Questions and Answers
- 1.
A host with a public address can initiate a connection to a host with a private NAT address.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
A host with a public address cannot initiate a connection to a host with a private NAT address. This is because private NAT addresses are not routable on the public internet. NAT (Network Address Translation) is a technique used to translate private IP addresses to public IP addresses and vice versa. It allows multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address. However, the translation is one-way, meaning that a host with a private NAT address can initiate a connection to a host with a public address, but not the other way around.Rate this question:

- 2.
Does a box working as a NAT router need to keep record of the state of each connection that passes through it?
- A.
No but it does need to create state tables
- B.
Yes but it doesn't need to create state tables
- C.
Yes and it creates state tables
- D.
No and it doesn't need to create state tables
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Yes and it creates state tablesExplanation
Yes, a box working as a NAT router needs to keep a record of the state of each connection that passes through it. This is because NAT routers perform network address translation, which involves mapping the private IP addresses of devices on a local network to a public IP address. In order to correctly translate the source and destination IP addresses in network packets, the NAT router needs to maintain state information about each connection. This information is stored in state tables, which keep track of the source and destination IP addresses, ports, and other relevant data for each connection.Rate this question:

A layer 3 firewall is a router.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A layer 3 firewall is a router because a router operates at the network layer (layer 3) of the OSI model and is capable of filtering and controlling network traffic based on IP addresses, ports, and protocols. A layer 3 firewall uses these capabilities to enforce security policies by allowing or blocking specific types of traffic between different networks. Therefore, it is correct to say that a layer 3 firewall is a router.Rate this question:
-
- 4.
Can firewall rules be applied only to one of a firewalls interfaces or must they be applied to all of them?
- A.
No it must be applied to all
- B.
Yes it can be applied to only one
- C.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Yes it can be applied to only oneExplanation
Firewall rules can be applied to only one of the firewall's interfaces. This means that it is not necessary to apply the rules to all interfaces. By selectively applying rules to specific interfaces, organizations can have more control over the traffic that enters or leaves a particular interface. This allows for more granular security configurations and helps in protecting specific network segments or devices.Rate this question:
-
- 5.
Different interfaces on a firewall can't have different firewall rules.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
This statement is false because different interfaces on a firewall can indeed have different firewall rules. Firewall rules are typically applied based on the source and destination IP addresses, ports, and protocols. Each interface on a firewall can be configured with its own set of rules to control the traffic that is allowed or denied. This allows for more granular control and customization based on the specific requirements and security policies of each network segment or interface.Rate this question:

What are some examples of information in a datagram that might be used to decide weather to pass or drop a packet?
- A.
Source IP address Destination IP address
- B.
IP protocol (ICMP, TCP or UDP)
- C.
Source TCP or UDP port
- D.
Destination TCP or UDP port
- E.
All of the above
Correct Answer
E. All of the aboveExplanation
The information mentioned in the options - source IP address, destination IP address, IP protocol, source TCP or UDP port, and destination TCP or UDP port - can all be used to make a decision on whether to pass or drop a packet. The source and destination IP addresses help identify the source and destination of the packet, while the IP protocol helps determine the type of protocol being used (ICMP, TCP, or UDP). The source and destination TCP or UDP ports provide additional information about the specific application or service the packet is intended for. Considering all of this information together allows for a more informed decision on whether to allow the packet to pass or drop it.Rate this question:
-
- 7.
The order is not important in firewall rules applied to an interface.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because the order of firewall rules applied to an interface is important. Firewall rules are typically evaluated in a sequential manner, and the order in which they are applied can determine the outcome. If a rule that allows certain traffic is placed before a rule that blocks the same traffic, the traffic will be allowed. However, if the order is reversed, the blocking rule will take precedence and the traffic will be blocked. Thus, the order of firewall rules can significantly impact the effectiveness of the firewall configuration.Rate this question:

What IP protocol does RIP use to exchange information?
- A.
TCP
- B.
ICMP
- C.
ARP
- D.
UDP
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
D. UDPExplanation
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) uses UDP (User Datagram Protocol) to exchange information. UDP is a connectionless protocol that allows for the transmission of data packets without establishing a formal connection between the sender and receiver. RIP utilizes UDP to send routing information updates and exchange routing tables between routers in a network. Unlike TCP, UDP does not provide error checking or reliable delivery of packets, making it suitable for RIP's purpose of exchanging routing information in a less complex and faster manner. ICMP is not the correct answer as it is a different protocol used for network troubleshooting. ARP is also not the correct answer as it is used for mapping IP addresses to MAC addresses.Rate this question:

Does a host running RIP periodically send its entire routing table to its neighbor?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
Yes, a host running RIP periodically sends its entire routing table to its neighbor. This is known as a routing update and it allows the neighbor to have an up-to-date view of the network topology. By sharing the entire routing table, the neighbor can make informed routing decisions and update its own routing table accordingly. This periodic exchange of routing information helps in maintaining a consistent and accurate routing infrastructure throughout the network.Rate this question:
-
- 18.
Does a host running OSPF periodically send its entire routing table to its neighbors?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
A host running OSPF does not periodically send its entire routing table to its neighbors. OSPF routers exchange information about their directly connected networks, known as link-state advertisements (LSAs), rather than sharing their entire routing tables. This allows routers to have a more efficient and scalable way of exchanging routing information. By sharing LSAs, routers can build a complete and accurate representation of the network topology and calculate the best paths to reach different destinations.Rate this question:
