Question 200
At the Whitford regional hospital, an unknown laptop gains unrestricted office LAN access because the switch port has no authentication requirement. How should the organization sustain the improvement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The team should monitor authentication failures and certificate lifecycle. That recurring practice targets the same weakness, namely that open access ports cannot distinguish authorized identities before granting network privileges. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Whitford regional hospital.
Incorrect Answers
Audit role policy mappings and authentication enforcement after directory changes. Its technical scope is explained by: port-only VLAN membership does not express changing identity-driven access requirements reliably, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. In this question, the decisive issue is: open access ports cannot distinguish authorized identities before granting network privileges. That is why the offered option is not the most direct recurrence control.
The option states: Recheck relay destinations whenever DHCP service addresses move. The source describes its associated mechanism as: layer 3 separation blocks local broadcast discovery without an approved relay path, the required evidence must show that a test client receives the correct scope address and relay logs show the exchange. By contrast, the current situation is governed by: open access ports cannot distinguish authorized identities before granting network privileges. Choosing this alternative would leave the question’s specific recurrence control unresolved.
Alert on OSPF neighbor down events and compare interface templates. This option is based on the following distinct technical behavior: area or hello mismatch on adjacent interfaces prevents normal OSPF peering, the required evidence must show that neighbor state reaches Full and expected link state routes are installed. The present question instead depends on this mechanism: open access ports cannot distinguish authorized identities before granting network privileges. That difference matters for the requested recurrence control.
