CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 637

A network technician is configuring a new web server at the company office. The network manager has instructed the technician to implement it in such a way so it is isolated from the local network and still able to be reached from an external network. Which of the following BEST describes where the technician should set up the new server?

Answer options

• A. Private VLAN
• B. IDF
• C. DMZ
• D. Native VLAN

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, DMZ, as it allows servers to be accessible from the external network while keeping them isolated from the internal network for security purposes. A Private VLAN (A) is used for isolating devices within the same network segment, IDF (B) refers to Intermediate Distribution Frame which is not relevant for isolation, and Native VLAN (D) pertains to trunking and does not provide the necessary isolation and accessibility required in this scenario.
