CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 361

Which of the following technologies allows network traffic to come into the network on a certain port and go to a destination server with a different port?

Answer options

• A. Spanning port
• B. Port forwarding
• C. Port mirroring
• D. Port tagging

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Port forwarding is the correct answer because it allows traffic to be redirected from one port to another, facilitating communication with different services. Spanning port, port mirroring, and port tagging do not perform this function; they relate to network traffic monitoring and VLAN tagging, not redirection of traffic to different ports.
