IBM Security Access Manager V9.0 Deployment — Question 57

A customer's IBM Security Access Manager V9.0 deployment consists of reverse proxy appliances situated in the DMZ and primary master and secondary master appliances situated in the internal corporate network.
Which port and direction of the network traffic flow is required to support cluster services between the appliances situated in the DMZ and the internal corporate network segment?

Answer options

• A. Port 22; Bidirectional
• B. Port 22; Unidirectional
• C. Port 2020; Bidirectional
• D. Port 2020; Unidirectional

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as Port 22 is used for secure communication via SSH, and the traffic must flow in a unidirectional manner from the internal network to the DMZ for cluster services to function properly. Options A and C are incorrect because they suggest bidirectional traffic, which is not required, while D is incorrect due to the wrong port number.
