CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 332

A server administrator deploys a new web server with an IP address of 192.168.16.100. The security policy dictates that all non-secure connection methods should be blocked. Which of the following security rules will satisfy the request without prohibiting other traffic?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it specifically denies HTTP traffic (port 80) to the web server IP address without blocking other types of traffic, thus adhering to the security policy. Options A and B either deny too much traffic or do not specifically target the insecure connections. Option D permits HTTP traffic, which contradicts the requirement to block insecure methods, and option E allows all types of connections, failing to enforce the security policy.
