SG0-001 · Question #196

A technician wants to allow remote access to a NAS device. Which of the following network topologies would BEST allow the remote access, while providing for the HIGHEST level of security?

The correct answer is C. VLAN. To provide remote access to a NAS device with the highest level of security, a VLAN would be the best network topology choice by segmenting the network.

Why each option

To provide remote access to a NAS device with the highest level of security, a VLAN would be the best network topology choice by segmenting the network.

AVSAN

VSAN (Virtual Storage Area Network) is a Fibre Channel technology for SAN segmentation, not an IP networking topology for remote access to a NAS.

BLAN

LAN (Local Area Network) describes a general network, but a flat LAN does not offer the same level of granular security segmentation as a VLAN.

CVLANCorrect

A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows for the logical isolation of network devices into separate broadcast domains, even within the same physical network. By placing the NAS device in its own VLAN, access can be strictly controlled and routed through security devices like firewalls or VPNs, thereby enhancing security by limiting its exposure to the rest of the network and ensuring remote access is highly protected.

DMAN

MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) connects networks across a city, which is about geographical scale, not about providing specific security segmentation for a single device like a VLAN.
