Which two attack categories does the smurf attack belong to? (Choose two.)
amplification
brute-force
man-in-the-middle
exfiltration
reflection
amplification
reflection
-
A smurf attack can be classified as a reflection attack because it is launched from a
single source spoofing one or multiple IP addresses, triggering replies to the spoofed
sources. By sending a small amount of request traffic, an attacker can cause much
larger response traffic, making it an amplification attack.
You have restarted a router, which has the default booting procedure. During
the reboot, the following messages appear on the console:
%Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/network-confg (Timed out) %Error
opening tftp://255.255.255.255/cisconet.cfg (Timed out)
What can you conclude based on the messages?
The router will attempt to load the configuration from the NVRAM.
The router configuration will be loaded from the TFTP server.
The TFTP server URL is incorrect.
The configuration file is not found on the TFTP server.
The configuration file is not found on the TFTP server.
-
By default, the router first attempts to load the startup configuration from the
NVRAM. If the startup configuration file does not exist in NVRAM, the router
searches for a TFTP server. If the router detects that it has an active link, it sends a
broadcast searching for a configuration file across the active link. No specific TFTP
URL is used. If the router does not find the configuration source, it will display the
error console messages.
Restrict access to the privileged EXEC mode. Configure the protected
password CiscoR1! using the default encryption type.
Configure the unprotected password Cisco123! and ensure it is obfuscated in
the configuration file.

console. Set the console password to Cisco333!.
From PC1, connect to SW1 using Telnet with the password Cisco111!. Which
password did you use to access the privileged EXEC mode on SW1?
Cisco111!
Cisco123!
CiscoAdm1!

When remotely accessing a device, the default console access restrictions require
that privileged EXEC mode access is protected. A configured enable secret always
takes precedence over a configured enable password.
Restrict access to the privileged EXEC mode. Configure the protected

Configure the unprotected password Cisco123! and ensure it is obfuscated in
the configuration file.
Protect the access to the console by requiring a password to access the
console. Set the console password to Cisco333!.
On R1, at the command prompt, issue the exit command as many times as
necessary until you get the "Press RETURN to get started" prompt. Which
password do you have to type to access the USER exec mode?

The enable secret is always stored in a protected fashion in the configuration file.
Cisco IOS Software on routers supports several encryption types. On production
routers, you will most likely find encryption type 8 or type 9. Using the default
encryption type 4, which represents the Secure Hashing Algorithm 2 (SHA-2)
protection, is not recommended due to security risks. Use the show running-config
command to reveal the encryption type used for enable secret.
Restrict access to the privileged EXEC mode. Configure the protected
password CiscoR1! using the default encryption type.
Configure the unprotected password Cisco123! and ensure it is obfuscated in
the configuration file.
Protect the access to the console by requiring a password to access the
console. Set the console password to Cisco333!.
Examine the Device Access table in the Job Aid. There are four users
configured on SW2. The SW2 switch console line access is set to privilege
level 5. Presuming command privileges are set to default, which username
should you use to be able to change the SW2 configuration?
admin
monitor
operator
superadmin
superadmin

By default, Cisco IOS configuration commands require the maximum privilege level,
which is 15. This is the privilege level of the user superadmin.
Restrict access to the privileged EXEC mode. Configure the protected
password CiscoR1! using the default encryption type.
Configure the unprotected password Cisco123! and ensure it is obfuscated in
the configuration file.
Protect the access to the console by requiring a password to access the
console. Set the console password to Cisco333!.
From PC1, connect to SW2 using Telnet and verify the console line
configuration. How long can a user be inactive while still connected to the
console of SW2?
60 minutes and 7 seconds
60 minutes within 7 days
67 minutes
67 seconds
60 minutes and 7 seconds

The exec-timeout command specifies the minutes and seconds that define the
timeout, after which an inactive user is automatically disconnected from the console.
This prevents users from remaining connected to a console port when they leave a
station. Using the exec-timeout 0 0 command disables the timeout; this should not
be used in a production environment because it is not a secure practice.
Restrict access to the privileged EXEC mode. Configure the protected
password CiscoR1! using the default encryption type.
Configure the unprotected password Cisco123! and ensure it is obfuscated in

What does the term per-hop behavior (PHB) signify?
a set of node requirements for compliance with the DiffServ model
a set of packet markings applied to different classes of traffic
a set of techniques for traffic shaping
a set of traffic classes defined in the network
a set of techniques for traffic shaping
-
The term PHB refers to how a node will treat traffic having the same Differentiated
Services Code Point (DSCP) values. The DiffServ model itself does not specify how
PHBs must be implemented. A variety of techniques may be used to implement the
desired traffic conditioning and PHB.
Which three of the following application characteristic values are determined
in the service level specification phase when designing the quality of service
(QoS) policy of a network? (Choose three.)
generated data flows
required bandwidth
required responsiveness
response criticality
tolerable jitter
tolerable packet loss
required bandwidth
tolerable jitter
