Question

Refer to the exhibit. An engineer is enabling command line access via MPLS for in-band management. Which command completes the partial SD-WAN interface configuration with the highest degree of security?

Options

  • Asdwan interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 allow-service sshd
  • Bsdwan interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 allow-service https
  • Csdwan interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 allow-service icmp
  • Dsdwan interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 allow-service all

Why each option

To enable secure command line access for in-band management on an SD-WAN interface, the `allow-service sshd` command should be used.

Asdwan interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 allow-service sshdCorrect

The `allow-service sshd` command enables Secure Shell (SSH) access, which provides secure command-line management for the device over the specified interface and is considered the most secure option for command-line access.

Bsdwan interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 allow-service https

`allow-service https` enables web-based graphical user interface (GUI) access, not command-line access.

Csdwan interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 allow-service icmp

`allow-service icmp` allows Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) for diagnostic purposes like ping, not for command-line management.

Dsdwan interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 allow-service all

`allow-service all` enables all possible services, which significantly reduces the security posture by exposing unnecessary services and increasing the attack surface.
