What information must an IPS track in order to detect attacks matching a composite signature?
Answer
  • the total number of packets in the attack
  • the attacking period used by the attacker
  • the network bandwidth consumed by all packets
  • the state of packets related to the attack

Question 2

Answer
  • All traffic that is permitted by the ACL is subject to inspection by the IPS
  • A named ACL determines the traffic to be inspected
  • All traffic that is denied by the ACL is subject to inspection by the IPS

  • policy-based detection
  • pattern-based detection
  • anomaly-based detection

Question 7

Question
Which statement is true about an atomic alert that is generated by an IPS?
Answer
  • It is an alert that is used only when a logging attack has begun
  • It is a single alert sent for multiple occurrences of the same signature
  • It is an alert that is generated every time a specific signature has been found
  • It is both a normal alarm and a summary alarm being sent simultaneously at set intervals

Question 8

Answer
  • true negative
  • false positive
  • false negative
  • true positive

Question 9

Question
A security specialist configures an IPS so that it will generate an alert when an attack is first detected.

Answer
  • composite alert
  • atomic alert
  • correlation alert
  • summary alert

Question 10

Question
In configuring a Cisco router to prepare for IPS and VPN features, a network administrator opens the file realm-cisco.pub.key.txt, and copies and pastes the contents to the router at the global configuration prompt. What is the result after this configuration step?
Answer
  • The router is authenticated with the Cisco secure IPS resource web server
  • A pair of public/secret keys is created for IPsec VPN operation
  • A crypto key is created for IOS IPS to verify the master signature file

Answer
  • The signatures in all categories will be compiled into memory and used by the IPS
  • The signatures in all categories will be retired and not be used by the IPS
  • Only the signatures in the ios_ips basic category will be compiled into memory and used by the IPS
  • The signatures in the ios_ips basic category will be retired and the remaining signatures will be compiled into memory and used by the IPS

Question 13

Question
A network administrator is configuring an IOS IPS with the command R1(config)# ip ips signature-definition Which configuration task can be achieved with this command?
Answer
  • Retire or unretire the ios_ips basic signature category
  • Retire or unretire an individual signature
  • Retire or unretire the all signature category
  • Retire or unretire the all atomic signatures category

Question 14

Question
What are two disadvantages of using an IDS? (Choose two.)
Answer
  • The IDS analyzes actual forwarded packets
  • The IDS does not stop malicious traffic
  • The IDS has no impact on traffic
  • The IDS works offline using copies of network traffic
  • The IDS requires other devices to respond to attacks

Question 15

Question
What are two shared characteristics of the IDS and the IPS? (Choose two.)
Answer
  • Both use signatures to detect malicious traffic
  • Both analyze copies of network traffic
  • Both have minimal impact on network performance
  • Both rely on an additional network device to respond to malicious traffic
  • Both are deployed as sensors
