    38.
    Which statement describes the use of certificate classes in the PKI?
    A class 5 certificate is more trustworthy than a class 4 certificate. (Correct answer)
    Email security is provided by the vendor, not by a certificate.
    The lower the class number, the more trusted the certificate.

    Hashes are never sent in plain text.
    It is easy to generate data with the same CRC.
    It is virtually impossible for two different sets of data to calculate the same hash output. (Correct answer)
    Hashing always uses a 128-bit digest, whereas a CRC can be variable length.

    53. Refer to the exhibit. The network administrator is configuring the port security feature on switch SWC. The administrator issued the command show port-security interface fa 0/2 to verify the configuration. What can be concluded from the output that is shown? (Choose three.)

    That user access is limited to vty terminal lines.

    What is the purpose of a local username database if multiple ACS servers are configured to provide authentication services?

    Clients using internet services are authenticated by ACS servers, whereas local clients are authenticated through a local username database.
    Each ACS server must be configured with a local username database in order to provide authentication services.
    A local username database is required when creating a method list for the default login.
    A local username database provides redundancy if ACS servers become unreachable. (Correct answer)

    ** other questions with exhibit**

    17. Refer to the exhibit. The administrator can ping the S0/0/1 interface of RouterB but is unable to gain Telnet access to the router by using the password cisco123. What is a possible cause of the problem?
    The Telnet connection between RouterA and RouterB is not working correctly.
    The password cisco123 is wrong. (Correct answer)
    The administrator does not have enough rights on the PC that is being used.
    The enable password and the Telnet password need to be the same.

    Only signatures in the ios_ips basic category will be compiled into memory for scanning. (Correct answer)

    1. I don’t think the question number 23 is correct. Or do have some specific reason why only inside to DMZ traffic is filtered? To me it looks more like multiple choice answer, i. e.:

      32. Which type of traffic is subject to filtering on an ASA 5505 device?

      public Internet to inside (Correct answer)
      public Internet to DMZ (Correct answer)
      inside to DMZ.
      DMZ to inside (Correct answer)

      1. so far we didn’t noticed this is multiple choice answers. we’ll monitor this question and wait for confirmation. Thanks btw.

  7. Hi,

    are you sure that these are the final questions and answers?

    because then i could to research for myself to get the 100% right answers, i have access to the netacademy (like every one has)

    g

    1. Hi,
      So far our friend Adef get 98% correct.. I have updated the questions and answer. Maybe because question 19. Please confirm. Thank you

      1. Hi,

        i did the test today and i got 99.2% correct, my personalized feedback:
        Domain Knowledge – Binary Score: 98.3%
        Secure Routing and Switching – 94.1%
        The rest is 100% each.

        These are a few more answers:

        64. What is indicated by the use of the local-case keyword in a local AAA authentication configuration command sequence?

        That AAA is enabled globally on the router.
        That passwords and usernames are case-sensitive. (correct answer)
        That a default local database AAA authentication is applied to all lines.
        That user access is limited to vty terminal lines.

        66. Refer to the exhibit. Based on the security levels of the interfaces on ASA1, what traffic will be allowed on the interfaces? [Similar with Question 27]

          Configure Telnet.
          Configure SSH. (correct answer)
          Configure an ACL and apply it to the VTY lines.

          And if so I don’t see it updated above.

          1. Hi Mike. Thanks for noticing. i missed on this. Normally i would reply to comment once updated. Thank you

  8. i also had passed the practical exam, and the topology is the following:

    You have to configure:
    – basic security settings, like SSH and AAA (on all devices)
    – STP, Portfast, BPDUguard, Loop guard
    – ZPF
    – Basic Security on ASA using CLI, including:
    — default route
    — network object with subnet 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 and nat(inside, outside)

    Site 2 Site VPN on R3 using CLI and on ASA using ASDM

    I configured everything, my only mistakes where
    – default route on asa (wrong IP address..)
    – network object, because i didnt use the “subnet” command
    – Site 2 Site VPN couldnt establish a tunnel

    but i still got 92 out of 100 points, so its very very easy to pass

  9. I think this is a new question as this popped out for me and apparently this guide still needs some revamping as aside from this new question, 2 more questions were wrong for me.

    Qn: What provides both secure segmentation and threat defense in a Secure Data Center solution?

    Cisco Security Manager software

    AAA server

    Adaptive Security Appliance

    intrusion prevention system

    1. Thanks for the new question Chris. As mentioned in this post, the answer is still not yet 100% correct. But it will helps you pass the exam. Thus, if u encounter any wrong answers, let us know which question so we can have review on the question. TQ

  10. i have got 93.3 for the exam and i did it yesterday. there were 2 new questions.i will post it next week. bcoz i forgot to bring the screen shots.

  11. hello, thank you for all what you do
    i think there is a mistake in question 33
    Which IDS/IPS signature alarm will look for packets that are destined to or from a particular port?
    the correct answer is : anomaly based , not signature based

    you can verify in the Chapter 5.2.2.3 – Anomaly-Based Detection

    1. “In most cases, the pattern is matched against only if the suspect packet is associated with a particular service or, more precisely, destined to and from a particular port.”
      That’s for Signature-based. Anomaly-based is for anything that defies the normal pattern.

  12. Excuse me, but i’m pretty sure that the Answer for the Question 20 is :
    asymmetric algorithms

    The asymmetric algorithm (like RSA) is used to exchange a shared secret key used by symmetric (like DES) algo.

    1. but did you fully understand the question?
      What type of algorithms require sender and receiver to exchange a secret key that is used to ensure the confidentiality of messages?

      only the symmetric (original answer) require a pre-exchange of the key.
      so the original answer is correct.

  13. New question popped up on my exam, i got 97,5% with the answers on this website.
    Which two features should be configured on end-user ports in order to prevent STP manipulation attacks? ( Choose two.)

    root guard

    UDLD

    BPDU guard

    loop guard

    PortFast

  14. This one was new:
    Which procedure is recommended to mitigate the chances of ARP spoofing?

    Enable DHCP snooping on selected VLANs.
    Enable IP Source Guard on trusted ports.
    Enable DAI on the management VLAN.
    Enable port security globally.

  15. Two new Questions:

    1. Which network security tool allows an administrator to test and detect weak passwords?

    L0phtcrack

    Tripwire

    Nessus

    Metasploit

    2. What is an advantage of logging packets that are seen by an IPS device?

    Packets from the IP address that triggered the logging are denied once logging begins.

    Administrators can decide what actions can be taken in the future.

    Administrators can use the brief summary that is generated to quickly determine how to handle the packets.

    Attacker packets can be stopped immediately.

  16. Hey I pass the exam with 94,1 with all the updates that you have put. Where could get the certificate exam? Thanks invialgo

  17. NEW QUESTION FOUND TODAY April 8th
    *Which statement describes a characteristic of the Security Device
    Event Exchange (SDEE) feature supported by the Cisco IOS IPS?*
    a. SDEE notification is disabled by default. It does not receive and process events from the Cisco IOS IPS unless SDEE notification is enabled.
    b. SDEE notification is enabled by default. It receives and processes events from the Cisco IOS IPS and sends them to a syslog server.
    c. SDEE notification is enabled by default. It receives and processes events from the Cisco IOS IPS and stores them in a buffer.

    d)They are responsible for some of the most destructive internet attacks.

    I find that in NetAcad(Chap 1.2.3.2).
    Is correct to resolv this question ?

    “Most viruses are now spread by USB memory drives, CDs, DVDs, network shares, and email. Email viruses are now the most common type of virus.”

    1. Thank you Guille. I guess the answer is correct. we’ll see what others say. Question and answer updated

  19. NEW QUESTION

    ASA. The technician generates a ping from an inside host to an outside host. Which
    command verifies that addresses are being translated on the ASA?

    show ip nat translation

    show running-config

    show xlate

    show ip address

  21. answer for 72 is SDEE notification is disabled by default. It does not receive and process events from the Cisco IOS IPS unless SDEE notification is enabled.

  22. I just want to thank you for all these questions and answers. i had exam 2 days ago and got 87% by memorising this answers. i wouldn’t have done it without you. i have had fallen behind my course and this helped me finished it. thank you very much !

  23. Hi InviAlgo, I have exam next week i tried doing the practice test and i couldn’t find any answer from anywhere,they are all different. Now i am scared if the final exam is going to be same. Are the final exams are same in every country and can i rely on these questions here.

    1. yes. it is valid as of today. unless u are the most unlucky person on earth get new set of questions. if that is the case, do copy the question for us. TQ

  24. What are three components of a technical security policy? (Choose three.)

  26. 48. Fill in the blank.

    A stateful signature is also known as a signature.

    Were is the blank? If it’s here

    A stateful signature is also known as a ______signature.

    I think the answer would be “Composite”

  27. Took the test last night and scored 95% using these questions. There were 60 total questions on the exam, two that didn’t count towards the score. I used all 80 questions here as a study guide. Most of the questions on my exam were within the first 60 on this list. My overall score for the class was 97.34%. I would also suggest compiling the individual labs into the optional comprehensive lab and use it as a guide for the lab final. This allowed me and my lab partner to score 99.5% on the lab final as well. Good Luck to all!

  28. There was also a new question on which switch in a spanning tree network is the root bridge? I don’t recall all of the answers, but none of them seemed right. I think the potential answers were; lowest IP address, MAC address, highest priority or VLAN ID. I picked highest priority, but I guess VLAN ID or IP address could be the answer depending on how the network is constructed.

  29. On what switch ports should BPDU guard be enabled to enhance STP stability?

    only ports that attach to a neighboring switch

    all PortFast-enabled ports Correct

    all trunk ports that are not root ports

  36. Hello,

    I passed today the final, I just want to say that the questions are still the same

    Good luck,

    Just Someone who wants to help 🙂

  37. Question 85 is wrong! Confirmed by CCNA Security 2.0 Practice Final – Item Feedback
    85. Which two types of hackers are typically classified as grey hat hackers? (Choose two.)
    [ ] script kiddies
    [*] vulnerability brokers
    [ ] cyber criminals
    [ ] state-sponsored hackers
    [*] hacktivists

  38. Question 83 is wrong aswel! Also confirmed by CCNA Security 2.0 Practice Final – Item Feedback
    A company deploys a hub-and-spoke VPN topology where the security appliance is the hub and the remote VPN networks are the spokes. Which VPN method should be used in order for one spoke to communicate with another spoke through the single public interface of the security appliance?
    [ ] GRE
    [ ] MPLS
    [ ] split tunneling
    [X] hairpinning

    — INFO
    Hairpinning allows VPN traffic received on a single interface to be routed back out that same interface.
    Split tunneling allows traffic that originates from a remote-access client to be split according to whether the traffic must cross a VPN or the traffic is destined for the public Internet.
    MPLS and GRE are two types of Layer 3 VPNs.

  39. 85. Which two types of hackers are typically classified as grey hat hackers? (Choose two.)

    The answer should be hacktivists and vulnerability brokers.

    I had the question on the practice exam and these options were marked as the correct result.

  43. Hello!

    Sorry, but I ask again

    I found exam Cisco Security 210-260 questions from Internet (hundreds of questions)

    Is this Security 210-260 exam different from Netacad.com Security 2 final-exam

    I have Netacad.com Security v2 Final exam soon, and I wonder if it is enough to study questions on your site, or should I study all 210-260 questions

    Please answer me 🙂

    br Anne

    1. This here should be enough.
      I am not shure what did you find, but it could be certification exam.
      The questions are different.

  44. new question in the test;

    What STP stability mechanism should be used to help prevent the placement of a rouge switches on a network?

    Root guard
    BPDU guard
    Port fast
    Loop Guard

  45. Hey there! Thank you very much for this, I passed today with 99.2%. Only wrong answer was Question 41:

    Which two actions are permitted to the user ADMIN? (Choose two.)

    The user can execute all subcommands under the show ip interfaces command.
    The user can issue the show version command. (is right I think)
    The user can only execute the subcommands under the show ip route command. (seems wrong)
    The user can issue all commands because this privilege level can execute all Cisco IOS commands.
    The user can issue the ip route command.

    They also added one new question (paraphrasing here):
    What is used to determine the root bridge when the priority of the switches are the same?
    the MAC address with the highest hexadecimal value
    the lowest ip address
    the layer 2 address with the lowest hexadecimal value (<- Right)
    the highest BID

    1. Thanks for your feedback schub. i removed the wrong answer first. new question added. Hope anyone here can provide the exact question. it seems to be similar to Q88

  46. Hi,

    regarding Q41:

    Answers are :
    The user can execute all subcommands under the show ip interfaces command.
    and

    The user can issue the show version command.

    I did the test on a switch .

    The user can issue the ip route command -> this one is wrong because you don’t have access o the “conf t” command
    The user can only execute the subcommands under the show ip route command -> This one is wrong because you have access to all command under show and show ip and show ip route .
    The user can issue all commands because this privilege level can execute all Cisco IOS commands -> this is wrong because only level 15 give full access.

    med

  47. Hi guy,

    Passed today ( 23/3/2017) 100%

    For Q41 my answers were good.
    There is one new question about summary alerts :
    The question was something like that :
    A a single alert that indicates multiple occurrences of the same signature from the same source address and or port is called ****** alerts.
    The answer is summary.
    Good luck and thank very very much Invialgo .

  48. Which security implementation will provide management plane protection for a network device?

    access control lists
    antispoofing
    routing protocol authentication

    *role-based access control*

    Management plane processes typically use protocols such as Telnet and SSH. Role-based access control ensures that only authorized users have management privileges. ACLs perform packet filtering and antispoofing functions on the data plane to secure packets generated by users. Routing protocol authentication on the control plane ensures that a router does not accept false routing updates from neighbor routers.

  57. Hi Invialgo
    Are these questions still valid for 2017 as i see the thread started early 2016?

  58. Hi Invialgo
    Are these questions still valid for May/June 2017 as I see the thread started in early 2016?

  59. Hi,
    just a quick question, once the online multiple choice is completed for CCNAS V2 we do the second part which is the packet tracer activity. Is the final packet tracer activity in the exam different for most people? So will i be able to find configs online for the Hands On Skill exam?

    thanks in advance

    1. Hi Jay, at the end of the post, there is one title “practical question”. is it the same as yours?

  60. The following authentication configuration is applied to a router.

    aaa authentication login default tacacs+ local enable none

    Several days later the TACACS+ server goes off-line. Which method will be used to authenticate users?

    none***

    manually configured vty line password

    local username/password database

    default

  61. Hi, this was a great help for me. I did the exam on 14/06/2017. I scored 100%. There was no new question for me.

  62. A security technician is evaluating a new operations security proposal designed to limit access to all servers. What is an advantage of using network security testing to evaluate the new proposal?

    Network security testing proactively evaluates the effectiveness of the proposal before any real threat occurs.

    Network security testing is most effective when deploying new security proposals.

    Network security testing is specifically designed to evaluate administrative tasks involving server and workstation access.

    Network security testing is simple because it requires just one test to evaluate the new proposal.

      1. 68. A security awareness session is best suited for which topic?
        correct answer:
        how to install and maintain virus protection

        in book 11.2.5.2

  63. I’m doing my exam within 5 days, are these questions still the questions for the ‘CCNA Security: Implementing Network Security (Version 2.0) – CCNAS Final Exam’ exam?

  64. Hi guys. I just wanted to share my experience with you – I’ve done the final course test yesterday and I can confirm that all the questions are 100% legitimate. I’ve had 56 questions, all of them were from the list above. I just wanted to let everyone that is still to take that test know that they can use your resources and be successful. Last but not least, I want to thank to everyone that has contributed!

  65. Hey there.
    Just wanted to say that I took the final exam about a week ago, and all the questions are listed here.
    Got 58 questions from the questions above, all correct answers, got 100%.
    Thanks InviAlgo and all contributors for this great help.

    Best Regards.

  66. New flavor of question 3:

    Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator configures AAA authentication on router R1. The ACS servers are configured and running. The administrator tests the configuration by telneting to R1. What will happen if the administrator attempts to authenticate through the RADIUS server using incorrect login credentials?

    The enable secret password could be used in the next login attempt.
    The authentication process stops. [correct]
    The username and password of the local user database could be used in the next login attempt.
    The enable secret password and a random username could be used in the next login attempt.

  67. On which port should Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) be configured on a switch?
    * any untrusted port

    See 6.2.6.4:
    “As shown in Figure 2, DHCP snooping is enabled because DAI requires the DHCP snooping table to operate. Next, DHCP snooping and ARP inspection are enabled for the PCs on VLAN10. The uplink port to the router is trusted, and therefore, is configured as trusted for DHCP snooping and ARP inspection.”

  68. I just passed the CCNA security final exam and i wanted to thank you for all that has been posted.
    I graded 98.3%, and there is a question that need to be modified

    15. On which port should Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) be configured on a switch?

    an uplink port to another switch -> correct answer
    on any port where DHCP snooping is disabled
    any untrusted port (wrong)
    access ports only

    The correct answer for question 93 is:
    local username/password database (checked with my Cisco instructor)

    1. Hi Shinigami, good to hear that. Thanks for your correction on Q15 and 93. We have update it. Appreciate your effort

  69. Refer to the exhibit. The administrator can ping the S0/0/1 interface of RouterB but is unable to gain Telnet access to the router by using the password cisco123. What is a possible cause of the problem?

    Answer – The Administrator has used the wrong password

    1. Thanks for your answer. we do not found this answer options in the original question. But since the answer similar to the original answer, we have update it as alternate answer. we believe the answer option may be change to new phrase. TQ
