordered ACL entries and hit counts for allowed management and blocked user hosts.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Adding required explicit permits would not address the need for order specific management permits. ACL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit.

B:

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 order specific management permits.

C:

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

Question 683

A router ACL must permit SSH from management hosts but an operator places a deny-any statement first. The proposed remedy is: Order specific management permits before broader deny entries in the ingress ACL. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Check ACL line match counters for the blocked host and another allowed address in the same /24.
  2. Test a matching allowed flow and an unlisted flow to verify expected accept/drop behavior.
  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

C:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Inspect ordered ACL entries and hit counts for allowed management and blocked user hosts. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: sSH from an approved jump box is denied despite a permit statement lower in the list.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Check ACL line match counters for the blocked host and another allowed address in the same /24. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect ordered ACL entries and hit counts for allowed management and blocked user hosts.

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Test a matching allowed flow and an unlisted flow to verify expected accept/drop behavior. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect ordered ACL entries and hit counts for allowed management and blocked user hosts.

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: inspect ordered ACL entries and hit counts for allowed management and blocked user hosts.

Question 684

A router ACL must permit SSH from management hosts but an operator places a deny-any statement first. During troubleshooting: SSH from an approved jump box is denied despite a permit statement lower in the list. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic.
  2. ACL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries.
  3. ACL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit.
  4. The wildcard mask broadened source matching beyond the single IP address.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: ACL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit. It specifically explains the observation: sSH from an approved jump box is denied despite a permit statement lower in the list. The correcting configuration is: order specific management permits before broader deny entries in the ingress ACL.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A new application fails because no permit exists for its destination in the applied ACL. Here the recorded observation is: sSH from an approved jump box is denied despite a permit statement lower in the list. The applicable cause is: aCL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit.

B:

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: sSH from an approved jump box is denied despite a permit statement lower in the list. The applicable cause is: aCL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The entire subnet is denied when only a single host should be blocked. Here the recorded observation is: sSH from an approved jump box is denied despite a permit statement lower in the list. The applicable cause is: aCL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit.

Question 685

A router ACL must permit SSH from management hosts but an operator places a deny-any statement first. The initial change is: Order specific management permits before broader deny entries in the ingress ACL. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: SSH from an approved jump box is denied despite a permit statement lower in the list.

  1. Run first-match policy analysis before ACL changes on production management interfaces.
  2. Test wildcard-mask boundaries with representative positive and negative addresses.
  3. Review implicit-deny impact and stage new service permits before enabling ACLs.
  4. Review ACL top-down order and explicit control tests before applying to production interfaces.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The continuing protective control is: Run first-match policy analysis before ACL changes on production management interfaces. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: aCL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit. The corresponding operational check is: inspect ordered ACL entries and hit counts for allowed management and blocked user hosts.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That control reduces a separate risk: The wildcard mask broadened source matching beyond the single IP address. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: aCL processing stops at the earlier matching deny line and never reaches the later permit. The specific required safeguard is: run first-match policy analysis before ACL changes on production management interfaces.

The specific required safeguard is: run first-match policy analysis before ACL changes on production management interfaces.

Question 686

An IPv6 router must block unauthorized inbound management using IPv6 access control rather than applying an IPv4 ACL to an IPv6-only address family. The incident evidence is: IPv6 management traffic remains open even though an IPv4 `ip access-group` exists. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Apply an IPv4 ACL with appropriate source/destination matching on the ingress SVI for the documented flow direction.
  2. Attach the ACL at an actual routed interface carrying the traffic in the intended direction.
  3. Configure a supported IPv6 ACL with required IPv6 matches and attach it using the correct IPv6 interface direction.
  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: Configure a supported IPv6 ACL with required IPv6 matches and attach it using the correct IPv6 interface direction. The underlying failure mechanism is: The IPv4 ACL does not independently filter IPv6 traffic. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: check IPv6 ACL counters and SSH reachability from allowed and denied IPv6 sources.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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

B:

Attaching the ACL at an actual routed interface carrying the traffic in the intended direction would not configure a supported IPv6 ACL with required IPv6 matches and attach it using the correct IPv6 interface direction.

D:

Applying an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction would not configure a supported IPv6 ACL with required IPv6 matches and attach it using the correct IPv6 interface direction.

Question 687

An IPv6 router must block unauthorized inbound management using IPv6 access control rather than applying an IPv4 ACL to an IPv6-only address family. The proposed remedy is: Configure a supported IPv6 ACL with required IPv6 matches and attach it using the correct IPv6 interface direction. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters.
  2. Check IPv6 ACL counters and SSH reachability from allowed and denied IPv6 sources.
  3. Run interface counters and a controlled deny test on the true forwarding path.
  4. Inspect inbound ACL counters and successful permitted traffic in the unaffected direction.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Check IPv6 ACL counters and SSH reachability from allowed and denied IPv6 sources. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: iPv6 management traffic remains open even though an IPv4 `ip access-group` exists.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 IPv6 ACL counters and SSH reachability from allowed and denied IPv6 sources.

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: check IPv6 ACL counters and SSH reachability from allowed and denied IPv6 sources.

D:

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

Question 688

An IPv6 router must block unauthorized inbound management using IPv6 access control rather than applying an IPv4 ACL to an IPv6-only address family. During troubleshooting: IPv6 management traffic remains open even though an IPv4 `ip access-group` exists. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. ACL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries.
  2. The IPv4 ACL does not independently filter IPv6 traffic.
  3. ACL interface direction was reversed relative to arriving attack packets.
  4. The ACL was applied on a logical interface outside the flow's forwarding path.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The actual technical cause is: The IPv4 ACL does not independently filter IPv6 traffic. It specifically explains the observation: iPv6 management traffic remains open even though an IPv4 `ip access-group` exists. The correcting configuration is: configure a supported IPv6 ACL with required IPv6 matches and attach it using the correct IPv6 interface direction.

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: iPv6 management traffic remains open even though an IPv4 `ip access-group` exists. The applicable cause is: the IPv4 ACL does not independently filter IPv6 traffic.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The hostile subnet still reaches the SVI because the ACL was applied outbound toward users. Here the recorded observation is: iPv6 management traffic remains open even though an IPv4 `ip access-group` exists. The applicable cause is: the IPv4 ACL does not independently filter IPv6 traffic.

D:

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: iPv6 management traffic remains open even though an IPv4 `ip access-group` exists. The applicable cause is: the IPv4 ACL does not independently filter IPv6 traffic.

Question 689

An IPv6 router must block unauthorized inbound management using IPv6 access control rather than applying an IPv4 ACL to an IPv6-only address family. The initial change is: Configure a supported IPv6 ACL with required IPv6 matches and attach it using the correct IPv6 interface direction. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: IPv6 management traffic remains open even though an IPv4 `ip access-group` exists.

  1. Document direction using source-to-destination packet diagrams in ACL reviews.
  2. Audit ACL coverage for both IPv4 and IPv6 when deploying dual-stack management.
  3. Verify real interface forwarding membership after VLAN and gateway migrations.
  4. Review ACL top-down order and explicit control tests before applying to production interfaces.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The continuing protective control is: Audit ACL coverage for both IPv4 and IPv6 when deploying dual-stack management. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the IPv4 ACL does not independently filter IPv6 traffic. The corresponding operational check is: check IPv6 ACL counters and SSH reachability from allowed and denied IPv6 sources.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: ACL interface direction was reversed relative to arriving attack packets. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the IPv4 ACL does not independently filter IPv6 traffic. The specific required safeguard is: audit ACL coverage for both IPv4 and IPv6 when deploying dual-stack management.

C:

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 IPv4 ACL does not independently filter IPv6 traffic. The specific required safeguard is: audit ACL coverage for both IPv4 and IPv6 when deploying dual-stack management.

D:

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 IPv4 ACL does not independently filter IPv6 traffic. The specific required safeguard is: audit ACL coverage for both IPv4 and IPv6 when deploying dual-stack management.

Question 690

A security team denies an application's TCP443 connection but sees permit hits on the reverse interface because its ACL matches source/destination in the wrong direction. The incident evidence is: The blocked connection succeeds while a reverse-direction counter increases on an unrelated rule. 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. Attach the ACL at an actual routed interface carrying the traffic in the intended direction.
  3. Use an extended ACL for source, destination, protocol and destination port matching.
  4. Rewrite or place the extended ACL for the actual forward packet tuple at the ingress enforcement point.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The required correction is: Rewrite or place the extended ACL for the actual forward packet tuple at the ingress enforcement point. The underlying failure mechanism is: The ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: trace a single TCP SYN and verify the intended ACL entry increments on the correct interface.

Incorrect Answers

A:

ACL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries. The ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction.

B:

The ACL was applied on a logical interface outside the flow's forwarding path. The ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction.

C:

Standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy. The ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction.
