Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) 350-401 Practice Test 55

Question 540

During acceptance testing after set the correct AAA source interface and ensure server return routing., which evidence is most relevant?

  1. The intended local user authenticates and an unknown name fails.
  2. RADIUS/TACACS+ packets reach the server from the approved source IP.
  3. Central server records both login events and session start/stop as configured.
  4. Running config shows hashed user secrets rather than plaintext login passwords.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

RADIUS/TACACS+ packets reach the server from the approved source IP. This is the targeted operational evidence for the change. Server policy may authorize only expected NAS source addresses. Merely entering the configuration or seeing a management session is less conclusive than observing the resulting behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This observation validates another operation: Create least-privileged local backup accounts with protected secrets. A local login method cannot authenticate absent user records. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

C:

This observation validates another operation: Configure AAA exec and authentication accounting on relevant lines. Central logging provides audit evidence beyond a device's local login history. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

D:

This observation validates another operation: Prefer a modern supported hashed `secret` rather than weak reversible password storage. Stronger password storage reduces exposure of saved local credentials. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

Question 541

A VTY line uses `login local` but no local accounts were created. How should the team implement the required behavior?

  1. Create least-privileged local backup accounts with protected secrets.
  2. Inspect console line authentication list and fallback configuration.
  3. Use individual AAA accounts and privilege authorization rather than a shared reusable privilege secret.
  4. Apply a restrictive management access-class to VTY lines.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A local login method cannot authenticate absent user records. The most direct remediation is create least-privileged local backup accounts with protected secrets. A practical acceptance test is the intended local user authenticates and an unknown name fails. This distinguishes a configured intention from operational success.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This choice addresses a different situation: A router shows `aaa new-model` but local console login is unexpectedly disabled. Enabling AAA changes how line login authentication is evaluated. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a VTY line uses `login local` but no local accounts were created.

C:

This choice addresses a different situation: A helpdesk team must not retain a shared `enable password` on network devices. Shared enable credentials reduce accountability and revokeability. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a VTY line uses `login local` but no local accounts were created.

D:

This choice addresses a different situation: A router's VTY ACL accidentally allows SSH from every public IP. A VTY access-class limits which source networks can reach remote administration. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a VTY line uses `login local` but no local accounts were created.

Question 542

An operator has applied the following change: create least-privileged local backup accounts with protected secrets. Which observation best confirms it works?

  1. The console matches a working named/default method list under AAA.
  2. Per-user authorization replaces shared enable entry for supported operations.
  3. Only the approved management subnet establishes SSH sessions.
  4. The intended local user authenticates and an unknown name fails.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The intended local user authenticates and an unknown name fails. This is the targeted operational evidence for the change. A local login method cannot authenticate absent user records. Merely entering the configuration or seeing a management session is less conclusive than observing the resulting behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This observation validates another operation: Inspect console line authentication list and fallback configuration. Enabling AAA changes how line login authentication is evaluated. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

B:

This observation validates another operation: Use individual AAA accounts and privilege authorization rather than a shared reusable privilege secret. Shared enable credentials reduce accountability and revokeability. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

C:

This observation validates another operation: Apply a restrictive management access-class to VTY lines. A VTY access-class limits which source networks can reach remote administration. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

Question 543

A router shows `aaa new-model` but local console login is unexpectedly disabled. What is the most appropriate corrective measure?

  1. Configure AAA exec and authentication accounting on relevant lines.
  2. Prefer a modern supported hashed `secret` rather than weak reversible password storage.
  3. Inspect console line authentication list and fallback configuration.
  4. Bind distinct named login method lists to their respective lines.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Enabling AAA changes how line login authentication is evaluated. The most direct remediation is inspect console line authentication list and fallback configuration. A practical acceptance test is the console matches a working named/default method list under AAA. This distinguishes a configured intention from operational success.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This choice addresses a different situation: An organization needs central accounting of administrator logins and failures. Central logging provides audit evidence beyond a device's local login history. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a router shows `aaa new-model` but local console login is unexpectedly disabled.

B:

This choice addresses a different situation: An engineer configures both secret and password for a local account. Stronger password storage reduces exposure of saved local credentials. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a router shows `aaa new-model` but local console login is unexpectedly disabled.

D:

This choice addresses a different situation: The network requires different AAA method lists for console and SSH. Line-specific AAA methods permit recovery policy distinct from remote access. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a router shows `aaa new-model` but local console login is unexpectedly disabled.

Question 544

After implementing inspect console line authentication list and fallback configuration., which operational evidence should an engineer collect?

  1. Central server records both login events and session start/stop as configured.
  2. The console matches a working named/default method list under AAA.
  3. Running config shows hashed user secrets rather than plaintext login passwords.
  4. `show running-config` shows different authentication method references per line.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The console matches a working named/default method list under AAA. This is the targeted operational evidence for the change. Enabling AAA changes how line login authentication is evaluated. Merely entering the configuration or seeing a management session is less conclusive than observing the resulting behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This observation validates another operation: Configure AAA exec and authentication accounting on relevant lines. Central logging provides audit evidence beyond a device's local login history. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

C:

This observation validates another operation: Prefer a modern supported hashed `secret` rather than weak reversible password storage. Stronger password storage reduces exposure of saved local credentials. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

D:

This observation validates another operation: Bind distinct named login method lists to their respective lines. Line-specific AAA methods permit recovery policy distinct from remote access. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

Question 545

An organization needs central accounting of administrator logins and failures. Which action most directly addresses this situation?

  1. Configure AAA exec and authentication accounting on relevant lines.
  2. Use individual AAA accounts and privilege authorization rather than a shared reusable privilege secret.
  3. Apply a restrictive management access-class to VTY lines.
  4. Match the RADIUS client/server shared secret and NAS client definition.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Central logging provides audit evidence beyond a device's local login history. The most direct remediation is configure AAA exec and authentication accounting on relevant lines. A practical acceptance test is central server records both login events and session start/stop as configured. This distinguishes a configured intention from operational success.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This choice addresses a different situation: A helpdesk team must not retain a shared `enable password` on network devices. Shared enable credentials reduce accountability and revokeability. It does not specifically correct the issue here: an organization needs central accounting of administrator logins and failures.

C:

This choice addresses a different situation: A router's VTY ACL accidentally allows SSH from every public IP. A VTY access-class limits which source networks can reach remote administration. It does not specifically correct the issue here: an organization needs central accounting of administrator logins and failures.

D:

This choice addresses a different situation: A RADIUS server is reachable but every user is denied because the shared secret differs. RADIUS authentication requires both ends to agree on the protected shared secret. It does not specifically correct the issue here: an organization needs central accounting of administrator logins and failures.

Question 546

The change request says: configure AAA exec and authentication accounting on relevant lines. Which verification result is most decisive?

  1. Per-user authorization replaces shared enable entry for supported operations.
  2. Only the approved management subnet establishes SSH sessions.
  3. Server logs show valid NAS authentication exchange after correction.
  4. Central server records both login events and session start/stop as configured.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Central server records both login events and session start/stop as configured. This is the targeted operational evidence for the change. Central logging provides audit evidence beyond a device's local login history. Merely entering the configuration or seeing a management session is less conclusive than observing the resulting behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This observation validates another operation: Use individual AAA accounts and privilege authorization rather than a shared reusable privilege secret. Shared enable credentials reduce accountability and revokeability. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

B:

This observation validates another operation: Apply a restrictive management access-class to VTY lines. A VTY access-class limits which source networks can reach remote administration. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

C:

This observation validates another operation: Match the RADIUS client/server shared secret and NAS client definition. RADIUS authentication requires both ends to agree on the protected shared secret. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

Question 547

A helpdesk team must not retain a shared `enable password` on network devices. What is the most effective configuration or design response?

  1. Prefer a modern supported hashed `secret` rather than weak reversible password storage.
  2. Bind distinct named login method lists to their respective lines.
  3. Use individual AAA accounts and privilege authorization rather than a shared reusable privilege secret.
  4. Verify fallback triggers and method list order rather than assuming any rejection invokes fallback.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Shared enable credentials reduce accountability and revokeability. The most direct remediation is use individual AAA accounts and privilege authorization rather than a shared reusable privilege secret. A practical acceptance test is per-user authorization replaces shared enable entry for supported operations. This distinguishes a configured intention from operational success.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This choice addresses a different situation: An engineer configures both secret and password for a local account. Stronger password storage reduces exposure of saved local credentials. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a helpdesk team must not retain a shared `enable password` on network devices.

B:

This choice addresses a different situation: The network requires different AAA method lists for console and SSH. Line-specific AAA methods permit recovery policy distinct from remote access. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a helpdesk team must not retain a shared `enable password` on network devices.

D:

This choice addresses a different situation: A remote TACACS+ server fails yet the device never tries its local users. AAA fallback generally depends on server error/unavailability, not an explicit user rejection. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a helpdesk team must not retain a shared `enable password` on network devices.

Question 548

A post-change test follows this action: use individual AAA accounts and privilege authorization rather than a shared reusable privilege secret. Which result demonstrates success?

  1. Running config shows hashed user secrets rather than plaintext login passwords.
  2. Per-user authorization replaces shared enable entry for supported operations.
  3. `show running-config` shows different authentication method references per line.
  4. A simulated server timeout activates local method; Access-Reject remains a rejection.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Per-user authorization replaces shared enable entry for supported operations. This is the targeted operational evidence for the change. Shared enable credentials reduce accountability and revokeability. Merely entering the configuration or seeing a management session is less conclusive than observing the resulting behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This observation validates another operation: Prefer a modern supported hashed `secret` rather than weak reversible password storage. Stronger password storage reduces exposure of saved local credentials. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

C:

This observation validates another operation: Bind distinct named login method lists to their respective lines. Line-specific AAA methods permit recovery policy distinct from remote access. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

D:

This observation validates another operation: Verify fallback triggers and method list order rather than assuming any rejection invokes fallback. AAA fallback generally depends on server error/unavailability, not an explicit user rejection. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

Question 549

An engineer configures both secret and password for a local account. Which change should the network engineer prioritize?

  1. Prefer a modern supported hashed `secret` rather than weak reversible password storage.
  2. Apply a restrictive management access-class to VTY lines.
  3. Match the RADIUS client/server shared secret and NAS client definition.
  4. Use targeted `debug aaa authentication` and server connectivity checks safely.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Stronger password storage reduces exposure of saved local credentials. The most direct remediation is prefer a modern supported hashed `secret` rather than weak reversible password storage. A practical acceptance test is running config shows hashed user secrets rather than plaintext login passwords. This distinguishes a configured intention from operational success.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This choice addresses a different situation: A router's VTY ACL accidentally allows SSH from every public IP. A VTY access-class limits which source networks can reach remote administration. It does not specifically correct the issue here: an engineer configures both secret and password for a local account.

C:

This choice addresses a different situation: A RADIUS server is reachable but every user is denied because the shared secret differs. RADIUS authentication requires both ends to agree on the protected shared secret. It does not specifically correct the issue here: an engineer configures both secret and password for a local account.

D:

This choice addresses a different situation: A team wants the exact remote authentication backend to be visible during a login issue. AAA debugs reveal method selection and server replies when scoped appropriately. It does not specifically correct the issue here: an engineer configures both secret and password for a local account.

Question 550

During acceptance testing after prefer a modern supported hashed `secret` rather than weak reversible password storage., which evidence is most relevant?

  1. Only the approved management subnet establishes SSH sessions.
  2. Server logs show valid NAS authentication exchange after correction.
  3. The trace shows the selected method and an explicit accept/reject/timeout outcome.
  4. Running config shows hashed user secrets rather than plaintext login passwords.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Running config shows hashed user secrets rather than plaintext login passwords. This is the targeted operational evidence for the change. Stronger password storage reduces exposure of saved local credentials. Merely entering the configuration or seeing a management session is less conclusive than observing the resulting behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This observation validates another operation: Apply a restrictive management access-class to VTY lines. A VTY access-class limits which source networks can reach remote administration. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

B:

This observation validates another operation: Match the RADIUS client/server shared secret and NAS client definition. RADIUS authentication requires both ends to agree on the protected shared secret. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.
