2V0-21.23 Question 283
Single answerAn administrator is configuring Lockdown Mode on an ESXi host to enhance security. The administrator wants to ensure that only users with specific privileges can access the host directly through the local console (DCUI). Which Lockdown Mode configuration should the administrator choose?
- A
Disabled Lockdown Mode
- B
Normal Lockdown Mode
- C
Strict Lockdown Mode
- D
Custom Lockdown Mode
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Normal Lockdown Mode is the appropriate choice when the administrator wants to enhance host security but still allow direct access through the DCUI for users with specific privileges. Strict Lockdown Mode would completely disable DCUI access, while Disabled Lockdown Mode would not provide any security enhancements.
- A. Incorrect.
Disabled Lockdown Mode allows unrestricted access to the ESXi host and does not enforce any restrictions, defeating the purpose of enhancing security.
- B. Correct.
Normal Lockdown Mode allows access through the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) for privileged users, meeting the administrator's requirement to allow specific users to access the host directly.
- C. Incorrect.
Strict Lockdown Mode completely disables access to the DCUI, which does not meet the requirement of allowing specific users to access the host directly.
- D. Incorrect.
Custom Lockdown Mode is not a valid configuration option for Lockdown Mode in ESXi.
