Which two statements define the mechanism for console access of the Guest Operating System from the Cisco IR829 router? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AThe Guest OS can be accessed by default on Telnet port 2070 from the Cisco IR829 console.
• BThe Guest OS console is available directly by the AUX port 3362 from the Cisco IR829 router.
• CThe Guest OS can be accessed directly using the console port on the Cisco IR829 router.
• DThe Guest OS can be accessed by initiating SSH from the Cisco IR829 console.
• EThe Guest OS console is available only when a static IP is configured on the host.

• A
  92% (34)
• C
  5% (2)
• E
  3% (1)

Explanation

Options A and D are correct because Cisco IR829's Guest OS console is accessible through the IOS CLI itself - not through any physical port. Specifically, you can reach it by Telnetting to port 2070 on the loopback/local interface from within IOS, or by initiating an SSH session to the Guest OS from the IOS console. Both methods tunnel through IOS to reach the Guest OS.

B is wrong because the AUX port on Cisco routers is reserved for out-of-band modem/dial-in access to IOS - it has no role in Guest OS console connectivity, and port 3362 is fabricated.

C is wrong because the physical console port connects you to IOS (the host router OS), not directly to the Guest OS - you must be inside IOS first, then launch the connection.

E is wrong because console access is a local/in-band mechanism through IOS and does not depend on IP address configuration at all.

Memory tip: Think of the Guest OS as "behind" IOS - you always enter through IOS first, then reach the Guest OS via Telnet (port 2070) or SSH. The two correct answers (A and D) are both initiated from the IOS console, which is the key pattern to remember.
