    • F.

      Makes authorized network administrator intervention a requirement to establish each session

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. Uses a three-way authentication periodically during the session to reconfirm identities
    D. Transmits login information in encrypted format
    E. Uses an unpredictable variable challenge value to prevent playback attacks
    Explanation
    CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) is preferred over PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) for authentication in a PPP link due to the following reasons:

    1. CHAP establishes identities with a two-way handshake, which ensures that both the client and server authenticate each other before establishing a connection.

    2. CHAP uses a three-way authentication periodically during the session to reconfirm identities. This adds an extra layer of security by continuously verifying the identities of both the client and server throughout the session.

    3. CHAP transmits login information in encrypted format, making it more secure compared to PAP, which sends login credentials in plain text.

    4. CHAP uses an unpredictable variable challenge value to prevent playback attacks. This means that even if an attacker intercepts the challenge-response packets, they cannot replay them to gain unauthorized access.

    5. CHAP does not require authorized network administrator intervention to establish each session, making it more convenient for regular use.

    What is a secure configuration option for remote access to a network device?

    • A.

      Configure SSH.

    • B.

      Configure Telnet.

    • C.

      Configure 802.1x.

    • D.

      Configure an ACL and apply it to the VTY lines.

    Correct Answer
    A. Configure SSH.
    Explanation
    Configuring SSH (Secure Shell) is a secure configuration option for remote access to a network device. SSH provides encrypted communication between the client and the server, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted over the network. It also provides authentication mechanisms to verify the identity of the remote user. In contrast, Telnet is an insecure protocol that transmits data in clear text, making it vulnerable to eavesdropping and unauthorized access. Configuring 802.1x is a method for controlling network access, but it is not specifically related to remote access configuration. Configuring an ACL (Access Control List) and applying it to the VTY (Virtual Terminal) lines can provide additional security measures by restricting access to the device, but it does not provide the same level of encryption and authentication as SSH.
