Topic #: 10

Review the Screenshot:

Given the network diagram, traffic must be permitted for SSH and MYSQL from the DMZ to the SERVER zones, crossing two firewalls. In addition, traffic should be permitted from the

SERVER zone to the DMZ on SSH only.

Which rule group enables the required traffic?

AOption A

BOption B

COption C

DOption D

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Option B enables the required traffic by allowing SSL and web-browsing from UNTRUST to DMZ, denying SSH from UNTRUST to DMZ, allowing MYSQL from DMZ to SERVER, and allowing SSH from SERVER to DMZ. Option A allows SSH from UNTRUST to DMZ, which is not required. Option C denies all the required traffic.Option D denies all traffic from UNTRUST to TRUST, which is irrelevant to the question

Hold up, I'm not so sure. Option A also seems to have the required rules, and it's a bit more straightforward. Maybe we should double-check that one as well?

I agree, Option C looks like the best fit. The rule group in that option includes the necessary permissions for SSH and MySQL between the DMZ and Server zones, as well as the SSH permission from the Server zone to the DMZ.

Okay, let's take a closer look. The problem statement says we need to permit SSH and MySQL traffic from the DMZ to the Server zones, and SSH traffic from the Server zone to the DMZ. Based on that, I think Option C might be the correct answer.

Alright, Option C it is then. Let's go with that choice.

Option D doesn't mention anything about allowing SSH traffic from Server zones to DMZ, so I still think Option C is the most suitable.

I think Option D might also work, it allows SSH and MYSQL traffic from DMZ to Server zones as well.

That's true. Option C seems to be the best choice considering both requirements.

Option A only allows SSH and MYSQL traffic from the DMZ to the Server zones, there is no mention of SSH traffic from Server zones to DMZ.

But what about Option A? It also allows SSH and MYSQL traffic from DMZ to Server zones.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. The question is asking about the rule group that enables the required traffic, but the network diagram and the problem statement don't give us a lot of details to work with. I'm a bit unsure about the correct answer.
