Question

A security technician is configuring a new firewall appliance for a production environment. The firewall must support secure web services for client workstations on the 10.10.10.0/24 network. The same client workstations are configured to contact a server at 192.168.1.15/24 for domain name resolution.

Required:
What rules should the technician add to the firewall to allow this connectivity for the client workstations

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided in the question, the best rules that the technician should add to the firewall would be the following

Permit 10.10.10.0/24 0.0.0.0 -p tcp --dport 443

Permit 10.10.10.0/24 192.168.1.15/24 -p udp --dport 53

This is because port 443 is used for "Secure webs services" while UDP port 53 is used for queries and domain name resolution. Both of which are the main configurations that the security technician needs to obtain.
