220-1102 Practice Question: A technician is deploying a critical security…

This 220-1102 practice question tests your understanding of a technician is deploying a critical security…. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

A technician is deploying a critical security patch to all company workstations. The patch has been approved by the Change Advisory Board (CAB) and tested in a lab environment. During the rollout, the technician discovers that several older workstations are not compatible with the patch and the installation fails. According to change management best practices, what should the technician do FIRST?

A technician is deploying a critical security patch to all company workstations. The patch has been approved by the Change Advisory Board (CAB) and tested in a lab environment. During the rollout, the technician discovers that several older workstations are not compatible with the patch and the installation fails. According to change management best practices, what should the technician do FIRST?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

Continue the deployment on the compatible workstations and skip the incompatible ones.

This approach bypasses the change management process; the CAB should be informed and decide on any deviations from the plan.

B

Distractor review

Revert the change completely and submit a new change request for the incompatible workstations.

Reverting may be necessary, but the first step is to report the issue to the CAB so they can decide on the appropriate action, which may include a partial backout.

C

Best answer

Stop the deployment and report the issue to the CAB for guidance.

Stopping and promptly reporting the issue to the CAB is the correct first step. The CAB will assess the situation and determine the next steps, such as modifying the change or initiating a backout plan.

D

Distractor review

Proceed with the deployment and attempt to manually fix the incompatible workstations.

Making unapproved changes during deployment violates change management policies. The technician should not attempt fixes without CAB authorization.

Answer analysis

Why the other options are wrong

Understanding why incorrect options are tempting is as important as knowing the correct answer.

  • Continue the deployment on the compatible workstations and skip the incompatible ones.

    This approach bypasses the change management process; the CAB should be informed and decide on any deviations from the plan.

  • Revert the change completely and submit a new change request for the incompatible workstations.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic

NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
  • PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
  • Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
  • NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.

TExam Day Tips

  • Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
  • Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
  • Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

Key takeaway

NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this 220-1102 question test?

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Stop the deployment and report the issue to the CAB for guidance. — According to change management best practices, if an unexpected issue arises during deployment (such as incompatibility), the technician should stop the deployment immediately and report the issue to the CAB. The CAB can then assess the situation, decide on a course of action (e.g., a backout plan or an emergency change), and authorize further steps. Continuing despite the failure could lead to system instability or security gaps. Skipping workstations without documentation violates change control. Attempting to fix the workstations without approval bypasses the established process.

What should I do if I get this 220-1102 question wrong?

Review the four NAT address types (inside local, inside global, outside local, outside global), PAT port overload, and static vs dynamic NAT use cases. Then practise related 220-1102 NAT questions on configuration and troubleshooting.
