PCNSA · Question #118

Which two settings allow you to restrict access to the management interface? (Choose two )

The correct answer is A. enabling the Content-ID filter C. restricting HTTP and telnet using App-ID. Securing the management interface can involve implementing application-level controls and content inspection within security policies that might govern access to the management plane.

Why each option

Securing the management interface can involve implementing application-level controls and content inspection within security policies that might govern access to the management plane.

Aenabling the Content-ID filterCorrect

Enabling the Content-ID filter within a security policy applied to management-bound traffic can detect and prevent the transmission of malicious content or unauthorized data patterns, thereby restricting compromised access attempts.

Badministrative management services

Administrative management services directly control which protocols (e.g., HTTPS, SSH) are enabled on the management interface, offering explicit access restriction.

Crestricting HTTP and telnet using App-IDCorrect

Restricting HTTP and Telnet using App-ID can prevent these specific (often insecure) management applications from being used to access the management interface if traffic to that interface is subject to App-ID-based security policies.

Dpermitted IP addresses

Permitted IP addresses directly specify allowed source IP addresses for management access, providing an explicit and direct method of restriction.
