Question 311 · 504 in bank
An engineer deploys a new Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch in an existing environment with strict security policies. The new device should meet these requirements: • Secure end-user ports with minimum configuration effort. • Log security breaches and require manual recovery. • Retain the switch configuration if the device restarts. Which configuration must be used?
Show answer
Answer: A
Explanation
A. If port security is enabled, the default settings on a Nexus 5000 switch are: The maximum number of MAC addresses allowed per port is 1. The violation action is set to "shutdown", which means that the port will be disabled if a violation occurs. The violation mode is set to "restrict", which means that traffic from the violating MAC address is dropped and a syslog message is generated, but the port remains enabled. Sticky secure MAC addresses – like Dynamic secure MAC addresses, MACs are learned dynamically but are saved in the running configuration.
