Question 1070
An operations ticket for Granite Works has two requirements: (1) avoid transmitting an administrator password in cleartext to a router CLI, and (2) secure browser-based device administration on a WLC. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Both outcomes are covered: (1) SSH encrypts remote terminal data and authentication, whereas Telnet does not. (2) HTTPS uses TLS to protect management web sessions in transit. Neither action is a substitute for the other.
Incorrect Answers
Neither step is the requested pair: Avoid BPDU filter on unmanaged switch-to-switch links is for explain why indiscriminate BPDU filtering risks a bridging loop, and Treat CDP and LLDP neighbors as directly connected Layer 2 evidence is for differentiate topology discovery from actual routing reachability. Suppressing BPDUs can hide redundant links from spanning-tree loop prevention. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.
The first step covers (1), but the second addresses understand Rapid PVST+ alternate-port behavior. An alternate port provides a backup path that does not forward user frames during normal loop-free operation. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.
The second step covers (2), but the first addresses diagnose why a new AP cannot join its WLC despite an active Ethernet port. Layer 1 link up alone does not establish controller discovery and join reachability. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.
