Question 620
A central services VLAN is on the approved trunk but a new access port uses a mismatched untagged VLAN. Which ongoing operational safeguard best reduces the chance of recurrence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is a continuing control for the failure mode in which the endpoint is placed into a different broadcast domain than the required service. It complements the immediate fix instead of relying on a one-off correction.
Incorrect Answers
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when two campuses are connected over a routed WAN, but a team expects a new Layer 2 VLAN to extend automatically to the remote building. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when a floor switch responds on the out-of-band management port, but traffic sourced from its default VRF cannot reach the telemetry server. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when a campus uses a highly available DNS name for the NAC service, yet one site resolves an obsolete server address. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
