    • Apollo(config)# interface s0/0/0 Apollo(config-if)# ip access-group chemistry_block out

    • Apollo(config)# interface s0/0/1 Apollo(config-if)# ip access-group chemistry_block in

    Correct Answer
    A. Athena(config)# interface fa0/0 Athena(config-if)# ip access-group chemistry_block out
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Athena(config)# interface fa0/0
    Athena(config-if)# ip access-group chemistry_block out. This command sequence will place the named access list called chemistry_block on the outgoing traffic of interface fa0/0 on the Athena router. This means that any traffic leaving the fa0/0 interface will be checked against the access list, and if the source IP address matches the deny statement, the traffic will be denied. This configuration ensures that users on the Chemistry Network and public Internet are denied access to the Records Server, while allowing all other users within the school to access the server.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    What guideline is generally followed about the placement of extended access control lists?

    • They should be placed as close as possible to the destination of the traffic to be denied.

    • They should be placed as close as possible to the source of the traffic to be denied.

    • They should be placed on the fastest interface available.

    • They should be placed on the destination WAN link.

    Correct Answer
    A. They should be placed as close as possible to the source of the traffic to be denied.
    Explanation
    Extended access control lists (ACLs) should be placed as close as possible to the source of the traffic to be denied. This is because ACLs are evaluated sequentially, and placing them closer to the source allows for earlier filtering and reduces unnecessary traffic on the network. By denying unwanted traffic at the source, network resources are conserved and potential security threats are mitigated more efficiently.

    What protocol should be disabled to help mitigate VLAN attacks?

    • STP

    • DTP

    • CDP

    • ARP

    Correct Answer
    A. DTP
    Explanation
    DTP (Dynamic Trunking Protocol) should be disabled to help mitigate VLAN attacks. DTP is a Cisco proprietary protocol used to negotiate trunk links between switches. By disabling DTP, the switch ports will not automatically form trunk links, reducing the risk of unauthorized VLAN hopping attacks. This prevents an attacker from connecting to a switch port and potentially gaining access to multiple VLANs. Disabling DTP ensures that trunking is only enabled on specific ports where it is required, improving network security.
