The correct answer is C. Enable match vip in the Deny policy. D. Set the Destination address as Web_server in the Deny policy. To deny Remote-user2 access to the Webserver, the administrator must ensure the Deny policy correctly targets the Webserver and handles traffic that may be traversing a Virtual IP.

Firewall Policies

Question

Refer to the exhibit. The exhibit contains a network diagram, firewall policies, and a firewall address object configuration. An administrator created a Deny policy with default settings to deny Webserver access for Remote-user2. Remote-user2 is still able to access Webserver. Which two changes can the administrator make to deny Webserver access for Remote-User2? (Choose two.)

Why each option

To deny Remote-user2 access to the Webserver, the administrator must ensure the Deny policy correctly targets the Webserver and handles traffic that may be traversing a Virtual IP.

ADisable match-vip in the Deny policy.

Disabling `match-vip` would prevent the Deny policy from matching traffic that has been destination-NAT'd by a VIP if the policy's destination is the internal server IP.

BSet the Destination address as Deny_IP in the Allow-access policy.

Changing the destination in the `Allow-access` policy would not fix the `Deny` policy's ineffectiveness and could disrupt other legitimate access.

CEnable match vip in the Deny policy.Correct

Enabling `match-vip` in the Deny policy allows it to match traffic after a Virtual IP (VIP) has performed destination network address translation (DNAT), directing the policy to evaluate the internal Webserver address.

DSet the Destination address as Web_server in the Deny policy.Correct

Setting the destination address of the Deny policy to `Web_server` ensures that the policy specifically targets traffic destined for the Webserver, which is necessary for the denial to be effective.
