Question 390
At Fairmont Logistics, the distribution-center switching team is preparing a warehouse device rollout. The operational constraint is critical handheld scanner uptime. A production-readiness reviewer asks for proof addressing: A recently added ACL denies a permitted monitoring flow to the management SVI. Which result BEST demonstrates that this specific issue was resolved?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Approved monitoring succeeds while unauthorized management requests remain blocked. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: A recently added ACL denies a permitted monitoring flow to the management SVI. The intended corrective choice is: Review rule match order, direction and the least-privilege exception, then repair the specific permit. At Fairmont Logistics, this outcome verifies actual operation under critical handheld scanner uptime, rather than only a ticket marked complete.
Incorrect Answers
The designated distribution root reappears and traffic follows the planned loop-free topology. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: An unapproved access switch becomes MSTP root and shifts traffic through a low-capacity closet. It would follow the distinct action: Restore intended bridge priorities and MSTP region settings under controlled change. Here the reported failure is A recently added ACL denies a permitted monitoring flow to the management SVI. The decisive result for Fairmont Logistics must instead be: Approved monitoring succeeds while unauthorized management requests remain blocked.
Rogue offers are discarded while leases from the legitimate server still succeed. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: A rogue DHCP server sends offers from an edge port after a security change accidentally marks that port trusted. It would follow the distinct action: Correct DHCP snooping trust on the untrusted edge and keep only validated server paths trusted. Here the reported failure is A recently added ACL denies a permitted monitoring flow to the management SVI. The decisive result for Fairmont Logistics must instead be: Approved monitoring succeeds while unauthorized management requests remain blocked.
A routed client completes DHCP lease acquisition and the relay forwards responses correctly. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: A client gateway forwards traffic but DHCP clients across a routed VLAN receive no offer from a remote server. It would follow the distinct action: Validate and correct DHCP relay/helper configuration and L3 reachability to the authorized server. Here the reported failure is A recently added ACL denies a permitted monitoring flow to the management SVI. The decisive result for Fairmont Logistics must instead be: Approved monitoring succeeds while unauthorized management requests remain blocked.
