Question 800
After implementing a correction at a government campus in Canberra, engineers must verify that this original problem is resolved: A deny any log is placed on a high-rate WAN ACL and produces excessive CPU and syslog pressure. Which observed result BEST demonstrates success?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for acl logging load. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Limit logging scope or rate and choose selective match logging instead of unrestricted per-packet logging', actually resolved the reported issue at a government campus in Canberra. The original failure was: A deny any log is placed on a high-rate WAN ACL and produces excessive CPU and syslog pressure.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies acl first-match ordering in a different situation, such as when a broad permit appears before a targeted deny, so traffic to a prohibited TCP port passes. For the reported acl logging load incident at a government campus in Canberra, the required acceptance evidence is: Relevant denies remain observable without overwhelming logging resources. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies urpf strict asymmetric routes in a different situation, such as when legitimate multihomed source traffic is dropped by strict uRPF because the best reverse path uses another interface. For the reported acl logging load incident at a government campus in Canberra, the required acceptance evidence is: Relevant denies remain observable without overwhelming logging resources. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies extended acl ports in a different situation, such as when an ACL permits a destination address but not the required TCP application port because the entry tests the wrong transport field. For the reported acl logging load incident at a government campus in Canberra, the required acceptance evidence is: Relevant denies remain observable without overwhelming logging resources. This other result does not test that condition directly.
