Which of the following IPSec characteristics is different when a connection is operating in tunnel mode instead of transport mode? (Choose all that apply.)
- A.
The order of the fields in the ESP header
- B.
The location of the ESP header in the datagram
- C.
The location of the ESP trailer in the datagram
- D.
The value of the Next Header field in the ESP header
Correct Answer(s)
B. The location of the ESP header in the datagram
D. The value of the Next Header field in the ESP headerExplanation
In tunnel mode, the ESP header is inserted between the original IP header and the rest of the original datagram, thereby changing the location of the ESP header in the datagram. Additionally, the value of the Next Header field in the ESP header is changed to reflect the protocol of the original IP header. The order of the fields in the ESP header and the location of the ESP trailer in the datagram remain the same in both tunnel and transport modes.Rate this question:

Which of the following procedures should you use to secure the WAN traffic between the users in the company headquarters and the R&D database servers? Choose all that apply.)
- A.
Configure the routers at both ends of the WAN connection to use IPSec in tunnel mode
- B.
Configure the database servers with the Secure Server (Require Security) policy
- C.
Configure the workstations of the users at the headquarters with the Client (Respond Only) policy
- D.
Configure the database servers and the workstations at the headquarters to use IPSec in tunnel mode
Correct Answer(s)
B. Configure the database servers with the Secure Server (Require Security) policy
C. Configure the workstations of the users at the headquarters with the Client (Respond Only) policyExplanation
To secure the WAN traffic between the users in the company headquarters and the R&D database servers, the correct procedures to use are configuring the database servers with the Secure Server (Require Security) policy and configuring the workstations of the users at the headquarters with the Client (Respond Only) policy. These policies ensure that the database servers and workstations are configured to enforce security measures and respond to security requests, respectively. This helps in protecting the data and communication between the users and the servers. Configuring the routers with IPSec in tunnel mode is not necessary in this scenario as the question specifically asks for procedures to secure the traffic between the users and the servers, not the routers.Rate this question:
