Forescout FSCP Exam - Topic 3 Question 1 Discussion

Actual exam question for Forescout's FSCP exam
Question #: 1
Topic #: 3
[All FSCP Questions]

When using the "Assign to VLAN action," why might it be useful to have a policy to record the original VLAN?

Select one:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

According to theForescout Switch Plugin documentation, the correct answer is:'Since CounterACT reads the running config to find the original VLAN, any changes to switch running configs could overwrite this VLAN information'.

Why Recording Original VLAN is Important:

According to the documentation:

When CounterACT assigns an endpoint to a quarantine VLAN:

Reading Original VLAN- CounterACT reads the switch running configuration to determine the original VLAN

Temporary Change- The endpoint is moved to the quarantine VLAN

Restoration Issue- If network administrators save configuration changes to the running config, CounterACT's reference to the original VLAN may be overwritten

Solution- Recording the original VLAN in a policy ensures you have a backup reference

Why Option D is the Most Accurate:

Option D states the key issue clearly: 'any changes to switch running configs could overwrite this VLAN information.' This is the most comprehensive and accurate statement because it acknowledges that ANY changes (not just those by administrators specifically) could cause the issue.

Wait, can changes really overwrite that info?

Haha, who even uses CounterACT these days? I bet the developers are still stuck in the 90s.

A) Since CounterACT reads the startup config to find the original VLAN, network administrators making changes to switch running configs could overwrite this VLAN information. I'm not sure why this would be useful though.

D) Since CounterACT reads the running config to find the original VLAN, any changes to switch running configs could overwrite this VLAN information. This seems like the most comprehensive answer.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think B is wrong because it mentions saving changes, which doesn't seem to fit the context of VLAN recording.

I feel like D could be correct since it covers any changes to the running config, but I need to double-check the specifics about how CounterACT reads the configs.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about startup vs. running config. Maybe it's A since it talks about the startup config?

I think the answer might be C because it mentions changes to the running config, which seems relevant to how VLANs are managed.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key is understanding that changes to the running config could overwrite the original VLAN info that CounterACT is reading.

I'm pretty confident in my understanding of this. The correct answer is C, since CounterACT reads the running config and network admins making changes to that could overwrite the VLAN info.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between the startup config and the running config. I'll need to review that before answering.
