Question 220
At a city service network in Singapore, a post-change check targets this documented issue: A router cannot start the SSH service because it lacks an appropriate host key and required IOS SSH configuration. Which observation is the strongest evidence that the repair worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for ssh rsa key prerequisites. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Configure an appropriate hostname/domain and generate supported secure host keys for SSH', actually resolved the reported issue at a city service network in Singapore. The original failure was: A router cannot start the SSH service because it lacks an appropriate host key and required IOS SSH configuration.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies ssh source interface routing in a different situation, such as when management SSH works from one site but not another because replies leave through an unintended VRF or source path. For the reported ssh rsa key prerequisites incident at a city service network in Singapore, the required acceptance evidence is: The SSH server reports enabled status and negotiated logins use an approved algorithm. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies tftp transfer firewall in a different situation, such as when a device can ping its image server but TFTP copy fails because an intermediate ACL blocks the required UDP TFTP exchange. For the reported ssh rsa key prerequisites incident at a city service network in Singapore, the required acceptance evidence is: The SSH server reports enabled status and negotiated logins use an approved algorithm. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies https management instead of http in a different situation, such as when router web-management credentials traverse an unencrypted HTTP service despite a secure management requirement. For the reported ssh rsa key prerequisites incident at a city service network in Singapore, the required acceptance evidence is: The SSH server reports enabled status and negotiated logins use an approved algorithm. This other result does not test that condition directly.
