Selected Answer: A A is the only answer that names a 'Physical' measure to counter-act 'Physical' security vulnerabilities. Make all the passwords you want on all your console ports, but if someone who shouldn't have access reaches one, your 'Physical' security has already failed.

Password can't stop PHYSICAL access to a port as well :)

Selected Answer: B When you have physical access to a console port, a camera won't tap you on the shoulder and stop you from accessing it, a console password however will.

Selected Answer: A Not sure why so many people picked a wrong answer for this kind of simple question. The answer is A

Selected Answer: A "Video surveillance serves two primary purposes. Real-time CCTV monitoring as a detection control may allow a smaller number of security personnel to monitor a much larger area than could be effectively monitored directly. This allows a security force of the same size to secure a much larger area or to secure a smaller area in more detail or with fewer people." Cisco CCNA in 60 Days - Paul Browning (under section heading "Physical Security")

Selected Answer: A Anyone who says B is the answer does not understand Cisco Physical security solutions. the three fold approach of Threat Detection, Threat Monitoring, and Threat Response. IP Cameras are the first action line under the Threat Detection pilar. Additionally continued surveillance via CCTV provided by all camera types including IP cameras is a point from the second pilar Threat Monitoring. Furthermore, as you will see all three B, C, & D are all the same answer only A provides a true Physical Security measure. Take apart A: IP Cam and Infrastructure = physical and physical Take apart B: Passwords and ports = Software and physical Take apart C: syslogs and location = Software and physical Take apart D: passwords and devices = Software and physical

Are these question makers high? What do they even mean by physical security? Physical security means we need to stop access to anyone unauthorized to the server, how is a password helping in that?

Selected Answer: A it could be B if you hired a security officer to stand next to switch, and you gotta tell him the the secret word of the day hhhhhhhh. A

Selected Answer: A it cant be B because physical access control prevents unauthorised people physical access to network gear. an attacker that manages to plug a cable into the console port has already breached the physical security measures, even if there is a console password configured on a device

A - physical access control (detective control) B - Authentication (AAA) C - Availability (CIA) D - Authentication (AAA)

Selected Answer: A Physical access control: Infrastructure locations, such as network closets and data centers, should stay securely locked. Badge access to sensitive locations is a scalable solution, offering an audit trail of identities and timestamps when access is granted. Administrators can control access on a granular basis and quickly remove access when an employee is dismissed. (Official-Cert-Guide-Volume-2)

Selected Answer: A Configuring a password for the console port is tied to device access security, not physical access control.

B Is the answer: A camera will not 'Physical' measure to counter-act 'Physical' security vulnerabilities but pass-wording the console port will stop the intruder. You have to be physically present for console port password to counter the act.

Selected Answer: A I believe it's A. Options B & C are almost the same since we are using passwords to access the network devices. Using passwords or any authentication procedure is part of the logical Access control, not the Physical one. https://www.avigilon.com/blog/physical-access-control

Selected Answer: A 'Physical access control is a type of security system that authorizes or prevents access to physical space. Physical access control ensures that only authorized people can enter a building or a specific area. Physical access control can use physical barriers such as locks, turnstiles, fences, or technological devices such as authentication cards, keypads, biometrics. Among the four actions presented in the question, the one that implements physical access control is the following: A. setting up IP cameras to monitor key infrastructure’

You made me laugh in the middle of my boring study session hahahah

Anything that involves logging into a computer, router, switch to type/click/configure in the CLI or GUI is Logical Access Control. Biometrics, Fences, walls, gates, Turnstiles, motion sensors, contact sensors, Surveillance cameras, ID badges, etc. are all examples of Physical Access Controls.

Selected Answer: B A is not access control.

Answer is B, A is a Monitoring. not a Physical access control.

A is not correct, this will not "stop" physical activity, just monitor B is correct. It stops physical entry into the systems via the console port

Relying on your logic, what will stop you from rebooting the switch in recover mode and bypassing the config by ignoring the startup config. so you now copy the startup config to running config and take off the enable password...
