300-730 Question #65: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B: same-security-traffic permit intra-interface. Two AnyConnect clients connected to the same ASA outside interface cannot communicate with each other by default because the ASA blocks intra-interface traffic, requiring the 'same-security-traffic permit intra-interface' command.

Question

Refer to the exhibit. Client 1 cannot communicate with client 2. Both clients are using Cisco AnyConnect and have established a successful SSL VPN connection to the hub ASA. Which command on the ASA is missing?

Options

  • Adns-server value 10.1.1.2
  • Bsame-security-traffic permit intra-interface
  • Csame-security-traffic permit inter-interface
  • Ddns-server value 10.1.1.3

Explanation

Two AnyConnect clients connected to the same ASA outside interface cannot communicate with each other by default because the ASA blocks intra-interface traffic, requiring the 'same-security-traffic permit intra-interface' command.

Common mistakes.

  • A. Configuring a DNS server address of 10.1.1.2 affects name resolution for VPN clients but does not resolve the Layer 3 packet forwarding restriction that prevents client-to-client communication.
  • C. The 'same-security-traffic permit inter-interface' command allows traffic between two different interfaces that share the same security level, which is unrelated to the intra-interface hairpin issue affecting both clients on the same outside interface.
  • D. Adding a DNS server value of 10.1.1.3 addresses name resolution configuration, not the ASA's default behavior of blocking traffic that enters and exits the same interface.

Concept tested. ASA intra-interface hairpinning for AnyConnect client-to-client traffic
