Which of the following sets of commands would meet this requirement?
A. line vty 0 6 P@s5W0Rd password line vty 7 Qwer++!Y password
B. line console 0 password password line vty 0 4 password P@s5W0Rd
C. line vty 0 3 password Qwer++!Y line vty 4 password P@s5W0Rd
D. line vty 0 3 password Qwer++!Y line console 0 password P@s5W0Rd
Answer: C
Explanation:
The VTY lines are the Virtual Terminal lines of the router, used solely to control inbound Telnet connections. They are virtual, in the sense that they are a function of software – there is no hardware associated with them.
Two numbers follow the keyword VTY because there is more than one VTY line for router access. The default number of lines is five on many Cisco routers. Here, I’m configuring one password for all terminal (VTY) lines. I can specify the actual terminal or VTY line numbers as a range. The syntax that you’ll see most often, vty 0 4, covers all five terminal access lines.

Many social engineering intruders needing physical access to a site will use this method of gaining entry. Educate users to beware of this and other social engineering ploys and prevent them from happening.
QUESTION 200
Which of the following is a security concern regarding users bringing personally-owned devices that they connect to the corporate network?
A. Cross-platform compatibility issues between personal devices and server-based applications
B. Lack of controls in place to ensure that the devices have the latest system patches and signature files
C. Non-corporate devices are more difficult to locate when a user is terminated
D. Non-purchased or leased equipment may cause failure during the audits of company-owned assets
Answer: B
Explanation:
With employees who want to bring their own devices you will have to make them understand why they cannot. You do not want them plugging in a flash drive, let alone a camera, smartphone, tablet computer, or other device, on which company fi les could get intermingled with personal files. Allowing this to happen can create situations where data can leave the building that shouldn’t as well as introduce malware to the system. Employees should not sync unauthorized smartphones to their work systems. Some smartphones use multiple wireless spectrums and unwittingly open up the possibility for an attacker in the parking lot to gain access through the phone to the internal network. Thus if you do not have controls in place then your network is definitely at risk.
