HPE6-A45 Exam - Question 98


Refer to the exhibits:

Exhibit 1 -

Exhibit 2 -

A network administrator at a university notices high utilization on links between the access layer and core. The output shown in the exhibit is characteristic of samples taken several times an hour during congestion. The administrator suspects file sharing and other unauthorized traffic, and decides to use an ACL to permit only HTTP, HTTPS, and a few other authorized types of traffic.

How can the administrator apply the ACL to address both the security and the congestion problem?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

The ACL can be most effective if applied as an inbound VACL (VLAN Access Control List) on the student VLAN on Switch-1. Applying the VACL at this point ensures that traffic is filtered early, right at the distribution layer before it can cause congestion on the access layer links. It also centralizes control and management of the ACL, which can simplify configuration and troubleshooting.
