Explanation
A technician is setting up a home network with many devices and needs a firewall setting to minimize configuration effort.
Common mistakes.
- B. MAC filtering restricts network access to specific devices based on their MAC addresses, which would increase configuration effort as each device's MAC address would need to be manually added.
- C. DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) exposes a device completely to the internet, creating a significant security risk, and it is not a general solution for minimal configuration of all devices.
- D. QoS (Quality of Service) prioritizes specific network traffic, which optimizes performance but does not simplify the initial connectivity or configuration for multiple devices.
