Question 710
A policy requires restricted services in a management VRF to reach a shared NTP system but forbids broad connectivity to the production user VRF. Which ongoing operational safeguard best reduces the chance of recurrence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is a continuing control for the failure mode in which VRF separation blocks required shared services unless an explicit controlled path exists. 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 an ACL allows a remote application subnet, yet a client cannot access it because the SVI has no route to that destination. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when an OSPF domain has duplicate router IDs after a lab switch image is cloned into production. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when a team adds a new L3 transit VLAN but configures the wrong IP mask on one side of the point-to-point link. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
