The real reason candidates miss Network+

It is not the hardening idea. It is the first fix that removes the risk.

Network+ questions often give you three partial mitigations and one action that actually removes the root weakness. The exam tests whether you choose the clean fix first. AnyCert trains that pattern.

N10-009 security scenarioCorrect answer marked

During a security review you find Telnet enabled on several routers. What is the most appropriate first action to harden these devices?

A.

Implement multi-factor authentication for all Telnet users.

MFA adds friction, but it leaves the clear-text protocol in place.

B.

Configure an access control list to restrict Telnet access to specific IP addresses.

ACLs reduce exposure, but the management session is still Telnet and still unencrypted.

C.

Disable Telnet and enable SSH.

SSH removes the insecure protocol and replaces it with encrypted remote management.

D.

Update the Telnet server software to the latest version.

Patching a weak protocol is not the same as removing the root weakness.

The pattern

Network+ loves answers that all look more secure than the current state. Only one removes the actual problem. The bank drills the difference between a partial mitigation and the right fix.

Sample questions

See the question bank in context.

Every answer review is built to explain the correct choice, the trap answer, and the next study move.

Networking FundamentalsCorrect: C

Thousands of IoT sensors will send small, periodic status updates. Which transport‑layer protocol provides the lowest overhead for this traffic?

A. TCP

B. FTP

C. UDP

D. HTTP

UDP is connectionless and adds no handshaking or reliability overhead, making it ideal for lightweight, periodic sensor data where occasional loss is acceptable.

Network ImplementationsCorrect: C

A company is deploying a WPA2-Enterprise wireless network that must allow mobile devices to roam quickly between access points without performing a full 802.1X authentication each time. Which IEEE standard provides this fast, secure roaming capability?

802. 11r Fast BSS Transition (FT) pre‑authenticates devices and establishes security associations before handoff, eliminating the need for full 802.

Network OperationsCorrect: B

During a security audit you find several devices still using factory default credentials. What is the first action you should take to remediate this risk?

Changing every default password to a unique, complex one immediately removes the most exploitable weakness before any additional controls are added.

Your plan

Map the work to your exam date.

Most Network+ prep sprawls across notes and labs. AnyCert compresses it into a focused 3-4 week path and keeps the next session obvious.

We’ll route you into a plan sized to the days you actually have — 7-day urgent, 14-day standard, or 4+ weeks.

AI tutor

Ask why while the question is still fresh.

The tutor keeps the current question, your answer, and the correct explanation in view so follow-up questions stay grounded.

  • Question-aware. It answers from the question you just reviewed.
  • Momentum-safe. You can ask the next question without leaving practice.
  • Exam-oriented. It explains the reasoning pattern, not just the fact.

Question 44 - Network Security

Telnet is enabled on routers. What should you do first to harden them?

Your answer: Restrict Telnet with an ACL.

Correct: Disable Telnet and enable SSH.

Why is the ACL not enough if only admins can reach the routers?

Because Telnet is still clear text. An ACL limits who can connect, but it does not protect the session itself. The first hardening move is to remove the insecure protocol.

So what does Network+ usually want in questions like this?

The control that fixes the root issue, not the add-on that makes a bad setup slightly less bad.
