1. Why is local database authentication preferred over a password

It specifies a different password for each line or port.

It provides for authentication and accountability.

It requires a login and password combination on console, vty lines, and aux ports.

It is more efficient for users who only need to enter a password to gain entry to a
device.

2. What is a characteristic of AAA?

Authorization can only be implemented after a user is authenticated.

Accounting services are implemented prior to authenticating a user.

Accounting services determine which resources the user can access and which
operations the user is allowed to perform.

Authorization records what the user does, including what is accessed, the amount
of time the resource is accessed, and any changes

requires use of the console, vty, or tty ports.

Character mode provides users with administrative privilege EXEC access and

Packet mode provides users with administrative privilege EXEC access and

Packet mode provides remote users with access to network resources and requires
use of dialup or VPN.


5. Which two statements describe AAA authentication?

Due to implemented security controls, a user can only access a server with FTP.
based AAA authentication is more scalable than local AAA authentication.

Local AAA is ideal for large complex networks because it uses the local database
of the router for authentication.

Server-based AAA authentication can use the RADIUS or TACACS+ protocols to
communicate between the router and a AAA server.

Server-based AAA authentication is ideal for large complex networks
uses the local database of the router for authentication.

Local AAA authentication requires the services of an external server, such as the
Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server.

authentication for authenticating administrator access?

Local AAA authentication supports encrypted passwords;

Local AAA provides a way to configure backup methods of authentication;
local does not.

10. What is a characteristic of TACACS+?

TACACS+ is an open IETF standard.

TACACS+ is backward compatible with TACACS and XTACACS.

TACACS+ provides authorization of router commands on a per
group basis.

TACACS+ uses UDP port 1645 or 1812 for authentication, and UDP port 1646
or 1813 for accounting

TACACS+ provides extensive accounting capabilities when compared to
RADIUS.

The RADIUS protocol encrypts the entire packet transmission.

The TACACS+ protocol allows for separation of authentication from
authorization.

RADIUS can cause delays by establishing a new TCP session for each
authorization request.

12. In regards to Cisco Secure ACS, what is a client device?

14. When configuring a Cisco Secure ACS, how is the configuration interface accessed?

A Web browser is used to configure a Cisco Secure ACS.

The Cisco Secure ACS can be accessed from the router console.

Telnet can be used to configure a Cisco Secure ACS server after an initial
configuration is complete.

The Cisco Secure ACS can be accessed remotely after installing ACS client
software on the administrator workstation.

15. Which AAA protocol and feature best support a large ISP that needs to implement
detailed accounting for customer invoicing?

TACACS+ because it combines authentication and authorization, but separates
accounting

RADIUS because it supports detailed accounting that is required for billing
users

TACACS+ because it requires select authorization policies to be applied on a
