Question 80
After implementing a correction at a regional data center in Dallas, engineers must verify that this original problem is resolved: A firewall allows RADIUS UDP but TACACS+ management logins still fail because its dedicated transport is blocked. Which observed result BEST demonstrates success?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for tacacs+ transport port. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Permit authorized TACACS+ TCP port 49 between the device and configured identity server', actually resolved the reported issue at a regional data center in Dallas. The original failure was: A firewall allows RADIUS UDP but TACACS+ management logins still fail because its dedicated transport is blocked.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies tacacs secret mismatch in a different situation, such as when tACACS requests reach the identity server but packets cannot be validated because server and device share different secrets. For the reported tacacs+ transport port incident at a regional data center in Dallas, the required acceptance evidence is: The router establishes a TCP session to TACACS+ and login requests are answered. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies aaa server unavailable versus reject in a different situation, such as when a router is configured TACACS+ then local, but an explicit reject from the active TACACS+ server is expected to trigger local fallback. For the reported tacacs+ transport port incident at a regional data center in Dallas, the required acceptance evidence is: The router establishes a TCP session to TACACS+ and login requests are answered. This other result does not test that condition directly.
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 tacacs+ transport port incident at a regional data center in Dallas, the required acceptance evidence is: The router establishes a TCP session to TACACS+ and login requests are answered. This other result does not test that condition directly.
