Question 180
For control-plane resilience at a telecommunications branch in Oslo, a maintenance test revisits the fault: An engineer relies on a transit ACL to protect all router CPU services even though router-destined flows use different paths. Which result validates the intended fix most directly?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for router control-plane versus interface acl. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Review interface filtering and dedicated control-plane protections for traffic terminating on the router', actually resolved the reported issue at a telecommunications branch in Oslo. The original failure was: An engineer relies on a transit ACL to protect all router CPU services even though router-destined flows use different paths.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies acl applied wrong direction in a different situation, such as when an extended IPv4 ACL correctly describes unwanted inbound traffic but was attached outbound on the wrong router interface. For the reported router control-plane versus interface acl incident at a telecommunications branch in Oslo, the required acceptance evidence is: Unauthorized management-plane packets are blocked in the appropriate control-plane policy. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies acl implicit deny in a different situation, such as when a router ACL was built with one permit line and unexpectedly blocks all other traffic. For the reported router control-plane versus interface acl incident at a telecommunications branch in Oslo, the required acceptance evidence is: Unauthorized management-plane packets are blocked in the appropriate control-plane policy. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies acl counter troubleshooting in a different situation, such as when a new permit rule is blamed for a dropped service even though its hit counter never increases. For the reported router control-plane versus interface acl incident at a telecommunications branch in Oslo, the required acceptance evidence is: Unauthorized management-plane packets are blocked in the appropriate control-plane policy. This other result does not test that condition directly.
