Cisco 350-401 Practice Test 70

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.

Question 691

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 proposed remedy is: Rewrite or place the extended ACL for the actual forward packet tuple at the ingress enforcement point. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Run interface counters and a controlled deny test on the true forwarding path.
  2. Trace a single TCP SYN and verify the intended ACL entry increments on the correct interface.
  3. Test allowed and denied host-to-server TCP443 connections and inspect ACL counters.
  4. Inspect ACL syntax and test the intended port-specific application path.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Trace a single TCP SYN and verify the intended ACL entry increments on the correct interface. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: the blocked connection succeeds while a reverse-direction counter increases on an unrelated rule.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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: trace a single TCP SYN and verify the intended ACL entry increments on the correct interface.

C:

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: trace a single TCP SYN and verify the intended ACL entry increments on the correct interface.

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: trace a single TCP SYN and verify the intended ACL entry increments on the correct interface.

Question 692

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. During troubleshooting: The blocked connection succeeds while a reverse-direction counter increases on an unrelated rule. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The ACL was applied on a logical interface outside the flow's forwarding path.
  2. The ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction.
  3. ACL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries.
  4. Standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The actual technical cause is: The ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction. It specifically explains the observation: the blocked connection succeeds while a reverse-direction counter increases on an unrelated rule. The correcting configuration is: rewrite or place the extended ACL for the actual forward packet tuple at the ingress enforcement point.

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: the blocked connection succeeds while a reverse-direction counter increases on an unrelated rule. The applicable cause is: the ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction.

C:

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 blocked connection succeeds while a reverse-direction counter increases on an unrelated rule. The applicable cause is: the ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction.

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: the blocked connection succeeds while a reverse-direction counter increases on an unrelated rule. The applicable cause is: the ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction.

Question 693

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 initial change is: Rewrite or place the extended ACL for the actual forward packet tuple at the ingress enforcement point. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: The blocked connection succeeds while a reverse-direction counter increases on an unrelated rule.

  1. Choose ACL type based on actual match fields, not just whether an ACL number is available.
  2. Verify real interface forwarding membership after VLAN and gateway migrations.
  3. Review ACL top-down order and explicit control tests before applying to production interfaces.
  4. Keep source/destination tuples and enforcement interface in every ACL change record.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The continuing protective control is: Keep source/destination tuples and enforcement interface in every ACL change record. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction. The corresponding operational check is: trace a single TCP SYN and verify the intended ACL entry increments on the correct interface.

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 ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction. The specific required safeguard is: keep source/destination tuples and enforcement interface in every ACL change record.

B:

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 ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction. The specific required safeguard is: keep source/destination tuples and enforcement interface in every ACL change record.

C:

For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction. The specific required safeguard is: keep source/destination tuples and enforcement interface in every ACL change record.

Question 694

A switch uses a standard ACL to restrict management to a source subnet, but engineers want it to select destination TCP443 for a hosted app. The incident evidence is: The broad standard ACL blocks all protocols from a source instead of only HTTPS. 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. Rewrite or place the extended ACL for the actual forward packet tuple at the ingress enforcement point.
  4. Use an extended ACL for source, destination, protocol and destination port matching.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The required correction is: Use an extended ACL for source, destination, protocol and destination port matching. The underlying failure mechanism is: Standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect ACL syntax and test the intended port-specific application path.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Adding required explicit permits would not meet the need for an extended ACL for source, destination, protocol and destination port matching.

B:

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 an extended ACL for source, destination, protocol and destination port matching.

C:

The needed correction is to use an extended ACL for source, destination, protocol and destination port matching.

Question 695

A switch uses a standard ACL to restrict management to a source subnet, but engineers want it to select destination TCP443 for a hosted app. The proposed remedy is: Use an extended ACL for source, destination, protocol and destination port matching. 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. Inspect inbound ACL counters and successful permitted traffic in the unaffected direction.
  3. Trace a single TCP SYN and verify the intended ACL entry increments on the correct interface.
  4. Inspect ACL syntax and test the intended port-specific application path.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Inspect ACL syntax and test the intended port-specific application path. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: the broad standard ACL blocks all protocols from a source instead of only HTTPS.

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: inspect ACL syntax and test the intended port-specific application path.

B:

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: inspect ACL syntax and test the intended port-specific application path.

C:

Question 696

A switch uses a standard ACL to restrict management to a source subnet, but engineers want it to select destination TCP443 for a hosted app. During troubleshooting: The broad standard ACL blocks all protocols from a source instead of only HTTPS. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. ACL first-match evaluation encounters the overly broad permit before restrictive entries.
  2. The ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction.
  3. Standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy.
  4. ACL interface direction was reversed relative to arriving attack packets.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: Standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy. It specifically explains the observation: the broad standard ACL blocks all protocols from a source instead of only HTTPS. The correcting configuration is: use an extended ACL for source, destination, protocol and destination port matching.

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: the broad standard ACL blocks all protocols from a source instead of only HTTPS. The applicable cause is: standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy.

B:

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: the broad standard ACL blocks all protocols from a source instead of only HTTPS. The applicable cause is: standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy.

D:

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: the broad standard ACL blocks all protocols from a source instead of only HTTPS. The applicable cause is: standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy.

Question 697

A switch uses a standard ACL to restrict management to a source subnet, but engineers want it to select destination TCP443 for a hosted app. Select TWO complementary decisions: the direct technical remedy and a safeguard against recurrence. A verification-only step cannot substitute for either action.

  1. Use an extended ACL for source, destination, protocol and destination port matching.
  2. Keep source/destination tuples and enforcement interface in every ACL change record.
  3. Apply an ordered extended ACL permitting the specified TCP443 tuple and deny unintended matching flows at the correct interface/direction.
  4. Apply an IPv4 ACL with appropriate source/destination matching on the ingress SVI for the documented flow direction.
  5. Choose ACL type based on actual match fields, not just whether an ACL number is available.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

The required correction is: Use an extended ACL for source, destination, protocol and destination port matching. The underlying failure mechanism is: Standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect ACL syntax and test the intended port-specific application path.

E:

The continuing protective control is: Choose ACL type based on actual match fields, not just whether an ACL number is available. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy. The corresponding operational check is: inspect ACL syntax and test the intended port-specific application path.

Incorrect Answers

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: standard IPv4 ACLs do not express the destination/port tuple needed for this policy. The specific required safeguard is: choose ACL type based on actual match fields, not just whether an ACL number is available.

C:

One ordered TCP/443 permit tuple is not enough to establish the requested ACL type and matching fields for the hosted application.

D:

Choosing an ingress SVI is a placement detail; this problem first requires an extended ACL that can match destination and TCP port.

Question 698

An inbound ACL on a router must allow established return traffic after outbound connections, but the static stateless rules do not automatically understand sessions. The incident evidence is: Client SYN leaves successfully but response packets are denied at the inbound enforcement point. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Write explicit permitted return-flow conditions or use a supported stateful security feature where required.
  2. Rewrite or place the extended ACL for the actual forward packet tuple at the ingress enforcement point.
  3. Apply an IPv4 ACL with appropriate source/destination matching on the ingress SVI for the documented flow direction.
  4. Add required explicit permits before relying on the ACL's implicit deny for other packets.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The required correction is: Write explicit permitted return-flow conditions or use a supported stateful security feature where required. The underlying failure mechanism is: The stateless ACL has no matching permit for return packets and does not track connection state. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: test complete TCP connection setup and return segments under the chosen policy.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The needed correction is to write explicit permitted return-flow conditions or use a supported stateful security feature where required.

C:

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

D:

Adding required explicit permits would not address the need for write explicit permitted return-flow conditions or use a supported stateful security feature where required.

Question 699

An inbound ACL on a router must allow established return traffic after outbound connections, but the static stateless rules do not automatically understand sessions. The proposed remedy is: Write explicit permitted return-flow conditions or use a supported stateful security feature where required. 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 complete TCP connection setup and return segments under the chosen policy.
  3. Test a matching allowed flow and an unlisted flow to verify expected accept/drop behavior.
  4. Inspect inbound ACL counters and successful permitted traffic in the unaffected direction.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Test complete TCP connection setup and return segments under the chosen policy. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: client SYN leaves successfully but response packets are denied at the inbound enforcement point.

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 complete TCP connection setup and return segments under the chosen policy.

C:

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: test complete TCP connection setup and return segments under the chosen policy.

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: test complete TCP connection setup and return segments under the chosen policy.

Question 700

An inbound ACL on a router must allow established return traffic after outbound connections, but the static stateless rules do not automatically understand sessions. During troubleshooting: Client SYN leaves successfully but response packets are denied at the inbound enforcement point. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The ACL rule is written for response traffic rather than the initiating packet direction.
  2. The implicit `deny ip any any` at the end blocks unmatched traffic.
  3. ACL interface direction was reversed relative to arriving attack packets.
  4. The stateless ACL has no matching permit for return packets and does not track connection state.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The actual technical cause is: The stateless ACL has no matching permit for return packets and does not track connection state. It specifically explains the observation: client SYN leaves successfully but response packets are denied at the inbound enforcement point. The correcting configuration is: write explicit permitted return-flow conditions or use a supported stateful security feature where required.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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: client SYN leaves successfully but response packets are denied at the inbound enforcement point. The applicable cause is: the stateless ACL has no matching permit for return packets and does not track connection state.

B:

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: client SYN leaves successfully but response packets are denied at the inbound enforcement point. The applicable cause is: the stateless ACL has no matching permit for return packets and does not track connection state.

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: client SYN leaves successfully but response packets are denied at the inbound enforcement point. The applicable cause is: the stateless ACL has no matching permit for return packets and does not track connection state.
