JN0-102 · Question #377

Click the Exhibit button. A customer reports that they have recently lost connectivity to a remote site over a shared architecture. Referring to the exhibit, what is the problem?

The correct answer is C. The authentication method or key has been changed. The exhibit likely shows log messages or error outputs indicating authentication failures for a VPN or tunnel connection, suggesting a mismatch in authentication credentials.

Question

Click the Exhibit button. A customer reports that they have recently lost connectivity to a remote site over a shared architecture. Referring to the exhibit, what is the problem?

Why each option

The exhibit likely shows log messages or error outputs indicating authentication failures for a VPN or tunnel connection, suggesting a mismatch in authentication credentials.

AThe remote link is down.

A "remote link down" typically presents as an interface status of 'down' or 'administratively down', which is distinct from authentication failures.

BThe remote router has been powered off.

If a remote router is powered off, there would be no IKE negotiation attempts or authentication failures, rather a lack of any response or a 'destination unreachable' error.

CThe authentication method or key has been changed.Correct

Based on the problem statement "lost connectivity over a shared architecture" and the correct answer, the exhibit most likely displays log messages or error outputs such as "IKE negotiation failed" or "Authentication failed," which explicitly indicate an issue with mismatched authentication methods or keys for a VPN or tunnel setup.

DThe remote site router has been configured for OSPF.

Configuring OSPF on a remote site router would typically cause routing issues, but not specifically authentication failures related to a shared architecture, which usually implies a VPN or secure tunnel.
