CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 160

After segmenting the network, the network manager wants to control the traffic between the segments. Which of the following should the manager use to control the network traffic?

Answer options

• A. A DMZ
• B. A VPN
• C. A VLAN
• D. An ACL

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, An ACL (Access Control List), because it is specifically designed to filter and control the traffic between network segments. Options A (DMZ) and B (VPN) serve different purposes related to security and remote access, while C (VLAN) is about segmenting the network but does not control traffic flow by itself.
