Question 120
After implementing a correction at a financial services WAN in Toronto, engineers must verify that this original problem is resolved: WAN routing is down and engineers try to troubleshoot using remote VTY login without a console or out-of-band plan. Which observed result BEST demonstrates success?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for console versus vty recovery. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Use a validated console or out-of-band recovery channel with protected authentication', actually resolved the reported issue at a financial services WAN in Toronto. The original failure was: WAN routing is down and engineers try to troubleshoot using remote VTY login without a console or out-of-band plan.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies vty login local in a different situation, such as when local user accounts exist but remote SSH sessions fail at password prompts because the VTY line uses incompatible login settings. For the reported console versus vty recovery incident at a financial services WAN in Toronto, the required acceptance evidence is: Administrative access remains available during an in-band network outage. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies ssh rsa key prerequisites in a different situation, such as when a router cannot start the SSH service because it lacks an appropriate host key and required IOS SSH configuration. For the reported console versus vty recovery incident at a financial services WAN in Toronto, the required acceptance evidence is: Administrative access remains available during an in-band network outage. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies ssh transport restriction in a different situation, such as when a VTY line allows Telnet login even though the management policy requires encrypted CLI access. For the reported console versus vty recovery incident at a financial services WAN in Toronto, the required acceptance evidence is: Administrative access remains available during an in-band network outage. This other result does not test that condition directly.
