Question 720

An ACL filters transit traffic but an engineer expects it to protect router CPU from every packet destined to the router itself. During troubleshooting: Traffic destined to the router CPU remains unpoliced although a transit-forwarding ACL exists. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. Management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls.
  2. The control plane lacks an effective policing policy for the abusive punt class.
  3. The ACL was applied on a logical interface outside the flow's forwarding path.
  4. Data-plane interface ACL enforcement was mistaken for explicit control-plane policing.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The actual technical cause is: Data-plane interface ACL enforcement was mistaken for explicit control-plane policing. It specifically explains the observation: traffic destined to the router CPU remains unpoliced although a transit-forwarding ACL exists. The correcting configuration is: apply supported CoPP or control-plane protection to the punt path in addition to relevant interface ACLs.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A small volume of repeated SNMP requests causes control-plane slowdown without link saturation. Here the recorded observation is: traffic destined to the router CPU remains unpoliced although a transit-forwarding ACL exists. The applicable cause is: data-plane interface ACL enforcement was mistaken for explicit control-plane policing.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The CPU becomes saturated because excessive punted packets reach the routing process. Here the recorded observation is: traffic destined to the router CPU remains unpoliced although a transit-forwarding ACL exists. The applicable cause is: data-plane interface ACL enforcement was mistaken for explicit control-plane policing.

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: traffic destined to the router CPU remains unpoliced although a transit-forwarding ACL exists. The applicable cause is: data-plane interface ACL enforcement was mistaken for explicit control-plane policing.

Question 721

An ACL filters transit traffic but an engineer expects it to protect router CPU from every packet destined to the router itself. The initial change is: Apply supported CoPP or control-plane protection to the punt path in addition to relevant interface ACLs. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: Traffic destined to the router CPU remains unpoliced although a transit-forwarding ACL exists.

  1. Coordinate polling frequency and CoPP rates rather than masking telemetry failure.
  2. Capacity-test control-plane policy exemptions before deploying tighter police rates.
  3. Audit device-destined management and routing packets separately from transit forwarding.
  4. Review CoPP against platform defaults and route scale during hardware refresh.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The continuing protective control is: Audit device-destined management and routing packets separately from transit forwarding. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: data-plane interface ACL enforcement was mistaken for explicit control-plane policing. The corresponding operational check is: generate controlled packets to router-local addresses and inspect control-plane class counters.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: Management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: data-plane interface ACL enforcement was mistaken for explicit control-plane policing. The specific required safeguard is: audit device-destined management and routing packets separately from transit forwarding.

B:

That control reduces a separate risk: The control plane lacks an effective policing policy for the abusive punt class. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: data-plane interface ACL enforcement was mistaken for explicit control-plane policing. The specific required safeguard is: audit device-destined management and routing packets separately from transit forwarding.

D:

That control reduces a separate risk: A platform-inappropriate policing threshold throttles essential control-plane traffic. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: data-plane interface ACL enforcement was mistaken for explicit control-plane policing. The specific required safeguard is: audit device-destined management and routing packets separately from transit forwarding.

Question 722

A CoPP policy is copied from a low-capacity router to a high-capacity chassis and BGP sessions reset under normal update load. The incident evidence is: Valid BGP keepalives and updates exceed the copied policy rate and get dropped. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Tune control-plane policing rates and traffic classes for real platform traffic levels and route-scale demands.
  2. Correct the CoPP class and policing rate for authorized OSPF control traffic rather than opening all packets.
  3. Rate-limit or classify SNMP management-plane traffic through appropriate CoPP/management controls.
  4. Apply supported CoPP or control-plane protection to the punt path in addition to relevant interface ACLs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The required correction is: Tune control-plane policing rates and traffic classes for real platform traffic levels and route-scale demands. The underlying failure mechanism is: A platform-inappropriate policing threshold throttles essential control-plane traffic. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: stress-test legitimate BGP update bursts and verify adjacency stability plus CoPP drop counters.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Correcting the CoPP class and policing rate for authorized OSPF control traffic rather than opening all packets would not address the need for tune control-plane policing rates and traffic classes for real platform traffic levels and route-scale demands.

C:

Rate-limit or classify SNMP management-plane traffic through appropriate CoPP/management controls would not address the need for tune control-plane policing rates and traffic classes for real platform traffic levels and route-scale demands.

D:

Applying supported CoPP or control-plane protection to the punt path in addition to relevant interface ACLs would not address the need for tune control-plane policing rates and traffic classes for real platform traffic levels and route-scale demands.

Question 723

A CoPP policy is copied from a low-capacity router to a high-capacity chassis and BGP sessions reset under normal update load. The proposed remedy is: Tune control-plane policing rates and traffic classes for real platform traffic levels and route-scale demands. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Compare CPU load, CoPP counters and authorized monitoring success before and after tuning.
  2. Inspect CoPP drop counters for OSPF and verify neighbor adjacency recovers.
  3. Stress-test legitimate BGP update bursts and verify adjacency stability plus CoPP drop counters.
  4. Generate controlled packets to router-local addresses and inspect control-plane class counters.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Stress-test legitimate BGP update bursts and verify adjacency stability plus CoPP drop counters. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: valid BGP keepalives and updates exceed the copied policy rate and get dropped.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Compare CPU load, CoPP counters and authorized monitoring success before and after tuning. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: stress-test legitimate BGP update bursts and verify adjacency stability plus CoPP drop counters.

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect CoPP drop counters for OSPF and verify neighbor adjacency recovers. It does not establish the target outcome.

Question 724

A CoPP policy is copied from a low-capacity router to a high-capacity chassis and BGP sessions reset under normal update load. During troubleshooting: Valid BGP keepalives and updates exceed the copied policy rate and get dropped. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. Legitimate routing-control packets are mistakenly classified into a low-rate drop class.
  2. Data-plane interface ACL enforcement was mistaken for explicit control-plane policing.
  3. A platform-inappropriate policing threshold throttles essential control-plane traffic.
  4. Management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: A platform-inappropriate policing threshold throttles essential control-plane traffic. It specifically explains the observation: valid BGP keepalives and updates exceed the copied policy rate and get dropped. The correcting configuration is: tune control-plane policing rates and traffic classes for real platform traffic levels and route-scale demands.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Healthy physical links show OSPF neighbors flapping only after CoPP activation. Here the recorded observation is: valid BGP keepalives and updates exceed the copied policy rate and get dropped. The applicable cause is: a platform-inappropriate policing threshold throttles essential control-plane traffic.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Traffic destined to the router CPU remains unpoliced although a transit-forwarding ACL exists. Here the recorded observation is: valid BGP keepalives and updates exceed the copied policy rate and get dropped.

Question 726

An automation client needs access to a router RESTCONF API, but security wants confidentiality and server identity verification. The incident evidence is: A client ignores invalid certificates and sends credentials to an untrusted management endpoint. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Enforce per-resource API authorization/roles and check the effective action scope for each authenticated principal.
  2. Move the token to a protected runtime secret store and rotate the exposed credential.
  3. Implement bounded exponential backoff, honor Retry-After where provided and use idempotent operation handling.
  4. Use HTTPS/TLS with trusted server certificate validation for the management API.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The required correction is: Use HTTPS/TLS with trusted server certificate validation for the management API. The underlying failure mechanism is: The API client disables TLS peer verification and cannot authenticate the server. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect TLS certificate chain and successful authorized HTTPS session to RESTCONF.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Enforcing per-resource API authorization/roles and checking the effective action scope for each authenticated principal would not meet the need for hTTPS/TLS with trusted server certificate validation for the management API.

B:

Moving the token to a protected runtime secret store and rotate the exposed credential would not meet the need for hTTPS/TLS with trusted server certificate validation for the management API.

C:

Implementing bounded exponential backoff, honor Retry-After where provided and using idempotent operation handling would not meet the need for hTTPS/TLS with trusted server certificate validation for the management API.

Question 727

An automation client needs access to a router RESTCONF API, but security wants confidentiality and server identity verification. The proposed remedy is: Use HTTPS/TLS with trusted server certificate validation for the management API. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Simulate HTTP429 responses and verify the script delays retries without duplicate objects.
  2. Test authorized GET and forbidden POST/DELETE using low-privilege credentials.
  3. Verify repository history no longer provides active usable token access and the rotated token works under approved scope.
  4. Inspect TLS certificate chain and successful authorized HTTPS session to RESTCONF.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Inspect TLS certificate chain and successful authorized HTTPS session to RESTCONF. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: a client ignores invalid certificates and sends credentials to an untrusted management endpoint.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Simulate HTTP429 responses and verify the script delays retries without duplicate objects. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect TLS certificate chain and successful authorized HTTPS session to RESTCONF.

Question 728

An automation client needs access to a router RESTCONF API, but security wants confidentiality and server identity verification. During troubleshooting: A client ignores invalid certificates and sends credentials to an untrusted management endpoint. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The API client disables TLS peer verification and cannot authenticate the server.
  2. The API bearer token was embedded in accessible source code and never revoked.
  3. The client treats rate limiting as an immediate failure loop without safe retry/idempotency design.
  4. Authentication succeeds but API authorization does not restrict modifying operations.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The actual technical cause is: The API client disables TLS peer verification and cannot authenticate the server. It specifically explains the observation: a client ignores invalid certificates and sends credentials to an untrusted management endpoint. The correcting configuration is: use HTTPS/TLS with trusted server certificate validation for the management API.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: An unauthorized collaborator reuses the committed token to call management APIs. Here the recorded observation is: a client ignores invalid certificates and sends credentials to an untrusted management endpoint. The applicable cause is: the API client disables TLS peer verification and cannot authenticate the server.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Bursting retries overwhelm the controller while some POST requests complete twice. Here the recorded observation is: a client ignores invalid certificates and sends credentials to an untrusted management endpoint. The applicable cause is: the API client disables TLS peer verification and cannot authenticate the server.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A read-only automation identity can invoke configuration-changing HTTP methods. Here the recorded observation is: a client ignores invalid certificates and sends credentials to an untrusted management endpoint. The applicable cause is: the API client disables TLS peer verification and cannot authenticate the server.

Question 729

An automation client needs access to a router RESTCONF API, but security wants confidentiality and server identity verification. The initial change is: Use HTTPS/TLS with trusted server certificate validation for the management API. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: A client ignores invalid certificates and sends credentials to an untrusted management endpoint.

  1. Audit API permissions at least privilege and use separate write-capable accounts.
  2. Rotate certificates and pin/validate appropriate CAs without disabling TLS checks.
  3. Track API request limits, response codes and correlation IDs in automation logging.
  4. Require token expiry, scoped service identities, secret scanning and rotation processes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The continuing protective control is: Rotate certificates and pin/validate appropriate CAs without disabling TLS checks. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the API client disables TLS peer verification and cannot authenticate the server. The corresponding operational check is: inspect TLS certificate chain and successful authorized HTTPS session to RESTCONF.

The specific required safeguard is: rotate certificates and pin/validate appropriate CAs without disabling TLS checks.

Question 730

A REST API returns data to any authenticated user even if the identity should have read-only permissions for some resource paths. The incident evidence is: A read-only automation identity can invoke configuration-changing HTTP methods. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Implement bounded exponential backoff, honor Retry-After where provided and use idempotent operation handling.
  2. Enforce per-resource API authorization/roles and check the effective action scope for each authenticated principal.
  3. Configure an appropriate enable secret or per-user privilege/authorization boundary rather than trusting line authentication for all commands.
  4. Use HTTPS/TLS with trusted server certificate validation for the management API.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The required correction is: Enforce per-resource API authorization/roles and check the effective action scope for each authenticated principal. The underlying failure mechanism is: Authentication succeeds but API authorization does not restrict modifying operations. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: test authorized GET and forbidden POST/DELETE using low-privilege credentials.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Implementing bounded exponential backoff, honor Retry-After where provided and using idempotent operation handling would not enforce per-resource API authorization/roles and check the effective action scope for each authenticated principal.

C:

The needed correction is to enforce per-resource API authorization/roles and check the effective action scope for each authenticated principal.

D:

Using HTTPS/TLS with trusted server certificate validation for the management API would not enforce per-resource API authorization/roles and check the effective action scope for each authenticated principal.
