CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 483

A web developer installs and launches a new external web server. Immediately following the launch, the performance of all traffic traversing the firewall degrades substantially. Which of the following considerations was overlooked?

Answer options

• A. OS compatibility
• B. Quality of service
• C. 32- vs. 64-bit architecture
• D. Storage requirements

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, is crucial because quality of service (QoS) settings can prioritize traffic and ensure optimal performance. If QoS was not configured properly, it could lead to degraded performance. The other options, while important, do not directly impact the immediate performance degradation observed in traffic through the firewall.
