CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 156

A new device has been installed on a wired network and can be accessed via the LAN but cannot be accessed remotely. Which of the following is the most likely cause?

Answer options

• A. Firewall settings
• B. Improper switch configuration
• C. Incorrect IP address
• D. Misconfigured access point

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The most likely cause of the device being inaccessible remotely is the Firewall settings, which can block external access. The other options, such as improper switch configuration, incorrect IP address, or misconfigured access point, would generally not prevent remote access while still allowing local LAN access.
