Question 720
The acceptance test for secure device administration at a health system WAN in Toronto must confirm a fix for: AAA requests leave from an unexpected source IP that the policy server does not recognize as an authorized network device. Which outcome shows that the precise problem was corrected?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for aaa source interface mismatch. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Configure the correct source interface/address for AAA traffic where supported', actually resolved the reported issue at a health system WAN in Toronto. The original failure was: AAA requests leave from an unexpected source IP that the policy server does not recognize as an authorized network device.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies aaa login authentication omitted in a different situation, such as when remote access fails after AAA configuration because no supported authentication method list is bound to the relevant VTY lines. For the reported aaa source interface mismatch incident at a health system WAN in Toronto, the required acceptance evidence is: Server logs show the registered network-device source and authentication succeeds. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies aaa method list not applied in a different situation, such as when the intended named login method list exists but VTY access continues to use another authentication path. For the reported aaa source interface mismatch incident at a health system WAN in Toronto, the required acceptance evidence is: Server logs show the registered network-device source and authentication succeeds. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies aaa server group order in a different situation, such as when a local database is used first even when the desired policy requires TACACS+ primary authentication with local fallback only on error. For the reported aaa source interface mismatch incident at a health system WAN in Toronto, the required acceptance evidence is: Server logs show the registered network-device source and authentication succeeds. This other result does not test that condition directly.
