CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 43

A network administrator is attempting to access the firewall while inside the datacenter. Which of the following peripherals must be connected to do so?

Answer options

• A. KVM
• B. Touchpad
• C. Mouse
• D. Keyboard

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, the KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch, as it allows multiple computers to be controlled from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse setup. The other options, while they can be used for input, do not provide the necessary video output or multi-device switching that a KVM does, making them unsuitable for accessing the firewall.
