Question 700
A switch supports local account login but the operations team needs centrally audited administrator permissions. Which THREE steps together deliver the change, verify its effect, and reduce rollout risk? Choose THREE.
- Integrate supported TACACS+ or RADIUS administrator authentication with appropriate role mapping
- Retain secure break-glass access and monitor central AAA failures
- Test local VLAN existence and authorization attributes before enabling the contractor cohort
- Review the profiling attributes and correct the policy classification using verified device inventory
- Inspect a permitted and denied administrator command/session along with AAA logs
- Correct server priority and timeout/failover settings according to tested reachability
Explanation
Correct Answers
A:Central AAA can unify identity decisions and accountability for device administration. Login success alone does not prove command authorization.
B:An identity outage must not eliminate authorized emergency maintenance. Login success alone does not prove command authorization.
E:Login success alone does not prove command authorization. Central AAA can unify identity decisions and accountability for device administration.
Incorrect Answers
C:An undefined VLAN can cause unpredictable access failures. It would not resolve the documented symptom; an identity outage must not eliminate authorized emergency maintenance.
D:Profiling can be incomplete and should not override device safety requirements blindly. By contrast, central AAA can unify identity decisions and accountability for device administration.
F:The client must be able to use a healthy secondary when the primary is unavailable. In this situation, central AAA can unify identity decisions and accountability for device administration.
Question 701
A switch supports local account login but the operations team needs centrally audited administrator permissions. Which safeguard best reduces the deployment risk in this case?
- Set ownership, replacement and decommission processes for the registry
- Retain secure break-glass access and monitor central AAA failures
- Document device loss response, certificate rotation and offline validation limits
- Pilot the certificate migration on both new and existing laptops
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:An identity outage must not eliminate authorized emergency maintenance. Login success alone does not prove command authorization.
Incorrect Answers
A:Inventory drift can weaken a MAC-based control. The relevant technical distinction is that an identity outage must not eliminate authorized emergency maintenance.
C:Revocation must be operationally enforceable. It would not resolve the documented symptom; an identity outage must not eliminate authorized emergency maintenance.
D:Old clients may have different cached trust configuration. By contrast, an identity outage must not eliminate authorized emergency maintenance.
Question 702
An access policy permits authenticated guests to reach internal DNS but not employee records. What is the most appropriate first technical change?
- Use MAC authentication bypass with a restricted printer role where supported
- Correct the RADIUS policy precedence and group-to-role mapping
- Return a constrained guest role and apply the corresponding ACL or segment enforcement
- Configure 802.1X on the switch with RADIUS and the approved role or VLAN attributes
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Authorization defines service reachability beyond mere connection success. Both an allowed and denied test are needed to prove policy.
Incorrect Answers
A:Non-802.1X devices still require an accountable limited access decision. The relevant technical distinction is that authorization defines service reachability beyond mere connection success.
B:Authorization rules can select the wrong role even with valid identity. Here, however, authorization defines service reachability beyond mere connection success.
D:Central identity decisions can determine the client's authorized network segment. By contrast, authorization defines service reachability beyond mere connection success.
Question 703
An access policy permits authenticated guests to reach internal DNS but not employee records. Which observation would best verify that the intended behavior is working?
- Connect an enrolled and an unknown projector and inspect the resulting port session roles
- Measure first-login time and observe RADIUS requests during primary loss
- Probe DNS and an employee-record destination from a test guest identity
- Check supplicant and RADIUS handshake errors against the full new chain
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Both an allowed and denied test are needed to prove policy. Authorization defines service reachability beyond mere connection success.
Incorrect Answers
A:The comparison confirms the inventory boundary actually controls access. The relevant technical distinction is that both an allowed and denied test are needed to prove policy.
B:Response-time evidence reveals excessive wait or broken fallback. Here, however, both an allowed and denied test are needed to prove policy.
D:Evidence pinpoints whether client or server trust is missing. In this situation, both an allowed and denied test are needed to prove policy.
Question 704
An access policy permits authenticated guests to reach internal DNS but not employee records. Which belief about the configuration should the team reject?
- Change the employee's directory password and assume the device certificate is invalidated
- Assume listing two servers in configuration guarantees instant failover under every timeout
- Map guest identities to the staff role because they both use a RADIUS server
- Increase AP transmission power to repair a wrongly authorized user role
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Shared authentication infrastructure does not imply shared access rights. Authorization defines service reachability beyond mere connection success.
Incorrect Answers
A:User passwords and device certificates have separate lifecycles. It would not resolve the documented symptom; shared authentication infrastructure does not imply shared access rights.
B:Priorities and timers influence actual behavior. In this situation, shared authentication infrastructure does not imply shared access rights.
D:RF strength does not control directory policy selection. Here, however, shared authentication infrastructure does not imply shared access rights.
Question 705
An access policy permits authenticated guests to reach internal DNS but not employee records. What should be included in the rollout plan to limit a foreseeable failure?
- Document device loss response, certificate rotation and offline validation limits
- Provide redundant RADIUS endpoints with monitored response health
- Review guest expiration and log role changes
- Require a controlled exception with owner approval for critical devices
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Temporary access must not become permanent network membership. Both an allowed and denied test are needed to prove policy.
Incorrect Answers
A:Revocation must be operationally enforceable. In this situation, temporary access must not become permanent network membership.
B:Availability improvements should not undermine access restrictions. It would not resolve the documented symptom; temporary access must not become permanent network membership.
D:Safety-sensitive endpoints deserve reliable policy governance. By contrast, temporary access must not become permanent network membership.
Question 706
A campus switch has multiple RADIUS servers but repeatedly sends requests to an unreachable primary. What should the network engineer do to address this requirement?
- Correct the RADIUS policy precedence and group-to-role mapping
- Check whether the switch accepts and applies the exact VLAN/role attributes returned by RADIUS
- Configure 802.1X on the switch with RADIUS and the approved role or VLAN attributes
- Correct server priority and timeout/failover settings according to tested reachability
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:The client must be able to use a healthy secondary when the primary is unavailable. Response-time evidence reveals excessive wait or broken fallback.
Incorrect Answers
A:Authorization rules can select the wrong role even with valid identity. By contrast, the client must be able to use a healthy secondary when the primary is unavailable.
B:A policy may decide correctly while the NAS cannot enforce the result. The relevant technical distinction is that the client must be able to use a healthy secondary when the primary is unavailable.
C:Central identity decisions can determine the client's authorized network segment. It would not resolve the documented symptom; the client must be able to use a healthy secondary when the primary is unavailable.
Question 707
A campus switch has multiple RADIUS servers but repeatedly sends requests to an unreachable primary. What should the team inspect to confirm the result?
- Connect an enrolled and an unknown projector and inspect the resulting port session roles
- Measure first-login time and observe RADIUS requests during primary loss
- Check policy rule hits and the resulting enforced role for student and teacher test accounts
- Verify the registered printer is assigned print-only access and an unknown MAC is rejected
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Response-time evidence reveals excessive wait or broken fallback. The client must be able to use a healthy secondary when the primary is unavailable.
Incorrect Answers
A:The comparison confirms the inventory boundary actually controls access. The relevant technical distinction is that response-time evidence reveals excessive wait or broken fallback.
C:Comparing both categories identifies an overbroad match. By contrast, response-time evidence reveals excessive wait or broken fallback.
D:MAC-based exceptions should not create an open guest bypass. Here, however, response-time evidence reveals excessive wait or broken fallback.
Question 708
A campus switch has multiple RADIUS servers but repeatedly sends requests to an unreachable primary. Which misconception is most likely to obstruct a correct fix?
- Change the employee's directory password and assume the device certificate is invalidated
- Assume listing two servers in configuration guarantees instant failover under every timeout
- Authenticate only the phone and assume the workstation inherits its trusted voice policy
- Map guest identities to the staff role because they both use a RADIUS server
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Priorities and timers influence actual behavior. The client must be able to use a healthy secondary when the primary is unavailable.
Incorrect Answers
A:User passwords and device certificates have separate lifecycles. The relevant technical distinction is that priorities and timers influence actual behavior.
C:A second endpoint should not gain voice trust without policy. Here, however, priorities and timers influence actual behavior.
D:Shared authentication infrastructure does not imply shared access rights. In this situation, priorities and timers influence actual behavior.
Question 709
A campus switch has multiple RADIUS servers but repeatedly sends requests to an unreachable primary. What precaution is most important before the change is expanded?
- Document device loss response, certificate rotation and offline validation limits
- Stage group rule changes with explicit denied-access regression cases
- Test primary and secondary outages before the new semester begins
- Document expected transport-specific exceptions and retest after policy changes
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Authentication latency can make large groups think the WLAN is down. Response-time evidence reveals excessive wait or broken fallback.
Incorrect Answers
A:Revocation must be operationally enforceable. Here, however, authentication latency can make large groups think the WLAN is down.
B:A broad group rule can affect every student simultaneously. In this situation, authentication latency can make large groups think the WLAN is down.
D:Controlled differences are acceptable only when intentional. It would not resolve the documented symptom; authentication latency can make large groups think the WLAN is down.
Question 710
A corporate WLAN uses device certificates, but a lost laptop still has an unrevoked certificate. Which configuration decision most directly resolves the situation?
- Maintain an approved projector registry and require explicit registration or limited quarantine for new MAC identities
- Revoke the lost device certificate and ensure the authentication policy checks revocation
- Configure supported pre-authentication or guest/quarantine policy with a narrow onboarding service list
- Align identity policy and role-mapping intent across wired and wireless enforcement points
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Credential removal must take effect before expiry for lost devices. A published revocation record alone does not prove the access service reads it.
Incorrect Answers
A:MAC-based access relies on accurately maintained device identity records. It would not resolve the documented symptom; credential removal must take effect before expiry for lost devices.
C:Devices can receive limited services before full identity validation without broad network access. By contrast, credential removal must take effect before expiry for lost devices.
D:The same user may otherwise get inconsistent access by transport. In this situation, credential removal must take effect before expiry for lost devices.
