The correct answer is A. Control Plane Protection host subinterface. Cisco Control Plane Protection uses subinterfaces to classify control plane traffic, and the host subinterface specifically handles traffic destined directly to the router's own IP addresses.

Question

The Company XYZ network is experiencing attacks against their router. Which type of Control Plane Protection must be used on the router to protect all control plane IP traffic that is destined directly for one of the router interfaces?

Options

  • AControl Plane Protection host subinterface
  • BControl Plane Protection main interface
  • CControl Plane Protection transit subinterface
  • DControl Plane Protection CEF-exception subinterface

Why each option

Cisco Control Plane Protection uses subinterfaces to classify control plane traffic, and the host subinterface specifically handles traffic destined directly to the router's own IP addresses.

AControl Plane Protection host subinterfaceCorrect

The Control Plane Protection host subinterface processes all IP traffic destined directly to one of the router's own interface addresses, including routing protocol packets, SSH, SNMP, Telnet, and other management plane traffic. Applying a policy here polices and protects the router itself from control plane attacks targeting its interfaces.

BControl Plane Protection main interface

The main interface applies a policy to all aggregated control plane traffic before subinterface classification is performed and is not specific to traffic destined to the router's own interfaces.

CControl Plane Protection transit subinterface

The transit subinterface handles traffic that is being software-switched through the router but is not destined for the router itself, which is the opposite of the scenario described.

DControl Plane Protection CEF-exception subinterface

The CEF-exception subinterface handles packets that cannot be processed by Cisco Express Forwarding such as ARP, ICMP redirects, or IP options packets, not traffic directed at router interfaces.
