Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 54

Question 530

Network operations needs records of when individual administrators connected and which sensitive configuration commands they ran. Which AAA function addresses this?

  1. A DHCP lease database as the command audit.
  2. Authorization only, without any event logging.
  3. Accounting that logs sessions and authorized command activity.
  4. Authentication only, which stores all executed commands automatically.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

AAA accounting collects evidence about device access and actions for investigation and policy compliance. The data should identify the principal and timestamps where supported. Authentication proves identity and authorization limits commands, but neither alone provides the requested historical activity record.

Incorrect Answers

A:

DHCP records address allocations, not privileged CLI command histories. It is not a substitute for AAA accounting.

B:

Authorization can permit or deny actions, but a policy decision does not guarantee durable records. Accounting must be configured for the required audit.

D:

Authentication checks credentials and does not necessarily keep a complete command history. Accounting is the dedicated activity tracking function.

Question 531

A legacy wireless network uses WEP static keys. Security asks for a modern mechanism rather than relying on WEP’s weak encryption design. Which family is appropriate for compatible devices?

  1. Use an open WLAN with no authentication or data encryption.
  2. Change only the access switch IP subnet mask.
  3. WPA2 or WPA3 using supported secure authentication and encryption configurations.
  4. Retain WEP because a longer SSID strengthens its encryption.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

WPA2 and WPA3 replace weak legacy WEP protections with more robust wireless security mechanisms when configured appropriately. Select the version based on client capability and enterprise policy, and avoid weak fallback modes. A wireless network name or a hidden SSID is not a substitute for cryptographic link protection.

Incorrect Answers

A:

An open WLAN lacks the requested protected access model and can expose client traffic on the radio link.

B:

IP addressing is unrelated to WEP/WPA cryptographic negotiation. It cannot modernize WLAN link security.

D:

An SSID is a network identifier and does not repair WEP’s cryptographic weaknesses. The security protocol must be replaced.

Question 532

A company migrates client devices to WPA3-Personal and wants protection against offline dictionary attack weaknesses associated with traditional PSK handshakes. Which mechanism is characteristic of WPA3-Personal?

  1. OSPF MD5 authentication between routers.
  2. Legacy WEP shared-key authentication.
  3. Plain HTTP Basic authentication in the WLAN captive portal.
  4. Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE).

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

WPA3-Personal uses SAE as the password-authenticated key exchange mechanism, improving resistance to offline password-guessing attacks compared with traditional WPA2-Personal PSK handshakes. Client and AP support must be confirmed, and strong passwords remain advisable. SAE is not an IPsec VPN or an Ethernet port-security mode.

Incorrect Answers

A:

OSPF authentication protects routing peers, not Wi-Fi client access. SAE is specific to modern WPA3-Personal.

B:

WEP uses an obsolete weak design and does not provide WPA3’s SAE exchange. It conflicts with the security migration goal.

C:

HTTP Basic belongs to web application authentication and does not substitute for link-layer WPA3-Personal key exchange. The radio association uses SAE.

Question 533

A wireless site uses a WPA2-Enterprise WLAN and wants credentials to be independently revoked when an individual employee leaves. Why is enterprise authentication advantageous?

  1. Individual 802.1X identities can be disabled without changing every remaining user’s shared key.
  2. WPA2-Enterprise requires no identity system at all.
  3. Every client must share the same permanent PSK to retain separate audit trails.
  4. Changing the Wi-Fi channel revokes the departing user’s credentials.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

An enterprise WLAN can authenticate users through their own accounts or certificate credentials, allowing targeted revocation and audit. A PSK-only WLAN often shares one passphrase among clients, making selective offboarding harder. The deployment must still enforce authentication policy and handle certificate or password lifecycle correctly.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Enterprise security depends on an 802.1X authentication backend or equivalent approved identity infrastructure. It is not automatically anonymous.

C:

Shared PSKs do not inherently identify individuals and complicate selective revocation. Enterprise identity methods are designed for per-principal control.

D:

RF channel selection affects radio association conditions but does not disable an employee’s authentication identity. Revocation is a policy/identity operation.

Question 534

A WLAN design uses one pre-shared passphrase for compatible home-office devices without a central 802.1X identity server. Which WPA2 authentication deployment mode is intended?

  1. WPA2-Personal using PSK.
  2. WPA2-Enterprise requiring 802.1X/RADIUS identities.
  3. A VLAN native tag as the shared key.
  4. Open authentication with no cryptographic credential.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

WPA2-Personal establishes WLAN authentication from a shared pre-shared key rather than individual enterprise 802.1X credentials. It can fit small networks but requires controlled passphrase distribution and rotation. The SSID and PSK are separate fields, and a shared secret limits per-user accountability.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Enterprise mode can provide individual credentials but does not match the specified shared-PSK design with no central authentication server.

C:

802.1Q tags identify Ethernet segments, not WLAN cryptographic keys. VLAN configuration cannot satisfy PSK authentication.

D:

An open WLAN has no shared passphrase verification and does not provide the requested WPA2-Personal protected association.

Question 535

A campus WLAN uses individual employee credentials verified by an enterprise RADIUS service rather than one shared password. Which security model is indicated?

  1. An open SSID with a DHCP reservation for each employee.
  2. WPA2-Personal using the same shared password for all staff.
  3. An ACL matching only the WLAN name.
  4. WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise with supported 802.1X authentication.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Enterprise WLAN modes use 802.1X/EAP and an identity infrastructure to authenticate users or devices individually according to the selected WLAN security design. This supports account-specific access and revocation better than one common PSK. Certificates and the chosen EAP method should be validated under current organizational requirements.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A DHCP reservation assigns an IP address but is not WLAN authentication or encryption. It does not verify identity before association.

B:

One common PSK does not supply independent user authentication against RADIUS. It cannot provide the requested per-person credential lifecycle.

C:

An ACL controls traffic by packet fields, while an SSID is not a user credential. The requirement specifies an 802.1X enterprise identity model.

Question 536

A WPA2-PSK WLAN in the controller GUI advertises correctly. Clients fail authentication because one digit of their configured passphrase differs from the approved key. What should the administrator do?

  1. Correct the WLAN/client PSK mismatch using the approved passphrase and retest association.
  2. Change the client’s IPv4 subnet mask only.
  3. Disable authentication while keeping the same SSID.
  4. Lower OSPF metric to force wireless encryption to succeed.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

WPA2-Personal key negotiation depends on compatible key material on AP/WLC and client sides. A mismatched passphrase causes the protected association handshake to fail even when RF signal and SSID are correct. Update the authorized credential under change control, preserving intended user segmentation.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The client has not completed link-layer authentication, so IP parameters cannot repair the earlier WPA2 key handshake failure.

C:

Removing WPA2 protection might allow an open association but violates the requirement for protected network access. The key must match.

D:

OSPF route preference is unrelated to WPA2 key agreement. The failure exists before normal IP forwarding.

Question 537

An administrator creates a WPA2-PSK WLAN but forgets to enable its profile and assign it to the AP’s policy tag. Why do clients not see the SSID?

  1. The WLC needs a new OSPF router ID before it may broadcast a WLAN.
  2. The WLAN’s VLAN number must equal the SSID character count.
  3. A strong PSK alone automatically enables every controller WLAN.
  4. The WLAN must be enabled and referenced by the appropriate AP policy assignment.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

WLC configuration can contain saved WLAN profiles that are not currently served by any AP. The policy-tag or relevant WLAN association controls which APs advertise and enforce it. Correct the administrative state and tag mapping before diagnosing client passwords for a WLAN that is not yet visible.

Incorrect Answers

A:

OSPF identity governs routing control and does not activate a saved wireless profile. AP policy mapping is the missing step.

B:

VLAN IDs identify Ethernet traffic segments; SSID length has no required numeric relationship. Neither substitutes for policy association.

C:

Key strength affects authentication security but does not turn on a disabled profile or associate it with serving APs. WLAN activation is separate.

Question 538

A Cisco wireless controller GUI has a WLAN profile named GuestSecure, but the Security setting is Open. It must require WPA2-Personal with an approved shared key. Which GUI change is needed?

  1. Choose WPA2-PSK/Personal and configure the validated approved passphrase.
  2. Change the IP gateway on the WLC.
  3. Enable Telnet to the WLC management interface.
  4. Rename the WLAN profile to include the text WPA2.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

WPA2-Personal depends on a matching PSK being configured on the WLAN and entered by compatible clients. Open mode has no such cryptographic shared-key authentication. After saving and applying the WLAN profile, test a valid key and invalid key to confirm the expected behavior.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Routing can affect connectivity after association but does not enable the WPA2 handshake. Link security settings must be configured directly.

C:

Telnet is an unencrypted management protocol and not the client WLAN security setting. It would add exposure rather than enforce PSK.

D:

A label is not an authentication configuration. The WLAN would remain open until the actual security mode and key are changed.

Question 539

An engineer finishes a Cisco WLC WPA2-PSK WLAN configuration. Which operational test best validates both security and connectivity without approving an incomplete setup?

  1. Only run ping from the WLC management interface to the controller default gateway.
  2. Confirm correct-key association succeeds, wrong-key authentication fails, and authorized clients reach the intended VLAN/gateway.
  3. Only verify that the SSID text appears in a client network list.
  4. Only check that the WPA2 field contains the word Personal.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A complete WPA2-Personal check should verify the key handshake, the denial of invalid credentials and the expected postassociation network path. A client can authenticate successfully yet land in the wrong VLAN, and a wrong password should not silently grant access. This end-to-end test checks both security and useful service.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The management plane can be reachable while client authentication or VLAN mapping is misconfigured. Client-side tests are still needed.

C:

SSID visibility proves advertisement, not successful authentication, wrong-key rejection or VLAN forwarding. It is an incomplete test.

D:

A GUI field alone does not prove saved config is served by the AP or that key and client connectivity actually work. Operational testing is required.

Question 540

A controller provides a WPA2-Personal WLAN mapped to guest VLAN 200. The SSID is visible and clients authenticate, but their traffic is placed into employee VLAN 10. Which GUI field should be reviewed?

  1. The WLAN/policy profile client VLAN mapping, correcting it to the authorized guest VLAN 200.
  2. The WPA2 passphrase, because successful authentication proves the VLAN must be correct.
  3. The switch default OSPF cost for all routes.
  4. The 2.4-GHz RF channel number, changing it to 200.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

After successful WLAN authentication, the selected controller policy determines where associated client frames are switched or tagged. A mistaken mapping to VLAN 10 breaks segmentation even when the WPA2 handshake is valid. Verify both the policy association and upstream trunk or local switching VLAN transport.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The key controls link authentication, not the client’s wired VLAN mapping. Authentication can succeed while segmentation is wrong.

C:

A route metric cannot change which WLAN VLAN is assigned at association. Layer 2 client mapping must be corrected.

D:

Radio channel numbers belong to the wireless spectrum and do not set 802.1Q VLAN assignments. The mismatch is in client policy mapping.
