CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 422

Ann, a network engineer, wants to use FTP to back up and push configurations to several switches she is updating. Ann starts the FTP service on her PC and places the new configuration in the correct directory. However, she cannot communicate with the PC using FTP from the switch. Which of the following must Ann do to allow FTP communications?

Answer options

• A. Create a static DNS entry on the server for the PC
• B. Change her NIC IP address to dynamic
• C. Create a new exception on her local firewall
• D. Make sure the PC's IP is in the management VLAN

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a firewall may block FTP communications, and creating a new exception will allow the necessary traffic through. Options A and D are irrelevant to the FTP connection issue, while option B does not address the need for FTP communication at all.
