Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 200-301 Practice Test 62

Question 610

At a regional office, the site engineer wants proof that unauthorized management attempts are blocked and investigated rather than merely discouraged. During review, someone proposes: "Use an unmanaged warning sign as the only network enforcement." Which technical explanation most directly shows why this proposal does not solve the requirement?

  1. Description text has no security enforcement semantics.
  2. This removes detective evidence and weakens access control.
  3. Warnings do not authenticate or block a network login.
  4. Blocking and accountability work together: controls prevent entry while logs support detection.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Warnings do not authenticate or block a network login. The effective remedy is to enforce ACL/AAA controls and preserve attributable log evidence.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Description text has no security enforcement semantics. It concerns a different proposed change, not the change being evaluated.

B:

This removes detective evidence and weakens access control. A true general network fact is not necessarily the direct diagnosis. The named change was use an unmanaged warning sign as the only network enforcement, whose relevant defect is that warnings do not authenticate or block a network login.

D:

Blocking and accountability work together: controls prevent entry while logs support detection. The statement addresses a different mechanism. Here the engineer specifically proposed use an unmanaged warning sign as the only network enforcement; the decisive limitation is that warnings do not authenticate or block a network login.

Question 611

At an insurance company, a network operations engineer is designing security training for staff targeted by impersonated IT helpdesk calls. Which choice best addresses the stated requirement?

  1. Replace identity verification with a public phone-number search alone.
  2. Require staff to reveal MFA codes whenever a caller knows a username.
  3. Assume every call from an internal extension is trustworthy.
  4. Train staff to verify caller identity using a known independent channel before disclosing secrets.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Security awareness reduces social-engineering success when verification behavior is rehearsed.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Public listings can be spoofed.

B:

A known username is not proof of authority and MFA codes are sensitive.

C:

Caller ID can be spoofed or misused.

Question 612

At a factory, the infrastructure lead must restrict physical access to routers in a shared office after unauthorized visitors were seen. Which choice best addresses the stated requirement?

  1. Rely only on the switch hostname secrecy.
  2. Use only a weekly email reminder to visitors.
  3. Disable VPN encryption as a physical barrier.
  4. Use a locked communications room with controlled access and logs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Physical access controls protect management consoles and equipment from local tampering.

Incorrect Answers

A:

An equipment name cannot stop physical entry.

B:

Reminders do not physically restrict equipment access.

C:

Removing VPN protection does not lock a room.

Question 613

At a warehouse, the campus network lead needs a repeatable security awareness program rather than a single introductory slide. Which choice best addresses the stated requirement?

  1. Use only a stronger routing protocol metric as employee training.
  2. Train only once at hiring and assume behavior never changes.
  3. Use role-specific training and verify behavior through periodic practical exercises.
  4. Treat the absence of reported phishing as proof all staff recognize it.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Awareness is more effective when adapted to risk and tested for retention.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Routing metrics do not influence social behavior.

B:

Threat tactics and staff roles change over time.

D:

Underreporting can mask incidents.

Question 614

At a biotech lab, the site engineer requires evidence that departed staff cannot enter the wiring closet or use old administrative badges. Which choice best addresses the stated requirement?

  1. Replace one rack patch cable without updating identity access.
  2. Disable the former employee’s VPN account but leave their physical badge active for the wiring closet.
  3. Delete only the employee email alias but retain the door badge.
  4. Revoke physical and logical access promptly and verify the access list.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Offboarding must remove both facility entry credentials and account permissions.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Cabling changes do not revoke credentials.

B:

The security goal spans both physical and logical paths; retaining an active badge leaves a direct unauthorized equipment-access risk.

C:

Email cleanup does not revoke physical access.

Question 615

At a regional hospital, the site engineer is designing security training for staff targeted by impersonated IT helpdesk calls. During review, someone proposes: "Require staff to reveal MFA codes whenever a caller knows a username." Which technical explanation most directly shows why this proposal does not solve the requirement?

  1. Caller ID can be spoofed or misused.
  2. Security awareness reduces social-engineering success when verification behavior is rehearsed.
  3. A known username is not proof of authority and MFA codes are sensitive.
  4. Public listings can be spoofed.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A known username is not proof of authority and MFA codes are sensitive. The effective remedy is to train staff to verify caller identity using a known independent channel before disclosing secrets.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Caller ID can be spoofed or misused. It concerns a different proposed change, not the change being evaluated.

B:

Security awareness reduces social-engineering success when verification behavior is rehearsed. That distinction is technically relevant elsewhere, but it does not identify the failure of the proposed require staff to reveal mfa codes whenever a caller knows a username. The actual issue is that a known username is not proof of authority and MFA codes are sensitive.

D:

Looking up a public phone number is not strong caller authentication, but the particular proposal exposes MFA codes directly to callers.

Question 616

At a manufacturing plant, a network operations engineer must restrict physical access to routers in a shared office after unauthorized visitors were seen. During review, someone proposes: "Rely only on the switch hostname secrecy." Which technical explanation most directly shows why this proposal does not solve the requirement?

  1. Removing VPN protection does not lock a room.
  2. An equipment name cannot stop physical entry.
  3. Physical access controls protect management consoles and equipment from local tampering.
  4. Reminders do not physically restrict equipment access.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

An equipment name cannot stop physical entry. The effective remedy is to use a locked communications room with controlled access and logs.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Removing VPN protection does not lock a room. That distinction is technically relevant elsewhere, but it does not identify the failure of the proposed rely only on the switch hostname secrecy. The actual issue is that an equipment name cannot stop physical entry.

C:

Physical access controls protect management consoles and equipment from local tampering. This observation would apply to another device or feature, not the proposed rely only on the switch hostname secrecy. For this scenario, an equipment name cannot stop physical entry is the direct cause.

D:

Reminders do not physically restrict equipment access. It concerns a different proposed change, not the change being evaluated.

Question 617

At a logistics provider, a network administrator needs a repeatable security awareness program rather than a single introductory slide. During review, someone proposes: "Train only once at hiring and assume behavior never changes." Which technical explanation most directly shows why this proposal does not solve the requirement?

  1. Awareness is more effective when adapted to risk and tested for retention.
  2. Threat tactics and staff roles change over time.
  3. Underreporting can mask incidents.
  4. Routing metrics do not influence social behavior.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Threat tactics and staff roles change over time. The effective remedy is to use role-specific training and verify behavior through periodic practical exercises.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Awareness is more effective when adapted to risk and tested for retention. The statement addresses a different mechanism. Here the engineer specifically proposed train only once at hiring and assume behavior never changes; the decisive limitation is that threat tactics and staff roles change over time.

C:

A low reported-incident count does not measure recognition accurately; however, this is not the proposed change, which concerns training without verification.

D:

Routing metrics do not influence social behavior. That distinction is technically relevant elsewhere, but it does not identify the failure of the proposed train only once at hiring and assume behavior never changes. The actual issue is that threat tactics and staff roles change over time.

Question 618

At a regional hospital, the migration lead requires evidence that departed staff cannot enter the wiring closet or use old administrative badges. During review, someone proposes: "Delete only the employee email alias but retain the door badge." Which technical explanation most directly shows why this proposal does not solve the requirement?

  1. Offboarding must remove both facility entry credentials and account permissions.
  2. Name caching does not revoke badges.
  3. Cabling changes do not revoke credentials.
  4. Email cleanup does not revoke physical access.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Email cleanup does not revoke physical access. The effective remedy is to revoke physical and logical access promptly and verify the access list.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Offboarding must remove both facility entry credentials and account permissions. This observation would apply to another device or feature, not the proposed delete only the employee email alias but retain the door badge. For this scenario, email cleanup does not revoke physical access is the direct cause.

B:

Name caching does not revoke badges. A true general network fact is not necessarily the direct diagnosis. The named change was delete only the employee email alias but retain the door badge, whose relevant defect is that email cleanup does not revoke physical access.

C:

Cabling changes do not revoke credentials. It concerns a different proposed change, not the change being evaluated.

Question 619

At a stadium, a network administrator must replace a shared plaintext privileged password with attributable per-user local login on a standalone router. Which choice best addresses the stated requirement?

  1. Use only line password 1234 for all administrators.
  2. Use no login on VTY because SSH encrypts traffic.
  3. Set an interface description to each administrator name.
  4. Create named local users with secret hashes and require login local on the relevant lines.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Local account login allows individual credentials and avoids a shared reusable line password when correctly configured.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A common weak password removes accountability and is easily guessed.

B:

Encryption alone does not provide user authentication.

C:

Descriptions do not create IOS login accounts.

Question 620

At a media studio, an implementation partner needs to protect an IOS privileged EXEC secret from appearing as readable plaintext in configuration. Which choice best addresses the stated requirement?

  1. Use reversible type 7 password encoding instead of a strong one-way privileged EXEC secret.
  2. Configure enable secret with a supported strong hash algorithm.
  3. Use only a console banner that says authorized users only.
  4. Use only enable password in clear text.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

enable secret stores a one-way representation instead of a reversible cleartext enable password.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Reversible obfuscation does not deliver the protection of a supported hashed enable secret.

C:

Banners do not enforce privileged authentication.

D:

The legacy enable password is weaker and may appear in config.
