CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 267

A systems administrator deployed a new web application in a public cloud and would like to test it, but the company’s network firewall is only allowing outside connections to the cloud provider network using TCP port 22. While waiting for the network administrator to open the required ports, which of the following actions should the systems administrator take to test the new application? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Create an IPSec tunnel.
• B. Create a VPN tunnel.
• C. Open a browser using the default gateway IP address.
• D. Open a browser using the localhost IP address.
• E. Create a GRE tunnel.
• F. Create a SSH tunnel.

Correct answer: B, F

Explanation

The correct answers are B and F. A VPN tunnel (B) allows secure access to the cloud application by routing traffic through an encrypted tunnel, while an SSH tunnel (F) can be used to securely forward local ports to the remote server. The other options either do not provide the necessary secure access (A, C, D, E) or are not relevant to the situation at hand.
