JNCIA-SEC: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Security (2021) — Question 66

A security zone is configured with the source IP address 192.168.0.12/255.255.0.255 wildcard match.
In this scenario, which two IP packets will match the criteria? (Choose two.)

Answer options

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The wildcard mask 255.255.0.255 indicates that the last octet can vary, meaning any IP address that matches the first three octets (192.168.0) and has a last octet of 12 will match. Therefore, 192.168.1.12 (C) matches because it shares the first three octets, and 192.168.22.12 (D) also matches for the same reason. Options A and B do not match because their first three octets differ from the specified address.
