Question 250
An operations review at a university network has corrected: After a deployment, one branch's local policy exception overrides the intended new parent allow rule, creating a mismatch with compliance expectations. Which observation specifically confirms success?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The branch and parent compliance tests both produce the approved allow/deny outcomes. This evidence directly tests the intended corrective action: Review effective rule ordering and supported inheritance/override behavior, then narrow or remove the inappropriate local exception. It confirms the failure mechanism—Inherited policy may interact with branch-specific rule ordering or overrides.—has been addressed in the actual affected flow.
Incorrect Answers
Audit and configuration records show only the correct customer tenant was modified. This would verify resolution of a different case: An administrator launches the wrong SCM tenant in a multi-customer environment and nearly edits a firewall outside their authorization. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Review effective rule ordering and supported inheritance/override behavior, then narrow or remove the inappropriate local exception.—worked.
Every intended branch receives the deny without unrelated devices being modified. This would verify resolution of a different case: A risk manager wants to apply a critical deny to all branches but an engineer edits only a single device-specific configuration scope. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Review effective rule ordering and supported inheritance/override behavior, then narrow or remove the inappropriate local exception.—worked.
The approved engineer makes the change and the observer retains read-only visibility. This would verify resolution of a different case: A user has read-only permissions in Strata Cloud Manager but attempts to adjust a Security rule and receives an authorization error. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Review effective rule ordering and supported inheritance/override behavior, then narrow or remove the inappropriate local exception.—worked.
