Edge Router Security

Which security approach involves creating zones with varying levels of security, allowing for the placement of resources based on their need for protection?

Which of the following areas is NOT a primary focus of router security?

Which aspect is NOT considered a task for securing administrative access?

What is a key recommendation for creating strong passwords?

Which password would be considered the strongest based on the guidelines?

Which command is used to enter an unencrypted password when configuring a secret password algorithm?

What privilege level is reserved for enable mode privileges?

Which mode does privilege level 1 grant access to?

What is a major limitation of privilege levels on a router?

What is the primary function of a syslog server?

Which syslog severity level indicates that the system is unusable?

In a syslog message format, what does the facility field denote?

What is the primary purpose of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)?

In SNMP, what is the role of an 'agent'?

Which of the following is a critical step in implementing SNMP?

Which SNMP version provides the most robust security features?

What security feature is unique to SNMPv3?

In the context of SNMP, what is the purpose of configuring an Access Control List (ACL)?

Which command is used to configure an SNMP view that restricts access to certain parts of the device's MIB tree?

Imagine you need to configure a highly secure SNMPv3 setup, but the legacy system you're integrating with only supports SHA1 for authentication and DES for privacy. Which configuration, while suboptimal, would represent the BEST compromise given these strict limitations?

A single router approach to network security includes multiple firewalls and intrusion detection systems for comprehensive defense.

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is synonymous with a high-security area where sensitive military operations are conducted.

Physical security, router operating system, and routing hardening are the four key areas of router security.

Restricting device accessibility is not considered a task of secure administrative access.

A strong password should be based on easily identifiable information, such as your pet's name or birthday.

It is recommended to write passwords down and keep them in a safe place.

Using enable algorithm-type command, it's impossible to use an encrypted password.

Privilege level 15 on a router is the default level for login with the router prompt.

You can completely disable a command on a router using the reset command within the privilege level configuration.

Privileged EXEC mode (privilege level 15) is more restricted compared to User EXEC mode (privilege level 1).

Commands set at lower privilege levels cannot be executed at higher privilege levels.

A syslog server's primary function is to actively control network traffic by filtering packets based on defined rules.

In a syslog message, the 'facility' field indicates the severity of the message.

The sequence number appears in a syslog message only if service timestamps global configuration command is configured.

SNMP is an internet standard protocol mainly for modifying information to change device behavior.

A network can have multiple SNMP Managers to oversee different segments of the network.

Setting 'Traps rules' in SNMP determines when a message will be sent to the agent.

SNMPv1 includes secure access to network devices by authenticating and encrypting packets.

In SNMP, the 'set' action, used by the manager, can change the configuration of an agent and does not present any security vulnerabilities.

In configuring SNMPv3, the ip access-list standard command is used to define SNMP views, specifying which parts of the MIB can be accessed by the SNMP group.
