1. Why is local database authentication preferred over a password-only login?

A. It specifies a different password for each line or port.
B. It provides for authentication and accountability.
C. It requires a login and password combination on console, vty lines, and aux ports.

AANSWER: B

2. What is a characteristic of AAA?

A. Authorization can only be implemented after a user is authenticated.
B. Accounting services are implemented prior to authenticating a user.

ANSWER: A

5. Which two AAA access method statements are true? (Choose two.)
A.Character mode provides remote users with access to network resources and requires use of the console, vty, or tty ports.
B.Character mode provides remote users with access to network resources and requires use of dialup or VPN.
C.Character mode provides users with administrative privilege EXEC access and requires use of the console, vty, or tty ports.
D.Packet mode provides users with administrative privilege EXEC access and requires use of dialup or VPN.
E.Packet mode provides remote users with access to network resources and requires use of dialup or VPN.
F. Packet mode provides users with administrative privilege EXEC access and requires use of the console, vty, or tty ports.

ANSWER: C,E

6. What is a difference between using the login local command and using local AAA authentication for authenticating administrator
access?
A. Local AAA authentication supports encrypted passwords; login local does not.
B. Local AAA provides a way to configure backup methods of authentication; login local does not.
C. A method list must be configured when using the login local command, but is optional when using local AAA authentication.
D. The login local command supports the keyword none, which ensures that authentication succeeds, even if all methods return an
error.

ANSWER: B
7. Refer to the exhibit. Router R1 has been configured as shown, with the resulting log message. On the basis of the information
presented, which two AAA authentication statements are true? (Choose two.)
A. The locked-out user failed authentication.
B. The locked-out user is locked out for 10 minutes by default.
C. The locked-out user should have used the username Admin and password Pa55w0rd.
D. The locked-out user should have used the username admin and password Str0ngPa55w0rd.
E. The locked-out user stays locked out until the clear aaa local user lockout Admin command is issued

ANSWER: A,E

8. Refer to the exhibit. Router R1 is configured as shown. An administrative user attempts to use Telnet from router R2 to router R1
using the interface IP address 10.10.10.1. However, Telnet access is denied. Which option corrects this problem?
A. The R1 10.10.10.1 router interface must be enabled.
B. The vty lines must be configured with the login authentication default command.
C. The aaa local authentication attempts max-fail command must be set to 2 or higher.
D. The administrative user should use the username Admin and password Str0ngPa55w0rd.

ANSWER: D

9. When configuring a method list for AAA authentication, what is the effect of the keyword local?
A.It accepts a locally configured username, regardless of case.
B.It defaults to the vty line password for authentication.
C.The login succeeds, even if all methods return an error.
D.It uses the enable password for authentication.

ANSWER: A
10. Which two statements describe AAA authentication? (Choose two.)
A. Server-based AAA authentication is more scalable than local AAA authentication.
B. Local AAA is ideal for large complex networks because it uses the local database of
the router for authentication.
C. Server-based AAA authentication can use the RADIUS or TACACS+ protocols to
communicate between the router and a AAA server.
D. Server-based AAA authentication is ideal for large complex networks because it uses
the local database of the router for authentication.
E. Local AAA authentication requires the services of an external server, such as the
Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server.

ANSWER:A,C

11. What is a characteristic of TACACS+?

A. TACACS+ is an open IETF standard.
B. TACACS+ is backward compatible with TACACS and XTACACS.
C. TACACS+ provides authorization of router commands on a per-user or per-group basis.
D. TACACS+ uses UDP port 1645 or 1812 for authentication, and UDP port 1646 or 1813 for accounting.

ANSWER: B

12. Which statement identifies an important difference between TACACS+ and RADIUS?
A. TACACS+ provides extensive accounting capabilities when compared to RADIUS.
B. The RADIUS protocol encrypts the entire packet transmission.
C. The TACACS+ protocol allows for separation of authentication from authorization.
D. RADIUS can cause delays by establishing a new TCP session for each authorization request.

ANSWER: C

13. Which AAA protocol and feature best support a large ISP that needs to implement detailed accounting for customer invoicing?
A. TACACS+ because it combines authentication and authorization, but separates accounting
B. RADIUS because it supports detailed accounting that is required for billing users
C. TACACS+ because it requires select authorization policies to be applied on a per-user or per-group basis
D. RADIUS because it requires select authorization policies to be applied on a per-user or per-group basis

ANSWER: B

14. In regards to Cisco Secure ACS, what is a client device?
