CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 763
A technician is working on a solution to isolate traffic between specific types of devices, servers, and users on the internal firewall. Which of the following traffic flows should be isolated?
Answer options
- A. East-west
- B. Access/edge
- C. Core/distribution
- D. North-south
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A, East-west traffic, which refers to data exchanges within the same data center or network segment, and isolating this traffic increases security and control. The other options, such as Access/edge, Core/distribution, and North-south, pertain to different types of traffic flows that do not specifically address the need for isolation between devices and users within the same internal network.
