QUESTION NO: 3

Which two characteristics represent a blended threat? (Choose two.)
A. man-in-the-middle attack
B. trojan horse attack
C. pharming attack
D. denial of service attack
E. day zero attack
Answer: B,E Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/web/IN/about/network/threat_defense.html
Rogue developers create such threats by using worms, viruses, or application-embedded attacks. Botnets can be used to seed an attack, for example, rogue developers can use worms or application-embedded attacks, that is an attack that is hidden within application traffic such as web traffic or peer-to-peer shared files, to deposit "Trojans". This combination of attack techniques - a virus or worm used to deposit a Trojan, for example-is relatively new and is known as a blended attack. A blended attack can also occur in phases: an initial attack of a virus with a Trojan that might open up an unsecured port on a computer, disable an access control list (ACL), or disarm antivirus software, with the goal of a more devastating attack to follow soon after. Host Firewall on servers and desktops/laptops, day zero protection & intelligent behavioral based protection from application vulnerability and related flaws (within or inserted by virus, worms or Trojans) provided great level of confidence on what is happening within an organization on a normal day and when there is a attack situation, which segment and what has gone wrong and gives flexibility and control to stop such situations by having linkages of such devices with monitoring, log-analysis and event co-relation system.

QUESTION NO: 5
Refer to the exhibit.

What does the option secret 5 in the username global configuration mode command indicate about the user password?
A. It is hashed using SHA.
B. It is encrypted using DH group 5.
C. It is hashed using MD5.
D. It is encrypted using the service password-encryption command.
E. It is hashed using a proprietary Cisco hashing algorithm.
F. It is encrypted using a proprietary Cisco encryption algorithm.
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0s/feature/guide/120s_md5.html
Feature Overview Using the Enhanced Password Security feature, you can configure MD5 encryption for username passwords. Before the introduction of this feature there were two types of passwords associated with usernames. Type 0 is a clear text password visible to any user who has access to privileged mode on the router. Type 7 is a password with a weak, exclusive-or type encryption. Type 7 passwords can be retrieved from the encrypted text by using publicly available tools.

MD5 encryption is a one-way hash function that makes reversal of an encrypted password impossible, providing strong encryption protection. Using MD5 encryption, you cannot retrieve clear text passwords. MD5 encrypted passwords cannot be used with protocols that require that the clear text password be retrievable, such as Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).
Use the username (secret) command to configure a user name and an associated MD5 encrypted secret. Configuring Enhanced Security Password Router(config)# username name secret 0 password Configures a username and encrypts a clear text password with MD5 encryption. or Router(config)# username name secret 5 encrypted-secret Configures a username and enters an MD5 encrypted text string which is stored as the MD5 encrypted password for the specified username.


QUESTION NO: 6
What does level 5 in this enable secret global configuration mode command indicate?
router#enable secret level 5 password
A. The enable secret password is hashed using MD5.
B. The enable secret password is hashed using SHA.
C. The enable secret password is encrypted using Cisco proprietary level 5 encryption.
D. Set the enable secret command to privilege level 5.
E. The enable secret password is for accessing exec privilege level 5.
Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2/security/configuration/guide/scfpass.html
To configure the router to require an enable password, use either of the following commands in global configuration mode: Router(config)# enable password [level level] {password| encryption-type encrypted-password} Establishes a password for a privilege command mode. Router(config)# enable secret [level level] {password | encryption-type encrypted-password} Specifies a secret password, saved using a non-reversible encryption method. (If enable password and enable secret are both set, users must enter the enable secret password.)

Use either of these commands with the level option to define a password for a specific privilege level. After you specify the level and set a password, give the password only to users who need to have access at this level. Use the privilege level configuration command to specify commands accessible at various levels.

QUESTION NO: 8
Which option is the correct representation of the IPv6 address 2001:0000:150C:0000:0000:41B1:45A3:041D?
A. 2001::150c::41b1:45a3:041d

B. 2001:0:150c:0::41b1:45a3:04d1
C. 2001:150c::41b1:45a3::41d
D. 2001:0:150c::41b1:45a3:41d
Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/web/strategy/docs/gov/IPv6_WP.pdf Address Representation The first area to address is how to represent these 128 bits. Due to the size of the numbering space, hexadecimal numbers and colons were chosen to represent IPv6 addresses. An example IPv6 address is: 2001:0DB8:130F:0000:0000:7000:0000:140B Note the following:
.
There is no case sensitivity. Lower case ��a�� means the same as capital ��A��.

.
There are 16 bits in each grouping between the colons.


�C 8 fields * 16 bits/field = 128 bits There are some accepted ways to shorten the representation of the above address:
.
Leading zeroes can be omitted, so a field of zeroes can be represented by a single 0.

.
Trailing zeroes must be represented.

.
Successive fields of zeroes can be shortened down to ��::��. This shorthand representation can only occur once in the address. Taking these rules into account, the address shown above can be shortened to: 2001:0DB8:130F:0000:0000:7000:0000:140B 2001:DB8:130F:0:0:7000:0:140B (Leading zeroes) 2001:DB8:130F:0:0:7000:0:140B (Trailing zeroes) 2001:DB8:130F::7000:0:140B (Successive field of zeroes)




QUESTION NO: 9
Which three options are common examples of AAA implementation on Cisco routers? (Choose three.)
A. authenticating remote users who are accessing the corporate LAN through IPsec VPN connections
B. authenticating administrator access to the router console port, auxiliary port, and vty ports
C. implementing PKI to authenticate and authorize IPsec VPN peers using digital certificates
D. tracking Cisco NetFlow accounting statistics
E. securing the router by locking down all unused services
F. performing router commands authorization using TACACS+

Answer: A,B,F Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6638/products_data_sheet09186a00804fe332.html
Need for AAA Services Security for user access to the network and the ability to dynamically define a user's profile to gain access to network resources has a legacy dating back to asynchronous dial access. AAA network security services provide the primary framework through which a network administrator can set up access control on network points of entry or network access servers, which is usually the function of a router or access server.
Authentication identifies a user; authorization determines what that user can do; and accounting monitors the network usage time for billing purposes. AAA information is typically stored in an external database or remote server such as RADIUS or TACACS+. The information can also be stored locally on the access server or router. Remote security servers, such as RADIUS and TACACS+, assign users specific privileges by associating attribute-value (AV) pairs, which define the access rights with the appropriate user. All authorization methods must be defined through AAA.


QUESTION NO: 10
When AAA login authentication is configured on Cisco routers, which two authentication methods should be used as the final method to ensure that the administrator can still log in to the router in case the external AAA server fails? (Choose two.)
A. group RADIUS
B. group TACACS+
C. local
D. krb5
E. enable
F. if-authenticated
Answer: C,E Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2/security/configuration/guide/scftplus.html
TACACS+ Authentication Examples The following example shows how to configure TACACS+ as the security protocol for PPP authentication: aaa new-model aaa authentication ppp test group tacacs+ local tacacs-server host 10.1.2.3 tacacs-server key goaway interface serial 0 ppp authentication chap pap test The lines in the preceding sample configuration are defined as follows:

.
The aaa new-model command enables the AAA security services.

.
The aaa authentication command defines a method list, "test," to be used on serial interfaces running PPP. The keyword group tacacs+ means that authentication will be done through TACACS+. If TACACS+ returns an ERROR of some sort during authentication, the keyword local indicates that authentication will be attempted using the local database on the network access server. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk59/technologies_tech_note09186a00800946a3.shtml Authentication Start to configure TAC+ on the router. Enter enable mode and type configure terminal before the command set. This command syntax ensures that you are not locked out of the router initially, providing the tac_plus_executable is not running: !--- Turn on TAC+. aaa new-model enable password whatever !--- These are lists of authentication methods. !--- "linmethod", "vtymethod", "conmethod", and !--- so on are names of lists, and the methods !--- listed on the same lines are the methods !--- in the order to be tried. As used here, if !--- authentication fails due to the !--- tac_plus_executable not being started, the !--- enable password is accepted because !--- it is in each list. ! aaa authentication login linmethod tacacs+ enable aaa authentication login vtymethod tacacs+ enable aaa authentication login conmethod tacacs+ enable




QUESTION NO: 11
Which two characteristics of the TACACS+ protocol are true? (Choose two.)

A. uses UDP ports 1645 or 1812
B. separates AAA functions
C. encrypts the body of every packet
D. offers extensive accounting capabilities
E. is an open RFC standard protocol
Answer: B,C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk59/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094e99.shtml
Packet Encryption RADIUS encrypts only the password in the access-request packet, from the client to the server. The remainder of the packet is unencrypted. Other information, such as username, authorized services, and accounting, can be captured by a third party. TACACS+ encrypts the entire body of the packet but leaves a standard TACACS+ header. Within the header is a field that indicates whether the body is encrypted or not. For debugging purposes, it is useful to have the body of the packets unencrypted. However, during normal operation, the body of the packet is fully encrypted for more secure communications. Authentication and Authorization RADIUS combines authentication and authorization. The access-accept packets sent by the RADIUS server to the client contain authorization information. This makes it difficult to decouple authentication and authorization.
TACACS+ uses the AAA architecture, which separates AAA. This allows separate authentication solutions that can still use TACACS+ for authorization and accounting. For example, with TACACS+, it is possible to use Kerberos authentication and TACACS+ authorization and accounting. After a NAS authenticates on a Kerberos server, it requests authorization information from a TACACS+ server without having to re-authenticate. The NAS informs the TACACS+ server that it has successfully authenticated on a Kerberos server, and the server then provides authorization information.
During a session, if additional authorization checking is needed, the access server checks with a TACACS+ server to determine if the user is granted permission to use a particular command. This provides greater control over the commands that can be executed on the access server while decoupling from the authentication mechanism.

Which statement about this output is true?
A. The user logged into the router with the incorrect username and password.
B. The login failed because there was no default enable password.
C. The login failed because the password entered was incorrect.
D. The user logged in and was given privilege level 15.

Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2/debug/command/reference/dbfaaa.html
debug aaa authentication To display information on AAA/Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus (TACACS+) authentication, use the debug aaa authentication privileged EXEC command. To disable debugging command, use the no form of the command. debug aaa authentication no debug aaa authentication The following is sample output from the debug aaa authentication command. A single EXEC login that uses the "default" method list and the first method, TACACS+, is displayed. The TACACS+ server sends a GETUSER request to prompt for the username and then a GETPASS request to prompt for the password, and finally a PASS response to indicate a successful login. The number 50996740 is the session ID, which is unique for each authentication. Use this ID number to distinguish between different authentications if several are occurring concurrently.

The Order in Which You Enter Criteria Statements Note that each additional criteria statement that you enter is appended to the end of the access list statements.
Also note that you cannot delete individual statements after they have been created. You can only delete an entire access list.
The order of access list statements is important! When the router is deciding whether to forward or block a packet, the Cisco IOS software tests the packet against each criteria statement in the order in which the statements were created. After a match is found, no more criteria statements are checked.

If you create a criteria statement that explicitly permits all traffic, no statements added later will ever be checked. If you need additional statements, you must delete the access list and retype it with the new entries.
Apply an Access Control List to an Interface With some protocols, you can apply up to two access lists to an interface: one inbound access list and one outbound access list. With other protocols, you apply only one access list that checks both inbound and outbound packets.
If the access list is inbound, when a device receives a packet, Cisco software checks the access list's criteria statements for a match. If the packet is permitted, the software continues to process the packet. If the packet is denied, the software discards the packet.
If the access list is outbound, after receiving and routing a packet to the outbound interface, Cisco software checks the access list's criteria statements for a match. If the packet is permitted, the software transmits the packet. If the packet is denied, the software discards the packet.
Note Access lists that are applied to interfaces on a device do not filter traffic that originates from that device. The access list check is bypassed for locally generated packets, which are always outbound. By default, an access list that is applied to an outbound interface for matching locally generated traffic will bypass the outbound access list check; but transit traffic is subjected to the outbound access list check.

D. object groups
Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa82/configuration/guide/objectgroups.html

Information About Object Groups By grouping like objects together, you can use the object group in an ACE instead of having to enter an ACE for each object separately. You can create the following types of object groups:
.
Protocol

.
Network

.
Service

.
ICMP type For example, consider the following three object groups:

.
MyServices��Includes the TCP and UDP port numbers of the service requests that are allowed access to the internal network.

.
TrustedHosts��Includes the host and network addresses allowed access to the greatest range of services and servers.

.
PublicServers��Includes the host addresses of servers to which the greatest access is provided. After creating these groups, you could use a single ACE to allow trusted hosts to make specific service requests to a group of public servers. You can also nest object groups in other object groups.

You have been tasked by your manager to implement syslog in your network. Which option is an important factor to consider in your implementation?
A. Use SSH to access your syslog information.
B. Enable the highest level of syslog function available to ensure that all possible event messages are logged.
C. Log all messages to the system buffer so that they can be displayed when accessing the router.
D. Synchronize clocks on the network with a protocol such as Network Time Protocol.

Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Security/Baseline_Security/sec_chap5.html
Time Synchronization When implementing network telemetry, it is important that dates and times are both accurate and synchronized across all network infrastructure devices. Without time synchronization, it is very difficult to correlate different sources of telemetry.
Enabling Network Time Protocol (NTP) is the most common method of time synchronization. General best common practices for NTP include:
.
A common, single time zone is recommended across an entire network infrastructure in order to enable the consistency & synchronization of time across all network devices.

.
The time source should be from an authenticated, limited set of authorized NTP servers. Detailed information on NTP and NTP deployment architectures is available in the Network Time Protocol: Best Practices White Paper at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/126/ntpm.pdf Timestamps and NTP Configuration In Cisco IOS, the steps to enable timestamps and NTP include:


Step 1 Enable timestamp information for debug messages. Step 2 Enable timestamp information for log messages. Step 3 Define the network-wide time zone. Step 4 Enable summertime adjustments. Step 5 Restrict which devices can communicate with this device as an NTP server. Step 6 Restrict which devices can communicate with this device as an NTP peer. Step 7 Define the source IP address to be used for NTP packets. Step 8 Enable NTP authentication. Step 9 Define the NTP servers. Step 10 Define the NTP peers. Step 11 Enable NTP to update the device hardware clock


QUESTION NO: 18
Which protocol secures router management session traffic?
A. SSTP
B. POP

C. Telnet
D. SSH
Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_tech_note09186a0080120f48.shtml
Encrypting Management Sessions
Because information can be disclosed during an interactive management session, this traffic must be encrypted so that a malicious user cannot gain access to the data being transmitted. Encrypting the traffic allows a secure remote access connection to the device. If the traffic for a management session is sent over the network in cleartext, an attacker can obtain sensitive information about the device and the network. An administrator is able to establish an encrypted and secure remote access management connection to a device by using the SSH or HTTPS (Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol) features. Cisco IOS software supports SSH version 1.0 (SSHv1), SSH version 2.0 (SSHv2), and HTTPS that uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) for authentication and data encryption. Note that SSHv1 and SSHv2 are not compatible.
Cisco IOS software also supports the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP), which allows an encrypted and secure connection for copying device configurations or software images. SCP relies on SSH. This example configuration enables SSH on a Cisco IOS device: ! ip domain-name example.com ! crypto key generate rsa modulus 2048 ! ip ssh time-out 60 ip ssh authentication-retries 3 ip ssh source-interface GigabitEthernet 0/1 ! line vty 0 4 transport input ssh !

QUESTION NO: 20
Which command enables Cisco IOS image resilience?
A. secure boot-
B. secure boot-running-config
C. secure boot-start
D. secure boot-image
Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/security/command/reference/sec_book.html
secure boot-config To take a snapshot of the router running configuration and securely archive it in persistent storage, use the secure boot-config command in global configuration mode. To remove the secure configuration archive and disable configuration resilience, use the no form of this command.
secure boot-config [restore filename] no secure boot-config Usage Guidelines

Without any parameters, this command takes a snapshot of the router running configuration and securely archives it in persistent storage. Like the image, the configuration archive is hidden and cannot be viewed or removed directly from the command-line interface (CLI) prompt . It is recommended that you run this command after the router has been fully configured to reach a steady state of operation and the running configuration is considered complete for a restoration, if required. A syslog message is printed on the console notifying the user of configuration resilience activation. The secure archive uses the time of creation as its filename. For example, .runcfg-20020616-081702.ar was created July 16 2002 at 8:17:02.
The restore option reproduces a copy of the secure configuration archive as the supplied filename (disk0:running-config, slot1:runcfg, and so on). The restore operation will work only if configuration resilience is enabled. The number of restored copies that can be created is unlimited.
The no form of this command removes the secure configuration archive and disables configuration resilience.
An enable, disable, enable sequence has the effect of upgrading the configuration archive if any changes were made to the running configuration since the last time the feature was disabled. The configuration upgrade scenario is similar to an image upgrade. The feature detects a different version of Cisco IOS and notifies the user of a version mismatch. The same command can be run to upgrade the configuration archive to a newer version after new configuration commands corresponding to features in the new image have been issued.
The correct sequence of steps to upgrade the configuration archive after an image upgrade is as follows:
.
Configure new commands

.
Issue the secure boot-config command secure boot-image To enable Cisco IOS image resilience, use the secure boot-image command in global configuration mode. To disable Cisco IOS image resilience and release the secured image so that it can be safely removed, use the no form of this command.

secure boot-image no secure boot-image Usage Guidelines This command enables or disables the securing of the running Cisco IOS image. The following two possible scenarios exist with this command.

.
When turned on for the first time, the running image (as displayed in the show version command output) is secured, and a syslog entry is generated. This command will function properly only when the system is configured to run an image from a disk with an Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) interface. Images booted from a TFTP server cannot be secured. Because this command has the effect of "hiding" the running image, the image file will not be included in any

directory listing of the disk. The no form of this command releases the image so that it can be safely removed.

.
If the router is configured to boot up with Cisco IOS resilience and an image with a different version of Cisco IOS is detected, a message similar to the following is displayed at bootup: ios resilience :Archived image and configuration version 12.2 differs from running version 12.3. Run secure boot-config and image commands to upgrade archives to running version. To upgrade the image archive to the new running image, reenter this command from the console. A message will be displayed about the upgraded image. The old image is released and will be visible in the dir command output.





QUESTION NO: 21
Which router management feature provides for the ability to configure multiple administrative views?
A. role-based CLI
B. virtual routing and forwarding
C. secure config privilege {level}
D. parser view view name
Answer: A Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t7/feature/guide/gtclivws.html
Role-Based CLI Access The Role-Based CLI Access feature allows the network administrator to define "views," which are a set of operational commands and configuration capabilities that provide selective or partial access to Cisco IOS EXEC and configuration (Config) mode commands. Views restrict user access to Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) and configuration information; that is, a view can define what commands are accepted and what configuration information is visible. Thus, network administrators can exercise better control over access to Cisco networking devices.
QUESTION NO: 22
You suspect that an attacker in your network has configured a rogue Layer 2 device to intercept traffic from multiple VLANs, which allows the attacker to capture potentially sensitive data.

Which two methods will help to mitigate this type of activity? (Choose two.)
A. Turn off all trunk ports and manually configure each VLAN as required on each port.
B. Place unused active ports in an unused VLAN.
C. Secure the native VLAN, VLAN 1, with encryption.
D. Set the native VLAN on the trunk ports to an unused VLAN.
E. Disable DTP on ports that require trunking.

Answer: D,E Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/configuration/guide/layer2. html
Layer 2 LAN Port Modes Table 17-2 lists the Layer 2 LAN port modes and describes how they function on LAN ports. switchport mode access Puts the LAN port into permanent nontrunking mode and negotiates to convert the link into a nontrunk link. The LAN port becomes a nontrunk port even if the neighboring LAN port does not agree to the change.
switchport mode dynamic desirable Makes the LAN port actively attempt to convert the link to a trunk link. The LAN port becomes a trunk port if the neighboring LAN port is set to trunk, desirable, or auto mode. This is the default mode for all LAN ports.
switchport mode dynamic auto Makes the LAN port willing to convert the link to a trunk link. The LAN port becomes a trunk port if the neighboring LAN port is set to trunk or desirable mode. switchport mode trunk Puts the LAN port into permanent trunking mode and negotiates to convert the link into a trunk link. The LAN port becomes a trunk port even if the neighboring port does not agree to the change.
switchport nonegotiate Puts the LAN port into permanent trunking mode but prevents the port from generating DTP frames. You must configure the neighboring port manually as a trunk port to establish a trunk link.

Double Encapsulation Attack When double-encapsulated 802.1Q packets are injected into the network from a device whose VLAN happens to be the native VLAN of a trunk, the VLAN identification of those packets cannot be preserved from end to end since the 802.1Q trunk would always modify the packets by stripping their outer tag. After the external tag is removed, the internal tag permanently becomes the packet's only VLAN identifier. Therefore, by doubleencapsulating packets with two different tags, traffic can be made to hop across VLANs.
This scenario is to be considered a misconfiguration, since the 802.1Q standard does not necessarily force the users to use the native VLAN in these cases. As a matter of fact, the proper configuration that should always be used is to clear the native VLAN from all 802.1Q trunks (alternatively, setting them to 802.1q-all-tagged mode achieves the exact same result). In cases where the native VLAN cannot be cleared, then always pick an unused VLAN as native VLAN of all the trunks; don't use this VLAN for any other purpose.
Protocols like STP, DTP, and UDLD (check out [3]) should be the only rightful users of the native VLAN and their traffic should be completely isolated from any data packets.

QUESTION NO: 24
Which type of Layer 2 attack causes a switch to flood all incoming traffic to all ports?
A. MAC spoofing attack
B. CAM overflow attack
C. VLAN hopping attack
D. STP attack
Answer: B Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps708/white_paper_c11_603836.htm lSummary The MAC Address Overflow attack is effective if the proper mitigation techniques are not in place on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switch. By using publicly (free) and available Layer 2 attack tools found on the Internet, anyone who understands how to setup and run these tools could potentially launch an attack on your network.
MAC address monitoring is a feature present on Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. This feature helps mitigate MAC address flooding and other CAM overflow attacks by limiting the total number of MAC addresses learned by the switch on per-port or per-VLAN basis. With MAC Address Monitoring, a maximum threshold for the total number of MAC addresses can be configured and enforced on a per-port and/or per-VLAN basis.
MAC address monitoring in Cisco IOS Software allows the definition of a single upper (maximum) threshold. In addition, the number of MAC addresses learned can only be monitored on a per-port or per-VLAN basis, and not a per-port-per-VLAN. By default, MAC address monitoring is disabled in Cisco IOS Software. However, the maximum threshold for all ports and VLANs is configured to 500 MAC address entries, and when the threshold is exceeded the system is set to generate a system message along with a syslog trap. These default values take effect only when MAC address monitoring is enabled. The system can be configured to notify or disable the port or VLAN every time the number of learned MAC addresses exceeds the predefined threshold. In our test, we used the "mac-address-table limit" command on the access layer port interface to configure the MAC address monitoring feature.



QUESTION NO: 25
What is the best way to prevent a VLAN hopping attack?
A. Encapsulate trunk ports with IEEE 802.1Q.
B. Physically secure data closets.
C. Disable DTP negotiations.
D. Enable BDPU guard.
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_white_paper09186a00801315 9f.shtml 802.1Q and ISL Tagging Attack Tagging attacks are malicious schemes that allow a user on a VLAN to get unauthorized access to another VLAN. For example, if a switch port were configured as DTP auto and were to receive a fake DTP packet, it might become a trunk port and it might start accepting traffic destined for any VLAN. Therefore, a malicious user could start communicating with other VLANs through that compromised port. Sometimes, even when simply receiving regular packets, a switch port may behave like a full-fledged trunk port (for example, accept packets for VLANs different from the native), even if it is not supposed to. This is commonly referred to as "VLAN leaking" (see [5] for a report on a similar issue).


QUESTION NO: 26
Which statement about PVLAN Edge is true?
A. PVLAN Edge can be configured to restrict the number of MAC addresses that appear on a single port.
B. The switch does not forward any traffic from one protected port to any other protected port.

C. By default, when a port policy error occurs, the switchport shuts down.
D. The switch only forwards traffic to ports within the same VLAN Edge.
Answer: B Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk814/technologies_configuration_example09186a008017 acad.shtml Note: Some switches (as specified in the Private VLAN Catalyst Switch Support Matrix ) currently support only the PVLAN Edge feature. The term "protected ports" also refers to this feature. PVLAN Edge ports have a restriction that prevents communication with other protected ports on the same switch. Protected ports on separate switches, however, can communicate with each other. Do not confuse this feature with the normal PVLAN configurations that this document shows. For more information on protected ports, refer to the Configuring Port Security section of the document Configuring Port-Based Traffic Control. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3550/software/release/12.1_13_ea1/config uration/guide/swtrafc.html
Configuring Protected Ports Some applications require that no traffic be forwarded between ports on the same switch so that one neighbor does not see the traffic generated by another neighbor. In such an environment, the use of protected ports ensures that there is no exchange of unicast, broadcast, or multicast traffic between these ports on the switch.
Protected ports have these features:
.
A protected port does not forward any traffic (unicast, multicast, or broadcast) to any other port that is also a protected port. Traffic cannot be forwarded between protected ports at Layer 2; all traffic passing between protected ports must be forwarded through a Layer 3 device.

.
Forwarding behavior between a protected port and a nonprotected port proceeds as usual. The default is to have no protected ports defined.

QUESTION NO: 28
When Cisco IOS zone-based policy firewall is configured, which three actions can be applied to a traffic class? (Choose three.)
A. pass
B. police
C. inspect
D. drop
E. queue
F. shape
Answer: A,C,D Explanation:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps1018/products_tech_note09186a00808bc994 .shtml
Zone-Based Policy Firewall Actions ZFW provides three actions for traffic that traverses from one zone to another: Drop��This is the default action for all traffic, as applied by the "class class-default" that terminates every inspect-type policy-map. Other class-maps within a policy-map can also be configured to drop unwanted traffic. Traffic that is handled by the drop action is "silently" dropped (i.e., no notification of the drop is sent to the relevant end-host) by the ZFW, as opposed to an ACL's behavior of sending an ICMP ��host unreachable�� message to the host that sent the denied traffic. Currently, there is not an option to change the "silent drop" behavior. The log option can be added with drop for syslog notification that traffic was dropped by the firewall.
Pass��This action allows the router to forward traffic from one zone to another. The pass action does not track the state of connections or sessions within the traffic. Pass only allows the traffic in one direction. A corresponding policy must be applied to allow return traffic to pass in the opposite direction. The pass action is useful for protocols such as IPSec ESP, IPSec AH, ISAKMP, and other inherently secure protocols with predictable behavior. However, most application traffic is better handled in the ZFW with the inspect action.
Inspect��The inspect action offers state-based traffic control. For example, if traffic from the private zone to the Internet zone in the earlier example network is inspected, the router maintains connection or session information for TCP and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) traffic. Therefore, the router permits return traffic sent from Internet-zone hosts in reply to private zone connection requests. Also, inspect can provide application inspection and control for certain service protocols that might carry vulnerable or sensitive application traffic. Audit-trail can be applied with a parameter-map to record connection/session start, stop, duration, the data volume transferred, and source and destination addresses.


QUESTION NO: 29
With Cisco IOS zone-based policy firewall, by default, which three types of traffic are permitted by the router when some of the router interfaces are assigned to a zone? (Choose three.)
A. traffic flowing between a zone member interface and any interface that is not a zone member
B. traffic flowing to and from the router interfaces (the self zone)
C. traffic flowing among the interfaces that are members of the same zone D. traffic flowing among the interfaces that are not assigned to any zone

E. traffic flowing between a zone member interface and another interface that belongs in a different zone
F. traffic flowing to the zone member interface that is returned traffic
Answer: B,C,D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps1018/products_tech_note09186a00808bc994 .shtml
Rules For Applying Zone-Based Policy Firewall Router network interfaces�� membership in zones is subject to several rules that govern interface behavior, as is the traffic moving between zone member interfaces: A zone must be configured before interfaces can be assigned to the zone. An interface can be assigned to only one security zone. All traffic to and from a given interface is implicitly blocked when the interface is assigned to a zone, except traffic to and from other interfaces in the same zone, and traffic to any interface on the router.
Traffic is implicitly allowed to flow by default among interfaces that are members of the same zone. In order to permit traffic to and from a zone member interface, a policy allowing or inspecting traffic must be configured between that zone and any other zone. The self zone is the only exception to the default deny all policy. All traffic to any router interface is allowed until traffic is explicitly denied. Traffic cannot flow between a zone member interface and any interface that is not a zone member. Pass, inspect, and drop actions can only be applied between two zones. Interfaces that have not been assigned to a zone function as classical router ports and might still use classical stateful inspection/CBAC configuration. If it is required that an interface on the box not be part of the zoning/firewall policy. It might still be necessary to put that interface in a zone and configure a pass all policy (sort of a dummy policy) between that zone and any other zone to which traffic flow is desired. From the preceding it follows that, if traffic is to flow among all the interfaces in a router, all the interfaces must be part of the zoning model (each interface must be a member of one zone or another). The only exception to the preceding deny by default approach is the traffic to and from the router, which will be permitted by default. An explicit policy can be configured to restrict such traffic.


QUESTION NO: 30
Which option is a key difference between Cisco IOS interface ACL configurations and Cisco ASA

appliance interface ACL configurations?
A. The Cisco IOS interface ACL has an implicit permit-all rule at the end of each interface ACL.
B. Cisco IOS supports interface ACL and also global ACL. Global ACL is applied to all interfaces.
C. The Cisco ASA appliance interface ACL configurations use netmasks instead of wildcard masks.
D. The Cisco ASA appliance interface ACL also applies to traffic directed to the IP addresses of the Cisco ASA appliance interfaces.
E. The Cisco ASA appliance does not support standard ACL. The Cisco ASA appliance only support extended ACL.
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa82/configuration/guide/acl_extended.html Additional Guidelines and Limitations The following guidelines and limitations apply to creating an extended access list:
.
When you enter the access-list command for a given access list name, the ACE is added to the end of the access list unless you specify the line number.

.
Enter the access list name in uppercase letters so that the name is easy to see in the configuration. You might want to name the access list for the interface (for example, INSIDE), or you can name it for the purpose for which it is created (for example, NO_NAT or VPN).

.
Typically, you identify the ip keyword for the protocol, but other protocols are accepted. For a list of protocol names, see the "Protocols and Applications" section.

.
Enter the host keyword before the IP address to specify a single address. In this case, do not enter a mask. Enter the any keyword instead of the address and mask to specify any address.

.
You can specify the source and destination ports only for the tcp or udp protocols. For a list of permitted keywords and well-known port assignments, see the "TCP and UDP Ports" section. DNS, Discard, Echo, Ident, NTP, RPC, SUNRPC, and Talk each require one definition for TCP and one for UDP. TACACS+ requires one definition for port 49 on TCP.

.
You can specify the ICMP type only for the icmp protocol. Because ICMP is a connectionless protocol, you either need access lists to allow ICMP in both directions (by applying access lists to the source and destination interfaces), or you need to enable the ICMP inspection engine. (See the "Adding an ICMP Type Object Group" section.) The ICMP inspection engine treats ICMP sessions as stateful connections. To control ping, specify echo-reply (0) (ASA to host) or echo (8) (host to ASA). See the "Adding an ICMP Type Object Group" section for a list of ICMP types.

.
When you specify a network mask, the method is different from the Cisco IOS software access-list command. The ASA uses a network mask (for example, 255.255.255.0 for a Class C mask). The Cisco IOS mask uses wildcard bits (for example, 0.0.0.255).

.
To make an ACE inactive, use the inactive keyword. To reenable it, enter the entire ACE without the inactive keyword. This feature enables you to keep a record of an inactive ACE in your

configuration to make reenabling easier.

.
Use the disable option to disable logging for a specified ACE.





QUESTION NO: 31
Which two options are advantages of an application layer firewall? (Choose two.)
A. provides high-performance filtering
B. makes DoS attacks difficult
C. supports a large number of applications
D. authenticates devices
E. authenticates individuals
Answer: B,E Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps6032/ps6094/ps6120/prod_white_paper09 00aecd8058ec85.html
Adding Intrusion Prevention Gartner's definition of a next-generation firewall is one that combines firewall filtering and intrusion prevention systems (IPSs). Like firewalls, IPSs filter packets in real time. But instead of filtering based on user profiles and application policies, they scan for known malicious patterns in incoming code, called signatures. These signatures indicate the presence of malware, such as worms, Trojan horses, and spyware.
Malware can overwhelm server and network resources and cause denial of service (DoS) to internal employees, external Web users, or both. By filtering for known malicious signatures, IPSs add an extra layer of security to firewall capabilities; once the malware is detected by the IPS, the system will block it from the network. Firewalls provide the first line of defense in any organization's network security infrastructure. They do so by matching corporate policies about users' network access rights to the connection information surrounding each access attempt. If the variables don't match, the firewall blocks the access connection. If the variables do match, the firewall allows the acceptable traffic to flow through the network.
In this way, the firewall forms the basic building block of an organization's network security architecture. It pays to use one with superior performance to maximize network uptime for business-critical operations. The reason is that the rapid addition of voice, video, and collaborative traffic to corporate networks is driving the need for firewall engines that operate at very high speeds and that also support application-level inspection. While standard Layer 2 and Layer 3 firewalls prevent unauthorized access to internal and external networks, firewalls enhanced with application-level inspection examine, identify, and verify application types at Layer 7 to make sure unwanted or misbehaving application traffic doesn't join the network. With these capabilities, the firewall can enforce endpoint user registration and authentication and provide administrative control over the use of multimedia applications.



QUESTION NO: 32
Refer to the exhibit.

D. permit ip host 172.16.16.10 eq 80 host 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 eq 2300
Answer: A Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/security_management/cisco_security_manager/security _manager/4.1/user/guide/fwinsp.html
Understanding Inspection Rules Inspection rules configure Context-Based Access Control (CBAC) inspection commands. CBAC inspects traffic that travels through the device to discover and manage state information for TCP and UDP sessions. The device uses this state information to create temporary openings to allow return traffic and additional data connections for permissible sessions.

CBAC creates temporary openings in access lists at firewall interfaces. These openings are created when inspected traffic exits your internal network through the firewall. The openings allow returning traffic (that would normally be blocked) and additional data channels to enter your internal network back through the firewall. The traffic is allowed back through the firewall only if it is part of the same session as the original traffic that triggered inspection when exiting through the firewall.
Inspection rules are applied after your access rules, so any traffic that you deny in the access rule is not inspected. The traffic must be allowed by the access rules at both the input and output interfaces to be inspected. Whereas access rules allow you to control connections at layer 3 (network, IP) or 4 (transport, TCP or UDP protocol), you can use inspection rules to control traffic using application-layer protocol session information.
For all protocols, when you inspect the protocol, the device provides the following functions:
.
Automatically opens a return path for the traffic (reversing the source and destination addresses), so that you do not need to create an access rule to allow the return traffic. Each connection is considered a session, and the device maintains session state information and allows return traffic only for valid sessions. Protocols that use TCP contain explicit session information, whereas for UDP applications, the device models the equivalent of a session based on the source and destination addresses and the closeness in time of a sequence of UDP packets.

These temporary access lists are created dynamically and are removed at the end of a session.

.
Tracks sequence numbers in all TCP packets and drops those packets with sequence numbers that are not within expected ranges.

.
Uses timeout and threshold values to manage session state information, helping to determine when to drop sessions that do not become fully established. When a session is dropped, or reset, the device informs both the source and destination of the session to reset the connection, freeing up resources and helping to mitigate potential Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.




QUESTION NO: 33
Which option is the resulting action in a zone-based policy firewall configuration with these conditions?


A. no impact to zoning or policy
B. no policy lookup (pass)
C. drop
D. apply default policy
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/sec_data_zbf/configuration/xe-3s/sec-zone-pol-fw.html
Zone Pairs A zone pair allows you to specify a unidirectional firewall policy between two security zones. To define a zone pair, use the zone-pair security command. The direction of the traffic is specified by source and destination zones. The source and destination zones of a zone pair must be security zones.
You can select the default or self zone as either the source or the destination zone. The self zone is a systemdefined zone which does not have any interfaces as members. A zone pair that includes the self zone, along with the associated policy, applies to traffic directed to the device or traffic generated by the device. It does not apply to traffic through the device.
The most common usage of firewall is to apply them to traffic through a device, so you need at least two zones (that is, you cannot use the self zone).
To permit traffic between zone member interfaces, you must configure a policy permitting (or inspecting) traffic between that zone and another zone. To attach a firewall policy map to the target zone pair, use the servicepolicy type inspect command.
The figure below shows the application of a firewall policy to traffic flowing from zone Z1 to zone Z2, which means that the ingress interface for the traffic is a member of zone Z1 and the egress interface is a member of zone Z2.
Figure 2. Zone Pairs If there are two zones and you require policies for traffic going in both directions (from Z1 to Z2 and Z2 to Z1), you must configure two zone pairs (one for each direction).


If a policy is not configured between zone pairs, traffic is dropped. However, it is not necessary to configure a zone pair and a service policy solely for the return traffic. By default, return traffic is not allowed. If a service policy inspects the traffic in the forward direction and there is no zone pair and service policy for the return traffic, the return traffic is inspected. If a service policy passes the traffic in the forward direction and there is no zone pair and service policy for the return traffic, the return traffic is dropped. In both these cases, you need to configure a zone pair and a service policy to allow the return traffic. In the above figure, it is not mandatory that you configure a zone pair source and destination for allowing return traffic from Z2 to Z1. The service policy on Z1 to Z2 zone pair takes care of it.

Security Level Overview Each interface must have a security level from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest). For example, you should assign your most secure network, such as the inside host network, to level 100. While the outside network connected to the Internet can be level 0. Other networks, such as DMZs can be in between. You can assign interfaces to the same security level. See the "Allowing Communication Between Interfaces on the Same Security Level" section for more information. The level controls the following behavior:
.
Network access��By default, there is an implicit permit from a higher security interface to a lower security interface (outbound). Hosts on the higher security interface can access any host on a lower security interface. You can limit access by applying an access list to the interface. If you enable communication for same security interfaces (see the "Allowing Communication Between Interfaces on the Same Security Level" section), there is an implicit permit for interfaces to access other interfaces on the same security level or lower.

.
Inspection engines��Some inspection engines are dependent on the security level. For same security interfaces, inspection engines apply to traffic in either direction. �CNetBIOS inspection engine��Applied only for outbound connections. �COraServ inspection engine��If a control connection for the OraServ port exists between a pair of hosts, then only an inbound data connection is permitted through the security appliance.

.
Filtering��HTTP(S) and FTP filtering applies only for outbound connections (from a higher level to a lower level). For same security interfaces, you can filter traffic in either direction.

.
NAT control��When you enable NAT control, you must configure NAT for hosts on a higher security interface (inside) when they access hosts on a lower security interface (outside). Without NAT control, or for same security interfaces, you can choose to use NAT between any interface, or you can choose not to use NAT. Keep in mind that configuring NAT for an outside interface might require a special keyword.

.
established command��This command allows return connections from a lower security host to a higher security host if there is already an established connection from the higher level host to the



lower level host. For same security interfaces, you can configure established commands for both directions.

Step 4: Enabling IOS IPS The fourth step is to configure IOS IPS using the following sequence of steps: Step 4.1: Create a rule name (This will be used on an interface to enable IPS) ip ips name < optional ACL> router#configure terminal router(config)# ip ips name iosips You can specify an optional extended or standard access control list (ACL) to filter the traffic that will be scanned by this rule name. All traffic that is permitted by the ACL is subject to inspection by the IPS. Traffic that is denied by the ACL is not inspected by the IPS. router(config)#ip ips name ips list ?

If the HTTP server is not enabled, the router cannot respond to the SDEE clients because it cannot see the

requests. SDEE notification is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled.


QUESTION NO: 36
Which two functions are required for IPsec operation? (Choose two.)
A. using SHA for encryption
B. using PKI for pre-shared key authentication
C. using IKE to negotiate the SA
D. using AH protocols for encryption and authentication

Configure ISAKMP IKE exists only to establish SAs for IPsec. Before it can do this, IKE must negotiate an SA (an ISAKMP SA) relationship with the peer. Since IKE negotiates its own policy, it is possible to configure multiple policy statements with different configuration statements, then let the two hosts come to an agreement. ISAKMP negotiates:

Product Overview In today's business environment, network intruders and attackers can come from outside or inside the network. They can launch distributed denial-of-service attacks, they can attack Internet connections, and they can exploit network and host vulnerabilities. At the same time, Internet worms and viruses can spread across the world in a matter of minutes. There is often no time to wait for human intervention-the network itself must possess the intelligence to recognize and mitigate these attacks, threats, exploits, worms and viruses. Cisco IOS Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is an inline, deep-packet inspection-based solution that enables Cisco IOS Software to effectively mitigate a wide range of network attacks. While it is common practice to defend against attacks by inspecting traffic at data centers and corporate headquarters, distributing the network level defense to stop malicious traffic close to its entry point at branch or telecommuter offices is also critical.

QUESTION NO: 41
Which IPS technique commonly is used to improve accuracy and context awareness, aiming to detect and respond to relevant incidents only and therefore, reduce noise?
A. attack relevancy
B. target asset value
C. signature accuracy
D. risk rating
Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps5729/ps5713/ps4077/prod_white_paper09 00aecd806e7299.html
Risk Rating Calculation Risk rating is a quantitative measure of your network's threat level before IPS mitigation. For each event fired by IPS signatures, Cisco IPS Sensor Software calculates a risk rating number. The factors used to calculate risk rating are:
.
Signature fidelity rating: This IPS-generated variable indicates the degree of attack certainty.

.
Attack severity rating: This IPS-generated variable indicates the amount of damage an attack can cause.

.
Target value rating: This user-defined variable indicates the criticality of the attack target. This is the only factor in risk rating that is routinely maintained by the user. You can assign a target value



rating per IP address in Cisco IPS Device Manager or Cisco Security Manager. The target value rating can raise or lower the overall risk rating for a network device. You can assign the following target values:
�C
75: Low asset value

�C
100: Medium asset value

�C
200: Mission-critical asset value


.
Attack relevancy rating: This IPS-generated value indicates the vulnerability of the attack target.

.
Promiscuous delta: The risk rating of an IPS deployed in promiscuous mode is reduced by the promiscuous delta. This is because promiscuous sensing is less accurate than inline sensing. The promiscuous delta can be configured on a per-signature basis, with a value range of 0 to 30. (The promiscuous delta was introduced in Cisco IPS Sensor Software Version 6.0.)

.
Watch list rating: This IPS-generated value is based on data found in the Cisco Security Agent watch list. The Cisco Security Agent watch list contains IP addresses of devices involved in network scans or possibly contaminated by viruses or worms. If an attacker is found on the watch list, the watch list rating for that attacker is added to the risk rating. The value for this factor is between 0 and 35. (The watch list rating was introduced in Cisco IPS Sensor Software Version 6.0.) Risk rating can help enhance your productivity as it intelligently assesses the level of risk of each event and helps you focus on high-risk events.

Add or Edit IKE Policy Priority An integer value that specifies the priority of this policy relative to the other configured IKE

policies. Assign the lowest numbers to the IKE policies that you prefer that the router use. The router will offer those policies first during negotiations.
Encryption The type of encryption that should be used to communicate this IKE policy. Cisco SDM supports a variety of encryption types, listed in order of security. The more secure an encryption type, the more processing time it requires. Note If your router does not support an encryption type, the type will not appear in the list. Cisco SDM supports the following types of encryption:
.
Data Encryption Standard (DES)��This form of encryption supports 56-bit encryption.

.
Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES)��This is a stronger form of encryption than DES, supporting 168-bit encryption.

.
AES-128��Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption with a 128-bit key. AES provides greater security than DES and is computationally more efficient than triple DES.

.
AES-192��Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption with a 192-bit key.

.
AES-256��Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption with a 256-bit key. Hash The authentication algorithm to be used for the negotiation. There are two options:

.
Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA)

.
Message Digest 5 (MD5) Authentication The authentication method to be used.

.
Pre-SHARE. Authentication will be performed using pre-shared keys.

.
RSA_SIG. Authentication will be performed using digital signatures. D-H Group Diffie-Hellman (D-H) Group. Diffie-Hellman is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two routers to establish a shared secret over an unsecure communications channel. The options are as follows:

.

QUESTION NO: 44
Which three statements about the IPsec ESP modes of operation are true? (Choose three.)
A. Tunnel mode is used between a host and a security gateway.
B. Tunnel mode is used between two security gateways.
C. Tunnel mode only encrypts and authenticates the data.
D. Transport mode authenticates the IP header.
E. Transport mode leaves the original IP header in the clear.
Answer: A,B,E Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/vpn_solutions_center/2.0/ip_security/provisioning/gui de/IPsecPG1.html

The Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) The Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) contains six parts as described below. The first two parts are not encrypted, but they are authenticated. Those parts are as follows:
.
The Security Parameter Index (SPI) is an arbitrary 32-bit number that tells the device receiving the packet what group of security protocols the sender is using for communication. Those protocols include the particular algorithms and keys, and how long those keys are valid.

.
The Sequence Number is a counter that is incremented by 1 each time a packet is sent to the same address and uses the same SPI. The sequence number indicates which packet is which, and how many packets have been sent with the same group of parameters. The sequence number also protects against replay attacks.

Replay attacks involve an attacker who copies a packet and sends it out of sequence to confuse communicating devices. The remaining four parts of the ESP are all encrypted during transmission across the network. Those parts are as follows:

.
The Payload Data is the actual data that is carried by the packet.

.
The Padding, from 0 to 255 bytes of data, allows certain types of encryption algorithms to require the data to be a multiple of a certain number of bytes. The padding also ensures that the text of a message terminates on a four-byte boundary (an architectural requirement within IP).

.
The Pad Length field specifies how much of the payload is padding rather than data.

.
The Next Header field, like a standard IP Next Header field, identifies the type of data carried and the protocol.


The ESP is added after a standard IP header. Because the packet has a standard IP header, the network can route it with standard IP devices. As a result, IPsec is backwards-compatible with IP routers and other equipment even if that equipment isn't designed to use IPsec. ESP can support any number of encryption protocols. It's up to the user to decide which ones to use. Different protocols can be used for every person a user communicates with. However, IPsec specifies a basic DES-Cipher Block Chaining mode (CBC) cipher as the default to ensure minimal interoperability among IPsec networks. ESP's encryption capability is designed for symmetric encryption algorithms. IPsec employs asymmetric algorithms for such specialized purposes as negotiating keys for symmetric encryption.
Tunneling with ESP Tunneling takes an original IP packet header and encapsulates it within the ESP. Then, it adds a new IP header containing the address of a gateway device to the packet. Tunneling allows a user to send illegal IP addresses through a public network (like the Internet) that otherwise would not accept them. Tunneling with ESP offers the advantage of hiding original source and destination addresses from users on the public network. Hiding these addresses reduces the power of traffic analysis attacks. A traffic analysis attack employs network monitoring techniques to determine how much data and what type of data is being communicated between two users.



QUESTION NO: 45
When configuring SSL VPN on the Cisco ASA appliance, which configuration step is required only for Cisco AnyConnect full tunnel SSL VPN access and not required for clientless SSL VPN?
A. user authentication
B. group policy
C. IP address pool
D. SSL VPN interface
E. connection profile
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/sec_conn_sslvpn/configuration/15-2mt/sec-conn-sslvpnssl-vpn.html
Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Full Tunnel Support Remote Client Software from the SSL VPN Gateway Address Pool Manual Entry to the IP Forwarding Table Remote Client Software from the SSL VPN Gateway The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client software package is pushed from the SSL VPN gateway to remote clients when support is needed. The remote user (PC or device) must have either the Java Runtime Environment for Windows (version 1.4 later), or the browser must support or be configured to permit Active X controls. In either scenario, the remote user must have local administrative privileges.
Address Pool The address pool is first defined with the ip local pool command in global configuration mode. The standard configuration assumes that the IP addresses in the pool are reachable from a directly connected network.
Address Pools for Nondirectly Connected Networks If you need to configure an address pool for IP addresses from a network that is not directly connected, perform the following steps: Create a local loopback interface and configure it with an IP address and subnet mask from the address pool.

Configure the address pool with the ip local pool command. The range of addresses must fall under the subnet mask configured in Step 1. Set up the route. If you are using the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), configure the router rip command and then the network command, as usual, to specify a list of networks for the RIP process. If you are using the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol, configure the ip ospf network point-to-point command in the loopback interface. As a third choice (instead of using the RIP or OSPF protocol), you can set up static routes to the network.
Configure the svc address-pool command with the name configured in Step 2. Manual Entry to the IP Forwarding Table If the SSL VPN software client is unable to update the IP forwarding table on the PC of the remote user, the following error message will be displayed in the router console or syslog: Error : SSL VPN client was unable to Modify the IP forwarding table ...... This error can occur if the remote client does not have a default route. You can work around this error by performing the following steps: Open a command prompt (DOS shell) on the remote client. Enter the route print command. If a default route is not displayed in the output, enter the route command followed by the add and mask keywords. Include the default gateway IP address at the end of the route statement. See the following example: C:\>route ADD 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1


QUESTION NO: 46
For what purpose is the Cisco ASA appliance web launch SSL VPN feature used?
A. to enable split tunneling when using clientless SSL VPN access
B. to enable users to login to a web portal to download and launch the AnyConnect client
C. to enable smart tunnel access for applications that are not web-based
D. to optimize the SSL VPN connections using DTLS
E. to enable single-sign-on so the SSL VPN users need only log in once
Answer: B Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/vpn_client/anyconnect/anyconnect24/administration/gui de/ac01intro.html
AnyConnect Standalone and WebLaunch Options The user can use the AnyConnect Client in the following modes:

.
Standalone mode��Lets the user establish a Cisco AnyConnect VPN client connection without the need to use a web browser. If you have permanently installed the AnyConnect client on the user's PC, the user can run in standalone mode. In standalone mode, a user opens the AnyConnect client just like any other application and enters the username and password credentials into the fields of the AnyConnect GUI. Depending on how you configure the system, the user might also be required to select a group. When the connection is established, the security appliance checks the version of the client on the user's PC and, if necessary, downloads the latest version.

.
WebLaunch mode��Lets the user enter the URL of the security appliance in the Address or Location field of a browser using the https protocol. The user then enters the username and password information on a Logon screen and selects the group and clicks submit. If you have specified a banner, that information appears, and the user acknowledges the banner by clicking Continue.


The portal window appears. To start the AnyConnect client, the user clicks Start AnyConnect on the main pane. A series of documentary windows appears. When the Connection Established dialog box appears, the connection is working, and the user can proceed with online activities. Whether connecting via standalone mode or WebLaunch mode, the AnyConnect client package must be installed on the security appliance in order for the client to connect. This ensures that the security appliance is the single point of enforcement as to which versions of the client can establish a session, even if you deploy the client with an enterprise software deployment system. When you load a client package on the security appliance, you enforce a policy that only versions as new as the one loaded can connect. AnyConnect users must upgrade their clients by loading the latest version of the client with the latest security features on the security appliance.

Answer: E Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk1132/technologies_white_paper09186a00800e79cb.shtml
Public-Key Cryptography and Asymmetric Encryption
In asymmetric encryption, two different keys are used to render data illegible to anyone who may be eavesdropping on a conversation. The certificates contain the two components of asymmetric encryption: public key and private key. Data that is encrypted with the public key can be decrypted with the private key, and vice versa. However, data encrypted with the public key cannot be decrypted with the public key. The parties who need to encrypt their communications will exchange their public keys (contained in the certificate), but will not disclose their private keys. The sending party will use the public key of the receiving party to encrypt message data and forward the ciphertext (encrypted data) to the other party. The receiving party will then decrypt the ciphertext with their private key. Data encrypted with the public key cannot be decrypted with the public key. This prevents someone from compromising the ciphertext after acquiring both public keys by eavesdropping on the certificate exchange.

SSL VPN Access Modes SSL VPN provides three modes of remote access on IOS routers: Clientless, Thin Client and Full Client. On ASA devices, there are two modes: Clientless (which includes Clientless and Thin Client port forwarding) and AnyConnect Client (a full client).
Clientless Access Mode In Clientless mode, the remote user accesses the internal or corporate network using a Web browser on the client machine. No applet downloading is required. Clientless mode is useful for accessing most content that you would expect in a Web browser, such as Internet access, databases, and online tools that employ a Web interface. It supports Web browsing (using HTTP and HTTPS), file sharing using Common Internet File System (CIFS), and Outlook Web Access (OWA) email. For Clientless mode to work successfully, the remote user��s PC must be running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Linux operating systems. Browser-based SSL VPN users connecting from Windows operating systems can browse shared file systems and perform the following operations: view folders, view folder and file properties, create, move, copy, copy from the local host to the remote host, copy from the remote host to the local host, and delete. Internet Explorer indicates when a Web folder is accessible. Accessing this folder launches another window, providing a view of the shared folder, on which users can perform web folder functions, assuming the properties of the folders and documents permit them.
Thin Client Access Mode Thin Client mode, also called TCP port forwarding, assumes that the client application uses TCP to connect to a well-known server and port. In this mode, the remote user downloads a Java applet by clicking the link provided on the portal page. The Java applet acts as a TCP proxy on the client machine for the services configured on the SSL VPN gateway. The Java applet starts a new SSL connection for every client connection. The Java applet initiates an HTTP request from the remote user client to the SSL VPN gateway. The name and port number of the internal email server is included in the HTTP request. The SSL VPN gateway creates a TCP connection to that internal email server and port. Thin Client mode extends the capability of the cryptographic functions of the Web browser to enable remote access to TCP-based applications such as Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Internet Message Access protocol (IMAP), Telnet, and Secure Shell (SSH).
Note The TCP port-forwarding proxy works only with Sun��s Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version
1.4 or later. A Java applet is loaded through the browser that verifies the JRE version. The Java applet refuses to run if a compatible JRE version is not detected. When using Thin Client mode, you should be aware of the following:

.
The remote user must allow the Java applet to download and install.

.
For TCP port-forwarding applications to work seamlessly, administrative privileges must be enabled for remote users.

.
You cannot use Thin Client mode for applications such as FTP, where the ports are negotiated dynamically. That is, you can use TCP port forwarding only with static ports. Full Tunnel Client Access Mode Full Tunnel Client mode enables access to the corporate network completely over an SSL VPN tunnel, which is used to move data at the network (IP) layer. This mode supports most IP-based applications, such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes E-mail, and Telnet. Being part of the SSL VPN is completely transparent to the applications run on the client. A Java applet is downloaded to handle the tunneling between the client host and the SSL VPN gateway. The user can use any application as if the client host was in the internal network. The tunnel connection is determined by the group policy configuration. The SSL VPN client (SVC) or AnyConnect client is downloaded and installed to the remote client, and the tunnel connection is established when the remote user logs in to the SSL VPN gateway. By default, the client software is removed from the remote client after the connection is closed, but you can keep it installed, if required. https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/12870-102-1-48375/Cisco%20VPN%20(5).pdf


LAN-to-LAN IPsec Implementations LAN-to-LAN IPsec is a term often used to describe an IPsec tunnel created between two LANs. These are also called site to site IPsec VPNs. LAN-to-LAN VPNs are created when two private networks are merged across a public network such that the users on either of these networks can access resources on the other network as if they were on their own private network.
Remote-Access Client IPsec Implementations Remote-access client IPsec VPNs are created when a remote user connects to an IPsec router or access server using an IPsec client installed on the remote user��s machine. Generally, these remote-access machines connect to the public network or the Internet using dialup or some other similar means of connectivity. As soon as basic connectivity to the Internet is established, the IPsec client can set up an encrypted tunnel across the pubic network or the Internet to an IPsec termination device located at the edge of the private network to which the client wants to connect and be a part of. These IPsec termination devices are also known as IPsec remoteaccess concentrators.

Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/security_management/cisco_security_manager/security _manager/4.1/user/guide/vpipsec.html
Modulus Group The Diffie-Hellman group to use for deriving a shared secret between the two IPsec peers without transmitting it to each other. A larger modulus provides higher security but requires more processing time. The two peers must have a matching modulus group. Options are:
.
1��Diffie-Hellman Group 1 (768-bit modulus).

.
2��Diffie-Hellman Group 2 (1024-bit modulus).

.
5��Diffie-Hellman Group 5 (1536-bit modulus, considered good protection for 128-bit keys, but group 14 is better). If you are using AES encryption, use this group (or higher). The ASA supports this group as the highest group.

.
7��Diffie-Hellman Group 7 (163-bit elliptical curve field size).

.
14��Diffie-Hellman Group 14 (2048-bit modulus, considered good protection for 128-bit keys).

.
15��Diffie-Hellman Group 15 (3072-bit modulus, considered good protection for 192-bit keys).

.
16��Diffie-Hellman Group 16 (4096-bit modulus, considered good protection for 256-bit keys).

F. crypto ipsec transform-set 6 esp-des esp-md5-hmac
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/security_management/cisco_security_manager/ security_manager/4.1/user/guide/vpipsec.html Table 22-2 IKEv2 Proposal Dialog Box Name The name of the policy object. A maximum of 128 characters is allowed. Description A description of the policy object. A maximum of 1024 characters is allowed. Priority The priority value of the IKE proposal. The priority value determines the order of the IKE proposals compared by the two negotiating peers when attempting to find a common security association (SA). If the remote IPsec peer does not support the parameters selected in your first priority policy, the device tries to use the parameters defined in the policy with the next lowest priority number. Valid values range from 1 to 65535. The lower the number, the higher the priority. If you leave this field blank, Security Manager assigns the lowest unassigned value starting with 1, then 5, then continuing in increments of 5. Encryption Algorithm The encryption algorithm used to establish the Phase 1 SA for protecting Phase 2 negotiations. Click Select and select all of the algorithms that you want to allow in the VPN:
.
AES��Encrypts according to the Advanced Encryption Standard using 128-bit keys.

.
AES-192��Encrypts according to the Advanced Encryption Standard using 192-bit keys.

.
AES-256��Encrypts according to the Advanced Encryption Standard using 256-bit keys.

.
DES��Encrypts according to the Data Encryption Standard using 56-bit keys.

.
3DES��Encrypts three times using 56-bit keys. 3DES is more secure than DES, but requires more processing for encryption and decryption. It is less secure than AES. A 3DES license is required to use this option.

.
Null��No encryption algorithm. Integrity (Hash) Algorithm The integrity portion of the hash algorithm used in the IKE proposal. The hash algorithm creates a message digest, which is used to ensure message integrity. Click Select and select all of the algorithms that you want to allow in the VPN:

.
SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm)��Produces a 160-bit digest. SHA is more resistant to brute-force attacks than MD5.

.
MD5 (Message Digest 5)��Produces a 128-bit digest. MD5 uses less processing time than SHA. Prf Algorithm The pseudo-random function (PRF) portion of the hash algorithm used in the IKE proposal. In IKEv1, the Integrity and PRF algorithms are not separated, but in IKEv2, you can specify different algorithms for these elements. Click Select and select all of the algorithms that you want to allow in the VPN:

.
SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm)��Produces a 160-bit digest. SHA is more resistant to brute-force attacks than MD5.

.
MD5 (Message Digest 5)��Produces a 128-bit digest. MD5 uses less processing time than SHA. Modulus Group The Diffie-Hellman group to use for deriving a shared secret between the two IPsec peers without transmitting it to each other. A larger modulus provides higher security but requires more processing time. The two peers must have a matching modulus group. Click Select and select all of the groups that you want to allow in the VPN:

.
1��Diffie-Hellman Group 1 (768-bit modulus).

.
2��Diffie-Hellman Group 2 (1024-bit modulus). This is the minimum recommended setting.

.
5��Diffie-Hellman Group 5 (1536-bit modulus, considered good protection for 128-bit keys). Select this option if you are using AES encryption. Lifetime The lifetime of the security association (SA), in seconds. When the lifetime is exceeded, the SA expires and must be renegotiated between the two peers. As a general rule, the shorter the lifetime (up to a point), the more secure your IKE negotiations will be. However, with longer lifetimes, future IPsec security associations can be set up more quickly than with shorter lifetimes. You can specify a value from 120 to 2147483647 seconds. The default is 86400. Category The category assigned to the object. Categories help you organize and identify rules and objects. See Using Category Objects, page 6-9.

QUESTION NO: 52
Which statement describes a result of securing the Cisco IOS image using the Cisco IOS image resilience feature?
A. The show version command does not show the Cisco IOS image file location.
B. The Cisco IOS image file is not visible in the output from the show flash command.
C. When the router boots up, the Cisco IOS image is loaded from a secured FTP location.
D. The running Cisco IOS image is encrypted and then automatically backed up to the NVRAM.
E. The running Cisco IOS image is encrypted and then automatically backed up to a TFTP server.
Answer: B Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/security/command/reference/sec_book.html
secure boot-config To take a snapshot of the router running configuration and securely archive it in persistent storage, use the secure boot-config command in global configuration mode. To remove the secure configuration archive and disable configuration resilience, use the no form of this command.
secure boot-config [restore filename] no secure boot-config Usage Guidelines Without any parameters, this command takes a snapshot of the router running configuration and securely archives it in persistent storage. Like the image, the configuration archive is hidden and cannot be viewed or removed directly from the command-line interface (CLI) prompt . It is recommended that you run this command after the router has been fully configured to reach a steady state of operation and the running configuration is considered complete for a restoration, if

required. A syslog message is printed on the console notifying the user of configuration resilience activation. The secure archive uses the time of creation as its filename. For example, .runcfg-20020616-081702.ar was created July 16 2002 at 8:17:02. The restore option reproduces a copy of the secure configuration archive as the supplied filename (disk0:running-config, slot1:runcfg, and so on). The restore operation will work only if configuration resilience is enabled. The number of restored copies that can be created is unlimited.
The no form of this command removes the secure configuration archive and disables configuration resilience. An enable, disable, enable sequence has the effect of upgrading the configuration archive if any changes were made to the running configuration since the last time the feature was disabled. The configuration upgrade scenario is similar to an image upgrade. The feature detects a different version of Cisco IOS and notifies the user of a version mismatch. The same command can be run to upgrade the configuration archive to a newer version after new configuration commands corresponding to features in the new image have been issued. The correct sequence of steps to upgrade the configuration archive after an image upgrade is as follows:
.
Configure new commands

.
Issue the secure boot-config command secure boot-image To enable Cisco IOS image resilience, use the secure boot-image command in global configuration mode. To disable Cisco IOS image resilience and release the secured image so that it can be safely removed, use the no form of this command.

secure boot-image no secure boot-image Usage Guidelines This command enables or disables the securing of the running Cisco IOS image. The following two possible scenarios exist with this command.

.
When turned on for the first time, the running image (as displayed in the show version command output) is secured, and a syslog entry is generated. This command will function properly only when the system is configured to run an image from a disk with an Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) interface. Images booted from a TFTP server cannot be secured. Because this command has the effect of "hiding" the running image, the image file will not be included in any directory listing of the disk. The no form of this command releases the image so that it can be safely removed.

.
If the router is configured to boot up with Cisco IOS resilience and an image with a different version of Cisco IOS is detected, a message similar to the following is displayed at bootup: ios resilience :Archived image and configuration version 12.2 differs from running version 12.3. Run secure boot-config and image commands to upgrade archives to running version. To upgrade the image archive to the new running image, reenter this command from the console. A message will be displayed about the upgraded image. The old image is released and will be



visible in the dir command output.

B. aaa accounting system start-stop tacacs+
C. aaa accounting exec start-stop tacacs+
D. aaa accounting connection start-stop tacacs+
E. aaa accounting commands 15 start-stop tacacs+
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/security/command/reference/sec_book.html
aaa accounting To enable authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) accounting of requested services for billing or security purposes when you use RADIUS or TACACS+, use the aaa accounting command in global configuration mode or template configuration mode. To disable AAA accounting, use the no form of this command. aaa accounting {auth-proxy | system | network | exec | connection | commands level | dot1x} {default | list-name | guarantee-first} [vrf vrf-name] {start-stop | stop-only | none} [broadcast] {radius | group group-name} no aaa accounting {auth-proxy | system | network | exec | connection | commands level | dot1x} {default | listname | guarantee-first} [vrf vrf-name] {start-stop | stop-only | none} [broadcast] {radius | group group-name} exec Runs accounting for the EXEC shell session. start-stop Sends a "start" accounting notice at the beginning of a process and a "stop" accounting notice at the end of a process. The "start" accounting record is sent in the background. The requested user process begins regardless of whether the "start" accounting notice was received by the accounting server.

Which statement about asymmetric encryption algorithms is true?
A. They use the same key for encryption and decryption of data.
B. They use the same key for decryption but different keys for encryption of data.

C. They use different keys for encryption and decryption of data.
D. They use different keys for decryption but the same key for encryption of data.
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac123/ac147/archived_issues/ipj_12-4/124_ssh.html
Transport Layer Protocol Server authentication occurs at the transport layer, based on the server possessing a public-private key pair. A server may have multiple host keys using multiple different asymmetric encryption algorithms. Multiple hosts may share the same host key. In any case, the server host key is used during key exchange to authenticate the identity of the host. For this authentication to be possible, the client must have presumptive knowledge of the server public host key. RFC 4251 dictates two alternative trust models that can be used:
The client has a local database that associates each host name (as typed by the user) with the corresponding public host key. This method requires no centrally administered infrastructure and no third-party coordination. The downside is that the database of name-to-key associations may become burdensome to maintain. The host name-to-key association is certified by a trusted Certification Authority (CA). The client knows only the CA root key and can verify the validity of all host keys certified by accepted CAs. This alternative eases the maintenance problem, because ideally only a single CA key needs to be securely stored on the client. On the other hand, each host key must be appropriately certified by a central authority before authorization is possible.

ACL Summarization Note: Subnet masks can also be represented as a fixed length notation. For example, 192.168.10.0/24 represents 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0. This list describes how to summarize a range of networks into a single network for ACL optimization. Consider these networks. 192.168.32.0/24 192.168.33.0/24 192.168.34.0/24 192.168.35.0/24 192.168.36.0/24 192.168.37.0/24 192.168.38.0/24 192.168.39.0/24

The first two octets and the last octet are the same for each network. This table is an explanation of how to summarize these into a single network.
The third octet for the previous networks can be written as seen in this table, according to the octet bit position and address value for each bit.
Decimal 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 32 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 33 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 34 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 35 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 36 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 37 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 38 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 39 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 M M M M M D D D
Since the first five bits match, the previous eight networks can be summarized into one network (192.168.32.0/21 or 192.168.32.0 255.255.248.0). All eight possible combinations of the three low-order bits are relevant for the network ranges in question. This command defines an ACL that permits this network. If you subtract 255.255.248.0 (normal mask) from 255.255.255.255, it yields
0.0.7.255. access-list acl_permit permit ip 192.168.32.0 0.0.7.255

This doesn't mean you should identify every possible entry point to the network, nor every possible means of attack. The intent of a risk analysis is to identify portions of your network, assign a threat rating to each portion, and apply an appropriate level of security. This helps maintain a workable balance between security and required network access.
Assign each network resource one of the following three risk levels: Low Risk Systems or data that if compromised (data viewed by unauthorized personnel, data corrupted, or data lost) would not disrupt the business or cause legal or financial ramifications. The targeted system or data can be easily restored and does not permit further access of other systems. Medium Risk Systems or data that if compromised (data viewed by unauthorized personnel, data corrupted, or data lost) would cause a moderate disruption in the business, minor legal or financial ramifications, or provide further access to other systems. The targeted system or data requires a moderate effort to restore or the restoration process is disruptive to the system. High Risk Systems or data that if compromised (data viewed by unauthorized personnel, data corrupted, or data lost) would cause an extreme disruption in the business, cause major legal or financial ramifications, or threaten the health and safety of a person. The targeted system or data requires significant effort to restore or the restoration process is disruptive to the business or other systems. Assign a risk level to each of the following: core network devices, distribution network devices, access network devices, network monitoring devices (SNMP monitors and RMON probes), network security devices (RADIUS and TACACS), e-mail systems, network file servers, network print servers, network application servers (DNS and DHCP), data application servers (Oracle or other standalone applications), desktop computers, and other devices (standalone print servers and network fax machines). Network equipment such as switches, routers, DNS servers, and DHCP servers can allow further access into the network, and are therefore either medium or high risk devices. It is also possible that corruption of this equipment could cause the network itself to collapse. Such a failure can be extremely disruptive to the business.

How are Cisco IOS access control lists processed?
A. Standard ACLs are processed first.
B. The best match ACL is matched first.
C. Permit ACL entries are matched first before the deny ACL entries.
D. ACLs are matched from top down.
E. The global ACL is matched first before the interface ACL.
Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps1018/products_tech_note09186a00800a5b9a .shtml
Process ACLs Traffic that comes into the router is compared to ACL entries based on the order that the entries occur in the router. New statements are added to the end of the list. The router continues to look until it has a match. If no matches are found when the router reaches the end of the list, the traffic is denied. For this reason, you should have the frequently hit entries at the top of the list. There is an implied deny for traffic that is not permitted. A single-entry ACL with only one deny entry has the effect of denying all traffic. You must have at least one permit statement in an ACL or all traffic is blocked. These two ACLs (101 and 102) have the same effect.

In which type of Layer 2 attack does an attacker broadcast BDPUs with a lower switch priority?
A. MAC spoofing attack
B. CAM overflow attack
C. VLAN hopping attack
D. STP attack
Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps708/white_paper_c11_605972.htm
Introduction The purpose of this paper is to identify how easily the Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) can be compromised to allow eavesdropping in a switched corporate environment and how to mitigate this vulnerability using L2 security features that are available on the Cisco. Catalyst. 6500. The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Man in The Middle (MiTM) attack compromises the STP "Root Bridge" election process and allows a hacker to use their PC to masquerade as a "Root Bridge," thus controlling the flow of L2 traffic. In order to understand the attack, the reader must have a basic understanding of the "Root Bridge" Election process and the initial STP operations that build the loop free topology. Therefore, the first section of this document, Overview of the STP Root Bridge Election Process, will be devoted to providing a simplified explanation of 802.1d STP operations as it pertains to understanding the STP MiTM attack. If you require a more comprehensive overview of STP, please review the LAN Switching Chapter of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Configuration Guide on Cisco.com.



QUESTION NO: 67
Which security measure must you take for native VLANs on a trunk port?
A. Native VLANs for trunk ports should never be used anywhere else on the switch.
B. The native VLAN for trunk ports should be VLAN 1.
C. Native VLANs for trunk ports should match access VLANs to ensure that cross-VLAN traffic from multiple switches can be delivered to physically disparate switches.
D. Native VLANs for trunk ports should be tagged with 802.1Q.
Answer: A Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_white_paper09186a00801315 9f.shtml
Double Encapsulation Attack When double-encapsulated 802.1Q packets are injected into the network from a device whose VLAN happens to be the native VLAN of a trunk, the VLAN identification of those packets cannot be preserved from end to end since the 802.1Q trunk would always modify the packets by stripping their outer tag. After the external tag is removed, the internal tag permanently becomes the packet's only VLAN identifier. Therefore, by double encapsulating packets with two different tags, traffic can be made to hop across VLANs.
This scenario is to be considered a misconfiguration, since the 802.1Q standard does not necessarily force the users to use the native VLAN in these cases. As a matter of fact, the proper configuration that should always be used is to clear the native VLAN from all 802.1Q trunks (alternatively, setting them to 802.1q-all-tagged mode achieves the exact same result). In cases where the native VLAN cannot be cleared, then always pick an unused VLAN as native VLAN of all the trunks; don't use this VLAN for any other purpose. Protocols like STP, DTP, and UDLD (check out [3]) should be the only rightful users of the native

VLAN and their traffic should be completely isolated from any data packets.


QUESTION NO: 68
Refer to the exhibit.

Which switch is designated as the root bridge in this topology?
A. It depends on which switch came on line first.
B. Neither switch would assume the role of root bridge because they have the same default priority.
C. switch X
D. switch Y
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk621/technologies_configuration_example09186a008009 467c.shtml
Rules of Operation This section lists rules for how STP works. When the switches first come up, they start the root switch selection process. Each switch transmits a BPDU to the directly connected switch on a per-VLAN basis. As the BPDU goes out through the network, each switch compares the BPDU that the switch sends to the BPDU that the switch receives from the neighbors. The switches then agree on which switch is the root switch. The switch with the lowest bridge ID in the network wins this election process.

QUESTION NO: 70
Which type of NAT is used where you translate multiple internal IP addresses to a single global, routable IP address?
A. policy NAT
B. dynamic PAT
C. static NAT
D. dynamic NAT
E. policy PAT

Answer: B Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa82/configuration/guide/nat_dynamic.html
Task Flow for Configuring Dynamic NAT and PAT Use the following guidelines to configure either Dynamic NAT or PAT:
.
First configure a nat command, identifying the real addresses on a given interface that you want to translate.

.
Then configure a separate global command to specify the mapped addresses when exiting another interface. (In the case of PAT, this is one address.) Each nat command matches a global command by comparing the NAT ID, a number that you assign to each command. Note The configuration for dynamic NAT and PAT are almost identical; for NAT you specify a range of mapped addresses, and for PAT you specify a single address. Figure 29-9 shows a typical dynamic NAT scenario. Only translated hosts can create a NAT session, and responding traffic is allowed back. The mapped address is dynamically assigned from a pool defined by the global command.



Figure 29-10 shows a typical dynamic PAT scenario. Only translated hosts can create a NAT session, and responding traffic is allowed back. The mapped address defined by the global command is the same for each translation, but the port is dynamically assigned.




QUESTION NO: 71
Which Cisco IPS product offers an inline, deep-packet inspection feature that is available in integrated services routers?
A. Cisco iSDM
B. Cisco AIM
C. Cisco IOS IPS
D. Cisco AIP-SSM
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6586/ps6634/product_data_sheet0 900aecd803137cf.html
Product Overview In today's business environment, network intruders and attackers can come from outside or inside the network.
They can launch distributed denial-of-service attacks, they can attack Internet connections, and they can exploit network and host vulnerabilities. At the same time, Internet worms and viruses can spread across the world in a matter of minutes. There is often no time to wait for human intervention-the network itself must possess the intelligence to recognize and mitigate these attacks, threats, exploits, worms and viruses.
Cisco IOS Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is an inline, deep-packet inspection-based solution that enables Cisco IOS Software to effectively mitigate a wide range of network attacks. While it is common practice to defend against attacks by inspecting traffic at data centers and corporate headquarters, distributing the network level defense to stop malicious traffic close to its entry point at branch or telecommuter offices is also critical. Cisco IOS IPS: Major Use Cases and Key Benefits IOS IPS helps to protect your network in 5 ways: Key Benefits


.
Provides network-wide, distributed protection from many attacks, exploits, worms and viruses exploiting vulnerabilities in operating systems and applications

.
Eliminates the need for a standalone IPS device at branch and telecommuter offices as well as small and medium-sized business networks

QUESTION NO: 74
Which three statements about applying access control lists to a Cisco router are true? (Choose three.)
A. Place more specific ACL entries at the top of the ACL.
B. Place generic ACL entries at the top of the ACL to filter general traffic and thereby reduce ��noise�� on the network.
C. ACLs always search for the most specific entry before taking any filtering action.
D. Router-generated packets cannot be filtered by ACLs on the router.
E. If an access list is applied but it is not configured, all traffic passes.
Answer: A,D,E Explanation: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/sec_data_acl/configuration/15-2mt/sec-acl-ov-gdl.html
The Order in Which You Enter Criteria Statements Note that each additional criteria statement that you enter is appended to the end of the access list statements.
Also note that you cannot delete individual statements after they have been created. You can only delete an entire access list. The order of access list statements is important! When the router is deciding whether to forward or block a packet, the Cisco IOS software tests the packet against each criteria statement in the order in which the statements were created. After a match is found, no more criteria statements are checked.

If you create a criteria statement that explicitly permits all traffic, no statements added later will ever be checked. If you need additional statements, you must delete the access list and retype it with the new entries.
Apply an Access Control List to an Interface With some protocols, you can apply up to two access lists to an interface: one inbound access list and one outbound access list. With other protocols, you apply only one access list that checks both inbound and outbound packets. If the access list is inbound, when a device receives a packet, Cisco software checks the access list's criteria statements for a match. If the packet is permitted, the software continues to process the packet. If the packet is denied, the software discards the packet. If the access list is outbound, after receiving and routing a packet to the outbound interface, Cisco software checks the access list's criteria statements for a match. If the packet is permitted, the software transmits the packet. If the packet is denied, the software discards the packet.
Note Access lists that are applied to interfaces on a device do not filter traffic that originates from that device. The access list check is bypassed for locally generated packets, which are always outbound. By default, an access list that is applied to an outbound interface for matching locally generated traffic will bypass the outbound access list check; but transit traffic is subjected to the outbound access list check.

QUESTION NO: 76
Which three statements about the Cisco ASA appliance are true? (Choose three.)
A. The DMZ interface(s) on the Cisco ASA appliance most typically use a security level between 1 and 99.
B. The Cisco ASA appliance supports Active/Active or Active/Standby failover.
C. The Cisco ASA appliance has no default MPF configurations.
D. The Cisco ASA appliance uses security contexts to virtually partition the ASA into multiple virtual firewalls.
E. The Cisco ASA appliance supports user-based access control using 802.1x.
F. An SSM is required on the Cisco ASA appliance to support Botnet Traffic Filtering.
Answer: A,B,D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa80/configuration/guide/int5505.html
Security Level Overview Each VLAN interface must have a security level in the range 0 to 100 (from lowest to highest). For example, you should assign your most secure network, such as the inside business network, to level 100. The outside network connected to the Internet can be level 0. Other networks, such as a home network can be in between. You can assign interfaces to the same security level. See the "Allowing Communication Between VLAN Interfaces on the Same Security Level" section for more information.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa80/configuration/guide/failover.html Active/Standby Failover Overview Active/Standby failover lets you use a standby security appliance to take over the functionality of a failed unit. When the active unit fails, it changes to the standby state while the standby unit changes to the active state. The unit that becomes active assumes the IP addresses (or, for transparent firewall, the management IP address) and MAC addresses of the failed unit and begins passing traffic. The unit that is now in standby state takes over the standby IP addresses and MAC addresses. Because network devices see no change in the MAC to IP address pairing, no ARP entries change or time out anywhere on the network.
Active/Active Failover Overview Active/Active failover is only available to security appliances in multiple context mode. In an Active/Active failover configuration, both security appliances can pass network traffic. In Active/Active failover, you divide the security contexts on the security appliance into failover groups. A failover group is simply a logical group of one or more security contexts. You can create a maximum of two failover groups on the security appliance. The admin context is always a member of failover group 1. Any unassigned security contexts are also members of failover group 1 by default.
The failover group forms the base unit for failover in Active/Active failover. Interface failure monitoring, failover, and active/standby status are all attributes of a failover group rather than the unit. When an active failover group fails, it changes to the standby state while the standby failover group becomes active. The interfaces in the failover group that becomes active assume the MAC and IP addresses of the interfaces in the failover group that failed. The interfaces in the failover group that is now in the standby state take over the standby MAC and IP addresses.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa80/configuration/guide/contexts.html
Security Context Overview You can partition a single security appliance into multiple virtual devices, known as security contexts. Each context is an independent device, with its own security policy, interfaces, and administrators. Multiple contexts are similar to having multiple standalone devices. Many features are supported in multiple context mode, including routing tables, firewall features, IPS, and management. Some features are not supported, including VPN and dynamic routing protocols.

Extended ACLs (registered customers only) control traffic by comparing the source and destination addresses of the IP packets to the addresses configured in the ACL. You can also make extended ACLs more granular and configured to filter traffic by criteria such as:
Protocol Port numbers Differentiated services code point (DSCP) value Precedence value State of the synchronize sequence number (SYN) bit The command syntax formats of extended ACLs are: IP access-list access-list-number [dynamic dynamic-name [timeout minutes]] {deny | permit} protocol source source-wildcard destination destination-wildcard [precedence precedence] [tos tos] [log | log-input] [time-range time-range-name][fragments] Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) access-list access-list-number [dynamic dynamic-name [timeout minutes]] {deny | permit} icmp source source-wildcard destination destination-wildcard [icmp-type [icmp-code] | [icmp-message]] [precedenceprecedence] [tos tos] [log | log-input] [time-range time-range-name][fragments] Transport Control Protocol (TCP) access-list access-list-number [dynamic dynamic-name [timeout minutes]] {deny | permit} tcp source source-wildcard [operator [port]] destination destination-wildcard [operator [port]] [established] [precedence precedence] [tos tos] [log | log-input] [time-range time-range-name][fragments] User Datagram Protocol (UDP) access-list access-list-number [dynamic dynamic-name [timeout minutes]] {deny | permit} udp source source-wildcard [operator [port]] destination destination-wildcard [operator [port]] [precedence precedence] [tos tos] [log | log-input] [time-range time-range-name][fragments]


QUESTION NO: 78
You use Cisco Configuration Professional to enable Cisco IOS IPS. Which state must a signature

be in before any actions can be taken when an attack matches that signature?
A. enabled
B. unretired
C. successfully complied
D. successfully complied and unretired
E. successfully complied and enabled
F. unretired and enabled
G. enabled, unretired, and successfully complied
Answer: G Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6586/ps6634/prod_white_paper090 0aecd8066d265.html
Step 21. Verify the signatures are loaded properly by using this command at the router prompt: router#show ip ips signatures count Cisco SDF release version S353.0 Trend SDF release version V0.0 | snip | Total Signatures: 2363 Total Enabled Signatures: 1025 Total Retired Signatures: 1796 Total Compiled Signatures: 567 Total Obsoleted Signatures: 15 Step 23. To retire/unretire and enable/disable signatures, select the Edit IPS tab, then select Signatures. Highlight the signature(s), and then click the Enable, Disable, Retire, or Unretire button. Notice the status changed in the Enabled or the Retired column. A yellow icon appears for the signature(s) in the column next to Enabled. The yellow icon means changes have been made to the signature, but have not been applied. Click the Apply Changes button to make the changes take effect.
Retire/unretire is to select/de-select which signatures are being used by IOS IPS to scan traffic. Retiring a signature means IOS IPS will NOT compile that signature into memory for scanning. Unretiring a signature instructs IOS IPS to compile the signature into memory and use the signature to scan traffic.
Enable/disable does NOT select/de-select signatures to be used by IOS IPS. Enabling a signature means that when triggered by a matching packet (or packet flow), the signature takes the appropriate action associated with it. However, only unretired AND successfully compiled signatures will take the action when they are enabled. In other words, if a signature is retired, even though it is enabled, it will not be compiled (because it is retired) and it will not take the action associated with it.

Disabling a signature means that when triggered by a matching packet (or packet flow), the signature DOES NOT take the appropriate action associated with it. In other words, when a signature is disabled, even though it is unretired and successfully compiled, it will not take the action associated with it.

Answer: B Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk1132/technologies_white_paper09186a00800e79cb.shtml
Public-Key Cryptography and Asymmetric Encryption In asymmetric encryption, two different keys are used to render data illegible to anyone who may be eavesdropping on a conversation. The certificates contain the two components of asymmetric encryption: public key and private key. Data that is encrypted with the public key can be decrypted with the private key, and vice versa. However, data encrypted with the public key cannot be decrypted with the public key. The parties who need to encrypt their communications will exchange their public keys (contained in the certificate), but will not disclose their private keys. The sending party will use the public key of the receiving party to encrypt message data and forward the cipher text (encrypted data) to the other party. The receiving party will then decrypt the cipher text with their private key. Data encrypted with the public key cannot be decrypted with the public key. This prevents someone from compromising the cipher text after acquiring both public keys by eavesdropping on the certificate exchange.

Show crypto map Field Descriptions
Peer Possible peers that are configured for this crypto map entry. Extended IP access list Access list that is used to define the data packets that need to be encrypted. Packets that are denied by this access list are forwarded but not encrypted. The "reverse" of this access list is used to check the inbound return packets, which are also encrypted. Packets that are denied by the "reverse" access list are dropped because they should have been encrypted but were not. Extended IP access check Access lists that are used to more finely control which data packets are allowed into or out of the IPsec tunnel. Packets that are allowed by the "Extended IP access list" ACL but denied by the "Extended IP access list check" ACL are dropped. Current peer Current peer that is being used for this crypto map entry. Security association lifetime Number of bytes that are allowed to be encrypted or decrypted or the age of the security association before new encryption keys must be negotiated. PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy) If the field is marked as `Yes', the Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) SKEYID-d key is renegotiated each time security association (SA) encryption keys are renegotiated (requires another Diffie-Hillman calculation). If the field is marked as `No', the same ISAKMP SKEYID-d key is used when renegotiating SA encryption keys. ISAKMP keys are renegotiated on a separate schedule, with a default time of 24 hours.
Transform sets List of transform sets (encryption, authentication, and compression algorithms) that can be used with this crypto map. Interfaces using crypto map test Interfaces to which this crypto map is applied. Packets that are leaving from this interface are subject to the rules of this crypto map for encryption. Encrypted packets may enter the router on any interface, and they are decrypted. Nonencrypted packets that are entering the router through this interface are subject to the "reverse" crypto access list check.

Under the Cisco SAFE design blueprints, intrusion protection systems, firewalls, network admission control, endpoint protection software, and monitoring and analysis systems work together to identify and dynamically respond to attacks. As part of threat control and containment, the designs have the ability to identify the source of a threat, visualize its attack path, and to suggest, and even dynamically enforce, response actions. Possible response actions include the isolation of compromised systems, rate limiting, packet filtering, and more.
Control is improved through the actions of harden, isolate, and enforce. Following are some of the objectives of the Cisco SAFE design blueprints:
.
Adaptive response to real-time threats��Source threats are dynamically identified and may be blocked in realtime.

.
Consistent policy enforcement coverage��Mitigation and containment actions may be enforced at different places in the network for defense in-depth.

.
Minimize effects of attack��Response actions may be dynamically triggered as soon as an attack is detected, minimizing damage.

.
Common policy and security management��A common policy and security management platform simplifies control and administration, and reduces operational expense.




QUESTION NO: 82
Which two options are two of the built-in features of IPv6? (Choose two.)
A. VLSM
B. native IPsec
C. controlled broadcasts
D. mobile IP
E. NAT
Answer: B,D Explanation:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipv6/configuration/guide/ip6-tunnel.html
IPv6 IPsec Site-to-Site Protection Using Virtual Tunnel Interface The IPv6 IPsec feature provides IPv6 crypto site-to-site protection of all types of IPv6 unicast and multicast traffic using native IPsec IPv6 encapsulation. The IPsec virtual tunnel interface (VTI) feature provides this function, using IKE as the management protocol. An IPsec VTI supports native IPsec tunneling and includes most of the properties of a physical interface. The IPsec VTI alleviates the need to apply crypto maps to multiple interfaces and provides a routable interface.
The IPsec VTI allows IPv6 routers to work as security gateways, establish IPsec tunnels between other security gateway routers, and provide crypto IPsec protection for traffic from internal network when being transmitting across the public IPv6 Internet. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipv6/configuration/guide/ip6-mobile.html
Mobile IPv6 Overview Mobile IPv4 provides an IPv4 node with the ability to retain the same IPv4 address and maintain uninterrupted network and application connectivity while traveling across networks. In Mobile IPv6, the IPv6 address space enables Mobile IP deployment in any kind of large environment. No foreign agent is needed to use Mobile IPv6.
System infrastructures do not need an upgrade to accept Mobile IPv6 nodes. IPv6 autoconfiguration simplifies mobile node (MN) Care of Address (CoA) assignment. Mobile IPv6 benefits from the IPv6 protocol itself; for example, Mobile IPv6 uses IPv6 option headers (routing, destination, and mobility) and benefits from the use of neighbor discovery. Mobile IPv6 provides optimized routing, which helps avoid triangular routing. Mobile IPv6 nodes work transparently even with nodes that do not support mobility (although these nodes do not have route optimization). Mobile IPv6 is fully backward-compatible with existing IPv6 specifications. Therefore, any existing host that does not understand the new mobile messages will send an error message, and communications with the mobile node will be able to continue, albeit without the direct routing optimization.


QUESTION NO: 83
Which option is a characteristic of the RADIUS protocol?
A. uses TCP

B. offers multiprotocol support
C. combines authentication and authorization in one process
D. supports bi-directional challenge
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk59/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094e99.shtml
Authentication and Authorization RADIUS combines authentication and authorization. The access-accept packets sent by the RADIUS server to the client contain authorization information. This makes it difficult to decouple authentication and authorization.
TACACS+ uses the AAA architecture, which separates AAA. This allows separate authentication solutions that can still use TACACS+ for authorization and accounting. For example, with TACACS+, it is possible to use Kerberos authentication and TACACS+ authorization and accounting. After a NAS authenticates on a Kerberos server, it requests authorization information from a TACACS+ server without having to re-authenticate. The NAS informs the TACACS+ server that it has successfully authenticated on a Kerberos server, and the server then provides authorization information.
During a session, if additional authorization checking is needed, the access server checks with a TACACS+ server to determine if the user is granted permission to use a particular command. This provides greater control over the commands that can be executed on the access server while decoupling from the authentication mechanism.
QUESTION NO: 84
Refer to the below.


Which statement about this debug output is true?
A. The requesting authentication request came from username GETUSER.
B. The TACACS+ authentication request came from a valid user.
C. The TACACS+ authentication request passed, but for some reason the user's connection was closed immediately.
D. The initiating connection request was being spoofed by a different source address.

Answer: B Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2/debug/command/reference/dbfser.html

A. Implement in-band management whenever possible.
B. Implement telnet for encrypted device management access.
C. Implement SNMP with read/write access for troubleshooting purposes.
D. Synchronize clocks on hosts and devices.

Background Information Network time synchronization, to the degree required for modern performance analysis, is an essential exercise. Depending on the business models, and the services being provided, the characterization of network performance can be considered an important competitive service differentiator. In these cases, great expense may be incurred deploying network management systems and directing engineering resources towards analyzing the collected performance data. However, if proper attention is not given to the often-overlooked principle of time synchronization, those efforts may be rendered useless.


QUESTION NO: 88
Which statement best represents the characteristics of a VLAN?
A. Ports in a VLAN will not share broadcasts amongst physically separate switches.
B. A VLAN can only connect across a LAN within the same building.
C. A VLAN is a logical broadcast domain that can span multiple physical LAN segments.
D. A VLAN provides individual port security.
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/configuration/guide/cli_rel_4 _0_1a/VLANs.html

Configuring VLANs You can use virtual LANs (VLANs) to divide the network into separate logical areas. VLANs can also be considered as broadcast domains. Any switch port can belong to a VLAN, and unicast, broadcast, and multicast packets are forwarded and flooded only to end stations in that VLAN. Each VLAN is considered a logical network, and packets destined for stations that do not belong to the VLAN must be forwarded through a router.


QUESTION NO: 89
Which Layer 2 protocol provides loop resolution by managing the physical paths to given network segments?
A. root guard
B. port fast
C. HSRP
D. STP
Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk621/technologies_configuration_example09186a008009 467c.shtml
Introduction Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a Layer 2 protocol that runs on bridges and switches. The specification for STP is IEEE 802.1D. The main purpose of STP is to ensure that you do not create loops when you have redundant paths in your network. Loops are deadly to a network.


QUESTION NO: 90
When STP mitigation features are configured, where should the root guard feature be deployed?
A. toward ports that connect to switches that should not be the root bridge
B. on all switch ports
C. toward user-facing ports
D. Root guard should be configured globally on the switch.

Answer: A Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk621/technologies_tech_note09186a00800ae96b.shtml
The root guard feature provides a way to enforce the root bridge placement in the network. The root guard ensures that the port on which root guard is enabled is the designated port. Normally, root bridge ports are all designated ports, unless two or more ports of the root bridge are connected together. If the bridge receives superior STP Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) on a root guard-enabled port, root guard moves this port to a root-inconsistent STP state. This root-inconsistent state is effectively equal to a listening state. No traffic is forwarded across this port. In this way, the root guard enforces the position of the root bridge.


QUESTION NO: 91
Which option is a characteristic of a stateful firewall?
A. can analyze traffic at the application layer
B. allows modification of security rule sets in real time to allow return traffic
C. will allow outbound communication, but return traffic must be explicitly permitted
D. supports user authentication
Answer: B Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/security_management/cisco_security_manager/ security_manager/4.1/user/guide/fwinsp.html
Understanding Inspection Rules Inspection rules configure Context-Based Access Control (CBAC) inspection commands. CBAC inspects traffic that travels through the device to discover and manage state information for TCP and UDP sessions. The device uses this state information to create temporary openings to allow return traffic and additional data connections for permissible sessions. CBAC creates temporary openings in access lists at firewall interfaces. These openings are created when inspected traffic exits your internal network through the firewall. The openings allow returning traffic (that would normally be blocked) and additional data channels to enter your internal network back through the firewall. The traffic is allowed back through the firewall only if it is part of the same session as the original traffic that triggered inspection when exiting through the firewall.
Inspection rules are applied after your access rules, so any traffic that you deny in the access rule is not inspected. The traffic must be allowed by the access rules at both the input and output interfaces to be inspected. Whereas access rules allow you to control connections at layer 3 (network, IP) or 4 (transport, TCP or UDP protocol), you can use inspection rules to control traffic using application-layer protocol session information. For all protocols, when you inspect the protocol, the device provides the following functions:

.
Automatically opens a return path for the traffic (reversing the source and destination addresses), so that you do not need to create an access rule to allow the return traffic. Each connection is considered a session, and the device maintains session state information and allows return traffic only for valid sessions. Protocols that use TCP contain explicit session information, whereas for UDP applications, the device models the equivalent of a session based on the source and destination addresses and the closeness in time of a sequence of UDP packets. These temporary access lists are created dynamically and are removed at the end of a session.

.
Tracks sequence numbers in all TCP packets and drops those packets with sequence numbers that are not within expected ranges.

.
Uses timeout and threshold values to manage session state information, helping to determine when to drop sessions that do not become fully established. When a session is dropped, or reset, the device informs both the source and destination of the session to reset the connection, freeing up resources and helping to mitigate potential Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.




QUESTION NO: 92
Which type of NAT would you configure if a host on the external network required access to an internal host?
A. outside global NAT
B. NAT overload
C. dynamic outside NAT
D. static NAT
Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa82/configuration/guide/nat_static.html Information About Static NAT Static NAT creates a fixed translation of real address(es) to mapped address(es).With dynamic NAT and PAT, each host uses a different address or port for each subsequent translation. Because the mapped address is the same for each consecutive connection with static NAT, and a persistent translation rule exists, static NAT allows hosts on the destination network to initiate traffic to a translated host (if an access list exists that allows it).

The main difference between dynamic NAT and a range of addresses for static NAT is that static NAT allows a remote host to initiate a connection to a translated host (if an access list exists that allows it), while dynamic NAT does not. You also need an equal number of mapped addresses as real addresses with static NAT.
Figure 28-1 shows a typical static NAT scenario. The translation is always active so both translated and remote hosts can originate connections, and the mapped address is statically assigned by the static command. Figure 28-1 Static NAT



QUESTION NO: 93
Which statement about disabled signatures when using Cisco IOS IPS is true?
A. They do not take any actions, but do produce alerts.
B. They are not scanned or processed.
C. They still consume router resources.
D. They are considered to be "retired" signatures.
Answer: C Explanation:
Disabled means that the signature does not produce an alert but is compiled into memory and inspection takes place. There are advantages of having signatures disabled, such as allowing the customer to quickly enable the signature without waiting for it to be loaded into memory and for inspection to take place.


QUESTION NO: 94

Which type of intrusion prevention technology is the primary type used by the Cisco IPS security appliances?
A. profile-based
B. rule-based
C. protocol analysis-based
D. signature-based
E. NetFlow anomaly-based
Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t8/feature/guide/gt_fwids.html
The Signature Definition File A Signature Definition file (SDF) has definitions for each signature it contains. After signatures are loaded and complied onto a router running Cisco IOS IPS, IPS can begin detecting the new signatures immediately. If customers do not use the default, built-in signatures that are shipped with the routers, users can choose to download one of two different types of SDFs: the attack-drop.sdf file (which is a static file) or a dynamic SDF (which is dynamically updated and accessed from Cisco.com). The attack-drop.sdf file is available in flash on all Cisco access routers that are shipped with Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)T or later. The attack-drop.sdf file can then be loaded directly from flash into the Cisco IOS IPS system. If flash is erased, the attack-drop.sdf file may also be erased. Thus, if you are copying a Cisco IOS image to flash and are prompted to erase the contents of flash before copying the new image, you might risk erasing the attack-drop.sdf file. If this occurs, the router will refer to the built-in signatures within the Cisco IOS image. The attack-drop.sdf file can also be downloaded onto your router from Cisco.com. To help detect the latest vulnerabilities, Cisco provides signature updates on Cisco.com on a regular basis. Users can use SDM or VMS to download these signature updates, tune the signature parameters as necessary, and deploy the new SDF to a Cisco IOS IPS router.

Secure Network Life Cycle By framing security within the context of IT governance, compliance, and risk management, and by building it with a sound security architecture at its core, the result is usually a less expensive and more effective process. Including security early in the information process within the system design life cycle (SDLC) usually results in less-expensive and more-effective security when compared to adding it to an operational system. A general SDLC includes five phases:
1.
Initiation

2.
Acquisition and development

3.
Implementation

4.
Operations and maintenance

5.
Disposition Each of these five phases includes a minimum set of security steps that you need to follow to effectively incorporate security into a system during its development. An organization either uses the general SDLC or develops a tailored SDLC that meets its specific needs. In either case, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends that organizations incorporate the associated IT security steps of this general SDLC into their development process.

Cisco Network-Based Intrusion Detection��Functionalities and Configuration This chapter highlights the need for and the benefits of deploying network-based intrusion detection in the data center. It addresses mitigation techniques, deployment models, and the management of the infrastructure. Intrusion detection systems help data centers and other computer installations prepare for and deal with electronic attacks. Usually deployed as a component of a security infrastructure with a set of security policies for a larger, comprehensive information system, the detection systems themselves are of two main types. Network-based systems inspect traffic "on the wire" and host-based systems monitor only individual computer server traffic. Network intrusion detection systems deployed at several points within a single network topology, together with host-based intrusion detection systems and firewalls, can provide a solid, multi-pronged defense against both outside, Internet-based attacks, and internal threats, including network misconfiguration, misuse, or negligent practices. The Cisco Intrusion Detection System (IDS) product line provides flexible solutions for data center security.

Refer to the exhibit.

You are a network manager for your organization. You are looking at your Syslog server reports. Based on the Syslog message shown, which two statements are true? (Choose two.)
A. Service timestamps have been globally enabled.
B. This is a normal system-generated information message and does not require further investigation.
C. This message is unimportant and can be ignored.
D. This message is a level 5 notification message.
Answer: A,D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2960/software/release/12.2_55_se/configur ation/guide/swlog.html

System Log Message Format System log messages can contain up to 80 characters and a percent sign (%), which follows the optional sequence number or time-stamp information, if configured. Messages appear in this format: seq no:timestamp: %facility-severity-MNEMONIC:description (hostname-n) The part of the message preceding the percent sign depends on the setting of the service sequence-numbers, service timestamps log datetime, service timestamps log datetime [localtime] [msec] [show-timezone], or service timestamps log uptime global configuration command. seq no: Stamps log messages with a sequence number only if the service sequence-numbers global configuration command is configured.

Which four methods are used by hackers? (Choose four.)
A. footprint analysis attack
B. privilege escalation attack
C. buffer Unicode attack
D. front door attacks
E. social engineering attack
F. Trojan horse attack
Answer: A,B,E,F Explanation:
https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/15823-1-57665/CCNA%20Security%20(640-554)%20Portable%20Command%20Guide_ch01.pdf
Thinking Like a Hacker The following seven steps may be taken to compromise targets and applications: Step 1 Perform footprint analysis Hackers generally try to build a complete profile of a target company��s security posture using a broad range of easily available tools and techniques. They can discover organizational domain names, network blocks, IP addresses of systems, ports, services that are used, and more. Step 2 Enumerate applications and operating systems Special readily available tools are used to discover additional target information. Ping sweeps use Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) to discover devices on a network. Port scans discover TCP/UDP port status. Other tools include Netcat, Microsoft EPDump and Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Dump, GetMAC, and software development kits (SDKs). Step 3 Manipulate users to gain access Social engineering techniques may be used to manipulate target employees to acquire passwords. They may call or email them and try to convince them to reveal passwords without raising any concern or suspicion. Step 4 Escalate privileges To escalate their privileges, a hacker may attempt to use Trojan horse programs and get target users to unknowingly copy malicious code to their corporate system. Step 5 Gather additional passwords and secrets With escalated privileges, hackers may use tools such as the pwdump and LSADump applications to gather passwords from machines running Windows. Step 6 Install back doors Hacker may attempt to enter through the ��front door,�� or they may use ��back doors�� into the system. The backdoor method means bypassing normal authentication while attempting to remain undetected. A common backdoor point is a listening port that provides remote access to the system. Step 7 Leverage the compromised system After hackers gain administrative access, they attempt to hack other systems.



QUESTION NO: 130
Which statement about Cisco IOS IPS on Cisco IOS Release 12.4(11)T and later is true?
A. uses Cisco IPS 5.x signature format
B. requires the Basic or Advanced Signature Definition File
C. supports both inline and promiscuous mode
D. requires IEV for monitoring Cisco IPS alerts
E. uses the built-in signatures that come with the Cisco IOS image as backup
F. supports SDEE, SYSLOG, and SNMP for sending Cisco IPS alerts
Answer: A Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/sec_data_ios_ips/configuration/12-4t/sec-ips5-sig-fsue.html
Signature Categories Cisco IPS appliances and Cisco IOS IPS with Cisco 5.x format signatures operate with signature categories. All signatures are pregrouped into categories; the categories are hierarchical. An individual signature can belong to more than one category. Top-level categories help to define general types of signatures. Subcategories exist beneath each top-level signature category. (For a list of supported top-level categories, use your router CLI help (?).) Router Configuration Files and Signature Event Action Processor (SEAP) As of Cisco IOS Release 12.4(11)T, SDFs are no longer used by Cisco IOS IPS. Instead, routers access signature definition information through a directory that contains three configuration files--the default configuration, the delta configuration, and the SEAP configuration. Cisco IOS accesses this directory through the ip ips config location command.

Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/solutions/ns170/networking_solutions_products_genericcontent0900a ecd8051f378.html Create a Stronger Defense Against Threats Each day, you reinvent how you conduct business by adopting Internet-based business models. But Internet connectivity without appropriate security can compromise the gains you hope to make. In today's connected environment, outbreaks spread globally in a matter of minutes, which means your security systems must react instantly. Maintaining security using tactical, point solutions introduces complexity and inconsistency, but integrating security throughout the network protects the information that resides on it. Three components are critical to effective information security:
.
A secure network platform with integrated security to which you can easily add advanced security technologies and services

.
Threat control services focused on antivirus protection and policy enforcement that continuously monitor network activity and prevent or mitigate problems

.
Secure communication services that maintain the privacy and confidentiality of sensitive data, voice, video, and wireless communications while cost-effectively extending the reach of your network

D. queuing
E. state
F. express forwarding
Answer: E Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa82/configuration/guide/intro.html

Stateful Inspection Overview All traffic that goes through the ASA is inspected using the Adaptive Security Algorithm and either allowed through or dropped. A simple packet filter can check for the correct source address, destination address, and ports, but it does not check that the packet sequence or flags are correct. A filter also checks every packet against the filter, which can be a slow process. A stateful firewall like the ASA, however, takes into consideration the state of a packet:
.
Is this a new connection? If it is a new connection, the ASA has to check the packet against access lists and perform other tasks to determine if the packet is allowed or denied. To perform this check, the first packet of the session goes through the "session management path," and depending on the type of traffic, it might also pass through the "control plane path." The session management path is responsible for the following tasks: �CPerforming the access list checks �CPerforming route lookups �CAllocating NAT translations (xlates) �CEstablishing sessions in the "fast path" The ASA creates forward and reverse flows in the fast path for TCP traffic; the ASA also creates connection state information for connectionless protocols like UDP, ICMP (when you enable ICMP inspection), so that they can also use the fast path. Some packets that require Layer 7 inspection (the packet payload must be inspected or altered) are passed on to the control plane path. Layer 7 inspection engines are required for protocols that have two or more channels: A data channel, which uses well-known port numbers, and a control channel, which uses different port numbers for each session. These protocols include FTP, H.323, and SNMP.

.
Is this an established connection? If the connection is already established, the ASA does not need to re-check packets; most matching packets can go through the "fast" path in both directions. The fast path is responsible for the following tasks: �CIP checksum verification �CSession lookup �CTCP sequence number check �CNAT translations based on existing sessions �CLayer 3 and Layer 4 header adjustments Data packets for protocols that require Layer 7 inspection can also go through the fast path. Some established session packets must continue to go through the session management path or the control plane path. Packets that go through the session management path include HTTP packets that require inspection or content filtering. Packets that go through the control plane path include the control packets for protocols that require Layer 7 inspection.





QUESTION NO: 133
Which Cisco IOS command is used to verify that either the Cisco IOS image, the configuration files, or both have been properly backed up and secured?
A. show archive
B. show secure bootset
C. show flash
D. show file systems
E. dir
F. dir archive
Answer: B Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/sec_user_services/configuration/guide/sec_resil_config_ps6 922_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html
Restrictions for Cisco IOS Resilient Configuration
.
This feature is available only on platforms that support a Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) disk. There must be enough space on the storage device to accommodate at least one Cisco IOS image (two for upgrades) and a copy of the running configuration. IOS Files System (IFS) support for secure file systems is also needed by the software.

.
It may be possible to force removal of secured files using an older version of Cisco IOS software that does not contain file system support for hidden files.

.
This feature can be disabled only by using a console connection to the router. With the exception of the upgrade scenario, feature activation does not require console access.

.
You cannot secure a bootset with an image loaded from the network. The running image must be loaded from persistent storage to be secured as primary.

.
Secured files will not appear on the output of a dir command issued from an executive shell because the IFS prevents secure files in a directory from being listed. ROM monitor (ROMMON) mode does not have any such restriction and can be used to list and boot secured files. The running image and running configuration archives will not be visible in the Cisco IOS dir command output. Instead, use the show secure bootset command to verify archive existence.




QUESTION NO: 134
What does the secure boot-config global configuration accomplish?
A. enables Cisco IOS image resilience

B. backs up the Cisco IOS image from flash to a TFTP server
C. takes a snapshot of the router running configuration and securely archives it in persistent storage
D. backs up the router running configuration to a TFTP server
E. stores a secured copy of the Cisco IOS image in its persistent storage
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/security/command/reference/sec_book.html
secure boot-config To take a snapshot of the router running configuration and securely archive it in persistent storage, use the secure boot-config command in global configuration mode. To remove the secure configuration archive and disable configuration resilience, use the no form of this command.
secure boot-config [restore filename] no secure boot-config Usage Guidelines Without any parameters, this command takes a snapshot of the router running configuration and securely archives it in persistent storage. Like the image, the configuration archive is hidden and cannot be viewed or removed directly from the command-line interface (CLI) prompt . It is recommended that you run this command after the router has been fully configured to reach a steady state of operation and the running configuration is considered complete for a restoration, if required. A syslog message is printed on the console notifying the user of configuration resilience activation. The secure archive uses the time of creation as its filename. For example, .runcfg-20020616-081702.ar was created July 16 2002 at 8:17:02.
The restore option reproduces a copy of the secure configuration archive as the supplied filename (disk0:running-config, slot1:runcfg, and so on). The restore operation will work only if configuration resilience is enabled. The number of restored copies that can be created is unlimited. The no form of this command removes the secure configuration archive and disables configuration resilience. An enable, disable, enable sequence has the effect of upgrading the configuration archive if any changes were made to the running configuration since the last time the feature was disabled. The configuration upgrade scenario is similar to an image upgrade. The feature detects a different version of Cisco IOS and notifies the user of a version mismatch. The same command can be run to upgrade the configuration archive to a newer version after new configuration commands corresponding to features in the new image have been issued. The correct sequence of steps to upgrade the configuration archive after an image upgrade is as follows:
.
Configure new commands

.
Issue the secure boot-config command

secure boot-image To enable Cisco IOS image resilience, use the secure boot-image command in global configuration mode. To disable Cisco IOS image resilience and release the secured image so that it can be safely removed, use the no form of this command. secure boot-image no secure boot-image Usage Guidelines This command enables or disables the securing of the running Cisco IOS image. The following two possible scenarios exist with this command.

.
When turned on for the first time, the running image (as displayed in the show version command output) is secured, and a syslog entry is generated. This command will function properly only when the system is configured to run an image from a disk with an Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) interface. Images booted from a TFTP server cannot be secured. Because this command has the effect of "hiding" the running image, the image file will not be included in any directory listing of the disk. The no form of this command releases the image so that it can be safely removed.

.
If the router is configured to boot up with Cisco IOS resilience and an image with a different version of Cisco IOS is detected, a message similar to the following is displayed at bootup: ios resilience :Archived image and configuration version 12.2 differs from running version 12.3. Run secure boot-config and image commands to upgrade archives to running version. To upgrade the image archive to the new running image, reenter this command from the console. A message will be displayed about the upgraded image. The old image is released and will be visible in the dir command output.

F. Create a root local user in the local database.
Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t7/feature/guide/gtclivws.html
Role-Based CLI Access The Role-Based CLI Access feature allows the network administrator to define "views," which are a set of operational commands and configuration capabilities that provide selective or partial access to Cisco IOS EXEC and configuration (Config) mode commands. Views restrict user access to Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) and configuration information; that is, a view can define what commands are accepted and what configuration information is visible. Thus, network administrators can exercise better control over access to Cisco networking devices. Configuring a CLI View Prerequisites Before you create a view, you must perform the following tasks:
.
Enable AAA via the aaa new-model command. (For more information on enabling AAA, see the chapter "Configuring Authentication" in the Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide, Release 12.3.

QUESTION NO: 141
Refer to the exhibit and partial configuration.

Which statement is true?
A. All traffic destined for network 172.16.150.0 will be denied due to the implicit deny all.
B. All traffic from network 10.0.0.0 will be permitted.
C. Access-list 101 will prevent address spoofing from interface E0.
D. This is a misconfigured ACL resulting in traffic not being allowed into the router in interface S0.
E. This ACL will prevent any host on the Internet from spoofing the inside network address as the source address for packets coming into the router from the Internet.

Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_white_paper09186a00801afc76.shtml
Transit ACL Sections In general, a transit ACL is composed of four sections. Special-use address and anti-spoofing entries that deny illegitimate sources and packets with source addresses that belong within your network from entering the network from an external source Note: RFC 1918 leavingcisco.com defines reserved address space that is not a valid source address on the Internet. RFC 3330 leavingcisco.com defines special-use addresses that might require filtering. RFC 2827 leavingcisco.com provides anti-spoofing guidelines. Explicitly permitted return traffic for internal connections to the Internet Explicitly permitted externally sourced traffic destined to protected internal addresses Explicit deny statement Note: Although all ACLs contain an implicit deny statement, Cisco recommends use of an explicit deny statemen, for example, deny ip any any. On most platforms, such statements maintain a count of the number of denied packets that can be displayed using the show access-list command.


QUESTION NO: 142
What will be disabled as a result of the no service password-recovery command?
A. changes to the config-register setting
B. ROMMON
C. password encryption service
D. aaa new-model global configuration command
E. the xmodem privilege EXEC mode command to recover the Cisco IOS image
Answer: B Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps274/products_configuration_example09186a0 0801d8113.shtml
Background ROMMON security is designed not to allow a person with physical access to the router view the configuration file. ROMMON security disables access to the ROMMON, so that a person cannot set the configuration register to ignore the start-up configuration. ROMMON security is enabled when the router is configured with the no service password-recovery command. Caution: Because password recovery that uses ROMMON security destroys the configuration, it is

recommended that you save the router configuration somewhere off the router, such as on a TFTP server.
Risks If a router is configured with the no service password-recovery command, this disables all access to the ROMMON. If there is no valid Cisco IOS software image in the Flash memory of the router, the user is not able to use the ROMMON XMODEM command in order to load a new Flash image. In order to fix the router, you must get a new Cisco IOS software image on a Flash SIMM, or on a PCMCIA card, for example on the 3600 Series Routers. In order to minimize this risk, a customer who uses ROMMON security must also use dual Flash bank memory and put a backup Cisco IOS software image in a separate partition.

What does the MD5 algorithm do?
A. takes a message less than 2^64 bits as input and produces a 160-bit message digest
B. takes a variable-length message and produces a 168-bit message digest
C. takes a variable-length message and produces a 128-bit message digest
D. takes a fixed-length message and produces a 128-bit message digest
Answer: C Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk372/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094203.shtml
Message Digest 5 (MD5)��This is a one way hashing algorithm that produces a 128-bit hash. Both MD5 and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) are variations on MD4, which is designed to strengthen the security of this hashing algorithm. SHA is more secure than MD4 and MD5. Cisco uses hashes for authentication within the IPsec framework.


QUESTION NO: 144
You have configured a standard access control list on a router and applied it to interface Serial 0 in an outbound direction. No ACL is applied to Interface Serial 1 on the same router. What happens when traffic being filtered by the access list does not match the configured ACL statements for Serial 0?

A. The resulting action is determined by the destination IP address.
B. The resulting action is determined by the destination IP address and port number.
C. The source IP address is checked, and, if a match is not found, traffic is routed out interface Serial 1.
D. The traffic is dropped.
Answer: D Explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_configuration_example09186a008010 0548.shtml
Introduction This document provides sample configurations for commonly used IP Access Control Lists (ACLs), which filter IP packets based on: Source address Destination address Type of packet Any combination of these items In order to filter network traffic, ACLs control whether routed packets are forwarded or blocked at the router interface. Your router examines each packet to determine whether to forward or drop the packet based on the criteria that you specify within the ACL. ACL criteria include:
Source address of the traffic Destination address of the traffic Upper-layer protocol Complete these steps to construct an ACL as the examples in this document show: Create an ACL.
Apply the ACL to an interface. The IP ACL is a sequential collection of permit and deny conditions that applies to an IP packet. The router tests packets against the conditions in the ACL one at a time. The first match determines whether the Cisco IOS. Software accepts or rejects the packet. Because the Cisco IOS Software stops testing conditions after the first match, the order of the conditions is critical. If no conditions match, the router rejects the packet because of an implicit deny all clause.
