350-401 Question #76: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Refer to the exhibit. Which privilege level is assigned to VTY users?

Options

• A1
• B7
• C13
• D15

Explanation

Explanation

Option A (privilege level 1) is correct because when a VTY line is configured with the login local command and no explicit privilege level command is specified, users are assigned the default privilege level of 1, which grants only basic user EXEC mode access. Without seeing the exhibit, this is a standard Cisco IOS behavior - unless a higher privilege is explicitly configured using privilege level [number] on the VTY lines, level 1 is always the default.

Options B (7) and C (13) are incorrect because these are mid-range privilege levels that must be explicitly configured and are not defaults; they are typically used in custom role-based access control setups. Option D (15) is incorrect because privilege level 15 grants full privileged EXEC (enable) access and would only apply if the command privilege level 15 were explicitly set on the VTY lines, which the exhibit does not show.

Memory Tip: Think of it as a "least privilege by default" rule - Cisco always starts VTY users at the lowest functional level (1) unless you explicitly elevate them. If you don't see privilege level X on the VTY config, the answer is almost always 1.
