350-701 Network Security Practice Question
An engineer is configuring a Cisco AnyConnect SSL VPN for remote access. Which TWO features are commonly used to control access based on endpoint security posture?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Posture assessment (e.g., AnyConnect Posture module)
Dynamic Access Policy (DAP) allows access control based on endpoint attributes. Posture assessment checks for compliance. Group policies provide general VPN parameters but not posture-based dynamically.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
IPsec transform set
Why it's wrong here
Transform set is for IPsec VPNs.
- ✓
Posture assessment (e.g., AnyConnect Posture module)
Why this is correct
Posture assessment checks endpoint compliance.
- ✗
Group policy
Why it's wrong here
Group policy sets VPN parameters, not dynamic posture.
- ✗
Crypto map
Why it's wrong here
Crypto map is for site-to-site VPN.
- ✓
Dynamic Access Policy (DAP)
Why this is correct
DAP evaluates endpoint attributes for access decisions.
Quick reference
VPN Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Port | Encryption | Authentication | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IKEv2 / IPsec | UDP 500 / 4500 | AES-256 | Certificates / PSK | Site-to-site & remote access |
| SSL / TLS VPN | TCP 443 | TLS 1.3 | Certificates / MFA | Clientless remote access |
| L2TP / IPsec | UDP 1701 | AES (IPsec) | PSK / Certificates | Legacy remote access |
| WireGuard | UDP 51820 | ChaCha20 | Public keys | Modern high-performance VPN |
| PPTP | TCP 1723 | MPPE (weak) | MS-CHAPv2 | Legacy — avoid in production |
PPTP is considered insecure. IKEv2/IPsec and SSL VPN are the current recommended options.
