Question

Lab Sim - Configure the Firewall Task: Configure the firewall (fill out the table) to allow these four rules: - Only allow the Accounting computer to have HTTPS access to the Administrative server. - Only allow the HR computer to be able to communicate with the Server 2 System over SCP. - Allow the IT computer to have access to both the Administrative Server 1 and Administrative Server 2 Answer: Use the following answer for this simulation task. Below table has all the answers required for this question.

Explanation

The correct firewall rules map each requirement to specific source IPs, destination IPs, ports, and protocols: HTTPS uses TCP port 443, SCP uses TCP port 22, and the IT computer requires two separate rules to reach both Administrative Server 1 and Server 2. Firewall rules must be precise - specifying the exact source, destination, port, and protocol ensures least-privilege access while blocking unintended traffic. Using 'Allow' as the action explicitly permits only the defined traffic, while an implicit deny handles everything else.
