Question 1030
A network upgrade at Harborview Logistics has two requirements: (1) distinguish a software flaw from an attacker action exploiting it, and (2) disable a switchport after a port-security violation. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.
Explanation
Correct Answers
Correct for outcome (1): A vulnerability is an exposure; an exploit is a technique that takes advantage of that exposure. The other outcome needs its separate action.
Correct for outcome (2): The shutdown violation mode puts the protected interface into an error-disabled state on violation. It complements the first required control.
Incorrect Answers
Not selected: Recognize WPA as older and prefer stronger supported alternatives is for identify a wireless security mode using legacy TKIP and known weaknesses. WPA introduced improvements over WEP but its TKIP design is weaker than modern WPA2/WPA3. This is not one of the two required changes.
Not selected: Apply unique credentials with a password manager and rotation policy is for reduce password reuse across device administrators. Unique secrets prevent one compromise from automatically exposing all devices. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.
Not selected: Inspect show access-lists counters on the device is for verify which ACL entries have matches during traffic tests. IOS ACL match counters can show which permit or deny clauses see selected traffic. This is outside the two requested outcomes.
