Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 63

Question 620

A small branch stores spare routers and laptop backups in an open storeroom. Which physical anchoring and locked storage controls limit equipment theft or tampering?

  1. Store spare routers on open floor shelving and depend on MAC address filtering to prevent their removal
  2. Use a fire-resistant container with no lock and a publicly accessible key
  3. Keep spare equipment in locked storage and anchor or physically secure exposed devices
  4. Record serial numbers only, without any access or removal restrictions for open storeroom shelves

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Locked controlled storage and appropriately secured physical mounting reduce opportunistic removal of equipment and sensitive backups.

Incorrect Answers

A:

MAC filtering can limit some network attachment but cannot stop physical removal or tampering with devices in an unsecured storeroom.

B:

Fire resistance protects against one hazard, but an unlocked cabinet and accessible key do not provide physical theft prevention.

D:

Inventory records improve accountability after an event but are not a preventive substitute for lockable, controlled physical storage.

Question 621

A Cisco IOS device enters privileged EXEC with an insecure legacy enable password. Which strong protected `enable` credential configuration should replace reliance on that weaker password?

  1. Use enable password with a short plaintext value and hide it in a terminal transcript
  2. Configure a new VTY line password without modifying the privileged EXEC secret
  3. Configure enable secret with a strong value
  4. Configure transport input ssh on VTY without setting an enable credential

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

`enable secret` protects escalation to privileged EXEC with a stored verifier rather than a readable legacy enable password. Its protection depends on a strong secret and the platform’s supported hashing method.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The legacy enable password is weaker than the secret mechanism and may expose or weaken privileged EXEC protection.

B:

VTY login authentication is a distinct stage from entering privileged EXEC mode.

D:

SSH encrypts remote transport but does not directly replace the privileged EXEC enable secret.

Question 622

A local break-glass operator account named `operator` must exist with a securely stored secret rather than a cleartext username password. Which IOS local-user configuration accomplishes it?

  1. Configure username operator secret with a strong secret
  2. Configure username operator password 0 cleartext123
  3. Configure enable secret operator without a username statement
  4. Configure login local under VTY but omit the operator username

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

An IOS `username ... secret` record creates an individually identifiable account with a protected credential. VTY `login local` or equivalent AAA configuration is needed for that account to authenticate a terminal session.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Password 0 stores the specified account password as plaintext, rather than using a securely stored local secret.

C:

Enable secret controls privileged EXEC escalation and does not define a named operator local login identity.

D:

Local lookup requires an existing named account; line login method alone does not create it.

Question 623

A security administrator wants to prevent users from entering privileged EXEC on a Cisco router until they provide the configured privileged secret. Local SSH usernames already authenticate VTY access. Which separate control protects the enable transition?

  1. Set transport input ssh, which encrypts remote sessions but does not challenge enable elevation
  2. Configure enable secret with a strong value and use the required privilege-transition authentication
  3. Enable ip nat outside on the management interface to translate the administrator traffic
  4. Configure ip address dhcp on the VTY line to obtain a source address for privileged commands

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The enable secret provides a distinct protected credential for privilege elevation; VTY user authentication alone does not guarantee that extra step.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The VTY transport command governs inbound terminal protocols, not the password or AAA policy used when requesting privileged EXEC.

C:

NAT outside marks an IP routing interface for translation and cannot control access to device EXEC privilege levels.

D:

A VTY line is a terminal access endpoint, not an IP interface obtaining a DHCP address for the enable command.

Question 624

Remote administrators need encrypted terminal sessions, and Telnet must be disabled on the IOS VTY lines. Which incoming transport selection enforces SSH-only CLI connections?

  1. Configure transport input ssh on VTY lines
  2. Set transport input telnet ssh under VTY
  3. Set login local on VTY with no transport input restriction
  4. Set transport output ssh on VTY and ignore inbound transport

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Limiting VTY transport to SSH avoids accepting cleartext Telnet sessions.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That still allows plaintext Telnet sessions and violates the explicit SSH-only requirement.

C:

Local username authentication does not by itself remove Telnet from permitted remote line protocols.

D:

Output transport configures outbound sessions, not the input protocols accepted for remote management.

Question 625

A technician is standing at a router console. Company policy requires authentication before entering an EXEC session. Which console-line login configuration can enforce an approved credential source?

  1. Set line console 0 transport input ssh
  2. Configure console line login with an appropriate local or line credential
  3. Configure only enable secret and assume the initial console EXEC prompt is authenticated
  4. Set login local on VTY lines without configuring console login

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Console authentication restricts unauthenticated physical CLI access.

Incorrect Answers

A:

SSH applies to IP VTY transport and does not provide the required direct console login behavior.

C:

Enable secret protects privileged mode but does not itself enforce authentication before user EXEC access.

D:

VTY authorization affects remote terminal access; the question explicitly asks for authentication on the console line.

Question 626

After configuring a privileged-mode secret, an auditor needs to check its stored representation in an authorized Cisco IOS configuration output. Which observation best supports that the secret is not being stored as a Type 0 plaintext enable password?

  1. The `enable secret` line contains a supported nonreversible password-hash representation, not the original plaintext
  2. The console banner displays the original secret in ordinary text
  3. A Telnet session opens without username authentication
  4. The configuration contains only an unprotected `enable password 0` entry

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Cisco enable-secret storage normally uses a nonreversible secret representation; the running configuration should not reveal the original plaintext. Modern secure hash types are preferred where supported.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A banner does not validate secret storage and would be a credential disclosure if it revealed the secret.

C:

Permitting Telnet without authentication is a management weakness unrelated to protected configuration storage.

D:

Type 0 stores plaintext and does not demonstrate the intended one-way protection of a privileged-mode secret.

Question 627

A departing contractor's local IOS username must no longer authenticate on the router. Which configuration action removes that unneeded account without deleting active employee usernames?

  1. Revoke all local usernames using no username for every account
  2. Change only the enable secret and leave the contractor local user valid
  3. Delete the unneeded username from local configuration
  4. Set transport input none permanently on all VTY lines

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Removing unused accounts reduces unauthorized account access opportunities.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is excessive and would remove legitimate employee access rather than only the departed contractor.

B:

A contractor could still authenticate with their own account for user EXEC access.

D:

That indiscriminately blocks legitimate remote administration and does not remove the contractor identity.

Question 628

The security auditor suspects a VTY line accepts Telnet despite policy. Which running-config section exposes the line's transport and login settings without changing them?

  1. Inspect line vty configuration in running-config
  2. Run show ip ssh and infer VTY Telnet allowance from SSH server status
  3. Run show users to list logged-in sessions and assume it exposes all VTY policy
  4. Run show line without reading the configured transport input on VTY

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The VTY configuration shows login method and allowed transports.

Incorrect Answers

B:

An enabled SSH server does not establish whether VTY input protocols include Telnet.

C:

Current user sessions do not report the complete configured transport input and login policy.

D:

Line usage/status cannot reliably replace inspection of the VTY running-configuration section.

Question 629

An IOS router already accepts SSH only on VTY lines, but security policy now permits inbound management sessions **solely from 10.10.10.0/24**. A standard numbered ACL 23 already permits this subnet. Which VTY-line command restricts remote-login source IPs without changing the SSH-only transport setting?

  1. Configure `access-class 23 in` under all active VTY lines
  2. Configure `transport input telnet` under all active VTY lines
  3. Configure `ip access-group 23 out` on the ISP WAN interface
  4. Configure `login local` under VTY lines without an access-class

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

VTY access-class 23 in restricts source addresses of inbound remote management connections to the ACL-permitted management subnet.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Enabling Telnet would expose plaintext remote CLI connections and does not restrict source subnets as required.

C:

Interface ACL direction does not replace the VTY-specific access-class control specified for limiting remote SSH logins.

D:

Local login checks credentials but does not by itself restrict which remote source IPs may attempt a VTY session.

Question 630

An administrator leaves an authenticated management session idle for hours, creating a session-hijack risk. Which IOS management-line inactivity setting automatically closes such unused sessions?

  1. Set service password-encryption and assume it times out idle sessions
  2. Use login local without specifying an idle timeout
  3. Configure an appropriate exec-timeout on management lines
  4. Set an unrelated interface hold queue length

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Inactivity timeouts limit persistence of abandoned administrative sessions.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Password obfuscation is unrelated to terminating an already authenticated inactive terminal.

B:

Login authentication establishes a session but does not configure automatic inactivity termination.

D:

Queue buffering cannot log out idle terminal sessions and may adversely affect packet handling.
