220-1102 Practice Question: A technician is scheduled to apply security…
This 220-1102 practice question tests your understanding of a technician is scheduled to apply 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 scheduled to apply security patches to a server during a maintenance window. The change was approved as a standard change. Midway through the patching, the technician discovers that one of the patches is causing a critical line-of-business application to fail. 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 applying all remaining patches as planned
Continuing would likely worsen the situation by applying more patches that could cause further compatibility issues. The issue must be addressed first.
B
Best answer
Consult the change plan for rollback procedures
Standard changes include a backout plan. The technician should follow that plan to revert the problematic patch and restore the application's functionality.
C
Distractor review
Immediately inform all users of the outage
User notification is important but should come after the technician has stabilized the situation. The first step is to consult the change plan.
D
Distractor review
Reboot the server and hope the application recovers
Rebooting without a plan may cause additional downtime or data loss. The change plan should guide the next steps.
Answer analysis
Why the other options are wrong
Understanding why incorrect options are tempting is as important as knowing the correct answer.

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: Consult the change plan for rollback procedures — When an unexpected issue arises during an approved change, the technician should immediately consult the change plan, which includes predefined backout or rollback procedures. This ensures actions are documented and approved, minimizing downtime and risk.
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.
