Question 260
At a finance network core in Zurich, a post-change check targets this documented issue: A client spoofs an IPv6 source address not associated with its access port and evades ordinary destination filtering. Which observation is the strongest evidence that the repair worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for ipv6 source guard. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Enforce IPv6 Source Guard using trusted binding or verified neighbor state as supported', actually resolved the reported issue at a finance network core in Zurich. The original failure was: A client spoofs an IPv6 source address not associated with its access port and evades ordinary destination filtering.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies ipv6 rogue router advertisements in a different situation, such as when an untrusted access port sends IPv6 Router Advertisements and changes hosts' default gateway. For the reported ipv6 source guard incident at a finance network core in Zurich, the required acceptance evidence is: Packets with unapproved source-port bindings are dropped while valid hosts forward normally. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies ipv6 nd trust validation in a different situation, such as when a first-hop protection policy is copied from a different VLAN and treats all access ports as trusted for neighbor discovery. For the reported ipv6 source guard incident at a finance network core in Zurich, the required acceptance evidence is: Packets with unapproved source-port bindings are dropped while valid hosts forward normally. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies ipv6 binding table role in a different situation, such as when iPv6 first-hop validation features reject legitimate clients because the switch has no binding data for valid addresses. For the reported ipv6 source guard incident at a finance network core in Zurich, the required acceptance evidence is: Packets with unapproved source-port bindings are dropped while valid hosts forward normally. This other result does not test that condition directly.
