350-701 Leak Questions

NTP uses UDP port 123 to communicate with its servers and peers. If the Cisco ASA has IP reachability to the NTP server and is not filtering any traffic, then the most likely cause of the unsynchronized state and the stratum of 16 is that the NTP server is not working properly or is not configured to provide NTP service. A stratum of 16 means that the NTP server is unreachable or is not considered a viable candidate1. The value.INIT. in the refid column indicates that NTP is initializing, and the server has not yet been reached1. To resolve this issue, the network engineer should verify the status and configuration of the NTP server, and use a different server if needed. Alternatively, the network engineer can use the ntp server command with the prefer keyword to specify a preferred NTP server, or use the ntp update-calendar command to force a resynchronization of NTP2. References:

The process in DevSecOps where all changes in the central code repository are merged and synchronized is called Continuous Integration (CI). CI is a practice that aims to improve the quality and speed of software development by automating the building, testing, and integration of code changes. CI enables developers to collaborate more effectively and detect errors early in the development cycle. CI also helps to ensure that the code in the repository is always in a deployable state and conforms to the security and quality standards123. References: 1: Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) course, Module 5: Secure Network Access, Identity Management, and Visibility, Lesson 5.1: Introducing DevSecOps 2: DevSecOps code process - AT&T4 3: Building a DevSecOps Culture - from a Technical Perspective5

The exhibit shows an access rule for URL filtering that has the following conditions:

• The action is Block
• The URL category is Botnets
• The URL reputation is 3
• The URL list is empty

This means that the rule will block any URL that matches the category and reputation criteria, regardless of the individual URL. According to the Cisco documentation1, the URL reputation is a score from 1 to 5 that indicates the risk level of a URL, where 1 is the most risky and 5 is the least risky. Therefore, a reputation score of 3 means a moderate risk level. The rule will not block URLs for botnets with reputation scores of 1, 2, 4, or 5, nor will it block any other URL category or list. The rule will also not allow any URL, as the action is Block, not Allow.

Dual-SSID BYOD is the term for when an endpoint is associated to a provisioning WLAN that is shared with guest access, and the same guest portal is used as the BYOD portal. This flow is a unique capability of ISE where the user does not have to log in twice, as ISE can take the user information from the 802.1X session and direct the user to the BYOD flow. Once the endpoint is onboarded, it is reconnected to the secured WLAN for full network access. This flow is different from single-SSID BYOD, where the endpoint associates to a secure WLAN, gets onboarded, and then reconnects to the same WLAN12. References: 1: ISE BYOD: Dual vs. Single SSID Onboarding - Cisco Community 2: Cisco ISE BYOD Prescriptive Deployment Guide - Cisco Community
