Question 260

At Northpoint Health, the remote-clinic systems team is preparing a rural site commissioning project. The operational constraint is remote support and access restrictions. The owner reports that the correction is complete for this issue: A shared administrator account has full rights from every network and no centralized audit trace. Which result BEST demonstrates that this specific issue was resolved?

  1. Access logs identify individual authorized operators and restricted users cannot change protected settings.
  2. Approved supplicants receive authorized access and unknown clients remain in the intended restricted state.
  3. Packet tests show needed DNS exchanges work and prohibited flows are denied at the intended interface.
  4. Rogue DHCP offers from edge ports are rejected and the legitimate server lease exchange succeeds.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Access logs identify individual authorized operators and restricted users cannot change protected settings. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: A shared administrator account has full rights from every network and no centralized audit trace. The intended corrective choice is: Use authenticated role-based administration with AAA and appropriate management-plane restrictions. At Northpoint Health, this outcome verifies actual operation under remote support and access restrictions, rather than only a ticket marked complete.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Approved supplicants receive authorized access and unknown clients remain in the intended restricted state. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: Managed employee laptops should authenticate to wired access but ports are configured for unrestricted admission. It would follow the distinct action: Configure policy-based 802.1X with a supported RADIUS backend and defined failure behavior. Here the reported failure is A shared administrator account has full rights from every network and no centralized audit trace. The decisive result for Northpoint Health must instead be: Access logs identify individual authorized operators and restricted users cannot change protected settings.

C:

Packet tests show needed DNS exchanges work and prohibited flows are denied at the intended interface. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: An interface ACL blocks legitimate DNS replies because its direction and permit order were not reviewed. It would follow the distinct action: Place ordered ACL entries on the appropriate ingress or egress path with explicit required traffic permits. Here the reported failure is A shared administrator account has full rights from every network and no centralized audit trace. The decisive result for Northpoint Health must instead be: Access logs identify individual authorized operators and restricted users cannot change protected settings.

D:

Rogue DHCP offers from edge ports are rejected and the legitimate server lease exchange succeeds. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: An attacker on an access port sends forged DHCP replies claiming to be the default gateway server. It would follow the distinct action: Use DHCP snooping with trusted uplinks and untrusted edge ports, validating the trust boundary. Here the reported failure is A shared administrator account has full rights from every network and no centralized audit trace. The decisive result for Northpoint Health must instead be: Access logs identify individual authorized operators and restricted users cannot change protected settings.

Question 261

At Riverton Utilities, the operations-center network team is preparing a dispatch network revision. The operational constraint is dispatch continuity under link failure. The site acceptance review finds: An attacker on an access port sends forged DHCP replies claiming to be the default gateway server. Which action BEST corrects the stated problem?

  1. Place ordered ACL entries on the appropriate ingress or egress path with explicit required traffic permits.
  2. Use authenticated role-based administration with AAA and appropriate management-plane restrictions.
  3. Use DHCP snooping with trusted uplinks and untrusted edge ports, validating the trust boundary.
  4. Integrate ClearPass-derived roles or equivalent supported policy assignment and apply least-privilege segmentation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Use DHCP snooping with trusted uplinks and untrusted edge ports, validating the trust boundary. This response directly addresses the observed condition: An attacker on an access port sends forged DHCP replies claiming to be the default gateway server. For Riverton Utilities during a dispatch network revision, the decisive check is not merely that a configuration was entered: Rogue DHCP offers from edge ports are rejected and the legitimate server lease exchange succeeds. That evidence connects the proposed correction to measurable forwarding or management behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Place ordered ACL entries on the appropriate ingress or egress path with explicit required traffic permits. That relates to a different fault: An interface ACL blocks legitimate DNS replies because its direction and permit order were not reviewed. The incident in the scenario is instead: An attacker on an access port sends forged DHCP replies claiming to be the default gateway server. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Riverton Utilities; the relevant confirmation would be: Rogue DHCP offers from edge ports are rejected and the legitimate server lease exchange succeeds.

B:

Use authenticated role-based administration with AAA and appropriate management-plane restrictions. That relates to a different fault: A shared administrator account has full rights from every network and no centralized audit trace. The incident in the scenario is instead: An attacker on an access port sends forged DHCP replies claiming to be the default gateway server. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Riverton Utilities; the relevant confirmation would be: Rogue DHCP offers from edge ports are rejected and the legitimate server lease exchange succeeds.

D:

Integrate ClearPass-derived roles or equivalent supported policy assignment and apply least-privilege segmentation. That relates to a different fault: Different device roles require distinct network access policies but the switch uses one broad VLAN for everyone. The incident in the scenario is instead: An attacker on an access port sends forged DHCP replies claiming to be the default gateway server. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Riverton Utilities; the relevant confirmation would be: Rogue DHCP offers from edge ports are rejected and the legitimate server lease exchange succeeds.

Question 262

At Riverton Utilities, the operations-center network team is preparing a dispatch network revision. The operational constraint is dispatch continuity under link failure. A production-readiness reviewer asks for proof addressing: An attacker on an access port sends forged DHCP replies claiming to be the default gateway server.

B:

The printer obtains only permitted access while an unknown MAC cannot inherit its rights. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: A network printer cannot run a supplicant and keeps failing strict 802.1X admission. It would follow the distinct action: Use an approved limited MAC-authentication or exception role rather than disabling authentication for the entire closet. Here the reported failure is An attacker on an access port sends forged DHCP replies claiming to be the default gateway server. The decisive result for Riverton Utilities must instead be: Rogue DHCP offers from edge ports are rejected and the legitimate server lease exchange succeeds.
