NSE 7 – Network Security Architect — Question 24

An administrator has configured a dial-up IPsec VPN with one phase 2, extended authentication (XAuth) and IKE mode configuration. The administrator has also enabled the IKE real time debug: diagnose debug application ike-1 diagnose debug enable
In which order is each step and phase displayed in the debug output each time a new dial-up user is connecting to the VPN?

Answer options

• A. Phase1; IKE mode configuration; XAuth; phase 2.
• B. Phase1; XAuth; IKE mode configuration; phase2.
• C. Phase1; XAuth; phase 2; IKE mode configuration.
• D. Phase1; IKE mode configuration; phase 2; XAuth.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the debugging output will first show Phase 1 establishing the connection, followed by the user authentication via XAuth, then the IKE mode configuration, and finally Phase 2. The other options misplace the order of these critical steps in the dial-up connection process.
