CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 536

A NGFW is continuously sending alerts regarding traffic from an internal database server. An old DHCP service, which was used before a dedicated server was installed, is still running on the server. Which of the following practices could have prevented this incident?

Answer options

• A. Preventing UDP on the host firewall
• B. Enabling DHCP relay
• C. Disabling unused services
• D. Disabling DHCP spoofing

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because disabling unused services helps to reduce potential attack vectors and resource conflicts. In this case, the old DHCP service was unnecessary and could have been turned off to prevent alerts and security risks. The other options do not address the issue of an unused service running on the server.
