Certified Information Systems Security Professional CISSP Practice Test 27

Question 260

The organization implemented the response to this scenario: Two customers share a provider edge but route tables inadvertently leak one customer's private prefixes into another tenant. The approved response was: Separate routing contexts using approved virtual routing/forwarding and verify route import/export policies. Which statement MOST accurately identifies a remaining risk or constraint?

  1. Control-plane misconfiguration can still leak routes despite separate named contexts.
  2. Creating separate VRF identifiers guarantees route isolation regardless of incorrect import policy.
  3. A private address range can never be reachable from another customer because both use RFC1918 addresses.
  4. Filtering internet ingress ensures provider-side tenant routes cannot exchange internal prefixes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

VRF isolation prevents unintended route exchange between logically separate tenants. A tenant A prefix is unreachable from tenant B and permitted shared services remain routed.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Misconfigured control-plane policies can leak prefixes despite VRF names.

C:

Private address assignment does not itself create routing separation.

D:

External perimeter rules do not verify cross-tenant route distribution.

Question 261

Management implemented a response after this event: Two customers share a provider edge but route tables inadvertently leak one customer's private prefixes into another tenant. The response was: Separate routing contexts using approved virtual routing/forwarding and verify route import/export policies. Which observed outcome BEST verifies that the intended security protection operates, rather than merely appearing in a plan?

  1. Tenant route tables have distinct names but a customer B probe still reaches tenant A internal networks.
  2. A provider diagram shows logical tenants but route export tests reveal unauthorized peer-prefix learning.
  3. A tenant A prefix is unreachable from tenant B and permitted shared services remain routed.
  4. Internet scans show no open ports while a private inter-tenant route leak remains functional.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A tenant A prefix is unreachable from tenant B and permitted shared services remain routed. VRF isolation prevents unintended route exchange between logically separate tenants.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Separate labels cannot establish effective route isolation.

B:

Architectural intention is not tested forwarding and import policy.

D:

Public exposure checks do not prove internal tenant route separation.

Question 262

A centrally programmed network controller uses a single permanent administrator token for every automation client. As the accountable security practitioner, which response BEST addresses the specific weakness without introducing a different untested control?

  1. Protect the SDN control plane with strong identities, scoped API authorization and auditable change control.
  2. Continue distributing one permanent controller administrator token to all automation clients.
  3. Hide the SDN controller management URL but retain anonymous rule-change API permissions.
  4. Use redundant controllers without restricting who can push topology changes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A controller compromise can reprogram broad forwarding paths across the network. Controller high availability does not solve authorization or integrity of malicious policy changes.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A compromise of any client can reprogram broad forwarding rules across tenants.

C:

Obscurity cannot substitute for client authorization and auditable policy changes.

D:

High availability does not mitigate malicious or overprivileged control-plane commands.

Question 263

The organization implemented the response to this scenario: A centrally programmed network controller uses a single permanent administrator token for every automation client. The approved response was: Protect the SDN control plane with strong identities, scoped API authorization and auditable change control. Which statement MOST accurately identifies a remaining risk or constraint?

  1. Redundancy of SDN controllers automatically prevents policy changes made with stolen privileged credentials.
  2. Controller high availability does not solve authorization or integrity of malicious policy changes.
  3. One shared automation credential is sufficient accountability for changes from multiple clients.
  4. Concealing controller IP addresses establishes secure access even when automation tokens are unrestricted.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A controller compromise can reprogram broad forwarding paths across the network. A stolen low-privilege automation token cannot alter unrelated tenant forwarding rules.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Replicated management can spread the same unauthorized rule consistently.

C:

Shared identities obscure the actor and defeat least-privilege attribution.

D:

Resource obscurity cannot enforce differentiated API permissions.

Question 264

Management implemented a response after this event: A centrally programmed network controller uses a single permanent administrator token for every automation client. The response was: Protect the SDN control plane with strong identities, scoped API authorization and auditable change control. Which observed outcome BEST verifies that the intended security protection operates, rather than merely appearing in a plan?

  1. A low-trust automation client can add routes for an unrelated tenant using the shared token.
  2. Controller uptime is 100 percent while change logs cannot identify which client modified forwarding rules.
  3. The controller UI requires login, but a direct API endpoint accepts the shared administrator token from any runner.
  4. A stolen low-privilege automation token cannot alter unrelated tenant forwarding rules.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A stolen low-privilege automation token cannot alter unrelated tenant forwarding rules. A controller compromise can reprogram broad forwarding paths across the network.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Working automation does not prove scoped control-plane authority.

B:

Availability metrics are not authorization and accountability evidence.

C:

Presentation authentication does not demonstrate protected automation interfaces.

Question 265

Network engineers manage core routers through the same production network that disappears during an outage. Which architecture best preserves secure recovery?

  1. Run management SSH on a second VLAN sharing the same failed upstream switch.
  2. Give every operator permanent remote root access over the production interface.
  3. Rely on console configuration backups without any way to reach the devices.
  4. Provide an independently reachable, access-controlled out-of-band management network with emergency procedures.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Separating management transport from the failed data plane preserves authorized troubleshooting.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Logical VLAN separation does not remove the shared physical connectivity failure.

B:

Broader privilege neither creates an independent path nor preserves accountability.

C:

Configuration backup is useful but not a viable control channel during the outage.

Question 266

An out-of-band management modem survives a data-plane outage. What additional risk is MOST important?

  1. Management access should be completely unlogged so operators are fast.
  2. A poorly authenticated management interface can become a separate privileged attacker entry path.
  3. A separate transport automatically secures its administrator identities.
  4. Power supply redundancy always eliminates the need for a recovery channel.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Independent availability must be paired with restricted users, protocols and monitoring.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Removing auditability undermines accountability on a high-privilege channel.

C:

Transport independence does not establish user authentication or least privilege.

D:

Even redundant power cannot prevent software, routing or operator faults.

Question 267

Which exercise best demonstrates resilient out-of-band recovery?

  1. Disable the production data-plane path and have an authenticated administrator recover a router through isolated logged management access.
  2. Check that the out-of-band cable has a label.
  3. Verify the router forwards ordinary customer packets during normal operation.
  4. Confirm the console router's device model matches purchasing records.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

This fault test proves independence, availability and protected administrative control together.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Labeling cannot demonstrate actual network independence or secure authentication.

C:

Normal forwarding does not test the emergency management path.

D:

Hardware inventory alone does not prove reachability under failure.

Question 268

A network service uses anycast to reach a nearby node, but session data is only stored on the previous node. As the accountable security practitioner, which response BEST addresses the specific weakness without introducing a different untested control?

  1. Enable anycast for one service IP and assume it will copy session state between data centers.
  2. Route all clients to the nearest site but store critical transactions only in that site’s volatile memory.
  3. Design state continuity and session recovery independently from anycast routing.
  4. Increase BGP route preference without implementing application reconnect or session recovery logic.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Routing multiple sites under one destination IP does not replicate application session state. Anycast failover can redirect traffic mid-session and needs application-aware reconnection behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Anycast changes routing destinations; it does not replicate in-memory application state.

B:

Traffic relocation after failure can lose committed business state.

D:

Routing convergence alone cannot repair a missing session or transaction record.

Question 269

The organization implemented the response to this scenario: A network service uses anycast to reach a nearby node, but session data is only stored on the previous node. The approved response was: Design state continuity and session recovery independently from anycast routing. Which statement MOST accurately identifies a remaining risk or constraint?

  1. Anycast automatically migrates in-flight sessions when an endpoint changes sites.
  2. One service address guarantees the same stateful server handles every packet after a network topology change.
  3. Anycast failover can redirect traffic mid-session and needs application-aware reconnection behavior.
  4. Healthy BGP announcements prove application transactions are consistent across all sites.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Routing multiple sites under one destination IP does not replicate application session state. A failed site redirects new traffic and retained business state remains consistent.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Routing redirection may interrupt connections and requires application recovery design.

B:

Anycast changes the responding location as routes converge.

D:

Network reachability is separate from state replication and business integrity.

Question 270

Management implemented a response after this event: A network service uses anycast to reach a nearby node, but session data is only stored on the previous node. The response was: Design state continuity and session recovery independently from anycast routing. Which observed outcome BEST verifies that the intended security protection operates, rather than merely appearing in a plan?

  1. Clients connect to the anycast IP after failure but their recently committed orders vanish.
  2. BGP convergence is fast, yet authenticated users must restart workflows with lost state.
  3. The nearest site responds to ping while the recovered service cannot reconstruct an active transaction.
  4. A failed site redirects new traffic and retained business state remains consistent.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A failed site redirects new traffic and retained business state remains consistent. Routing multiple sites under one destination IP does not replicate application session state.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Reachability without state continuity does not meet the business recovery objective.

B:

A routing metric is not evidence of acceptable application failover.

C:

Layer 3 response does not demonstrate durable session or business data.
