Professional Cloud Network Engineer Exam - Question 66


You have created a firewall with rules that only allow traffic over HTTP, HTTPS, and SSH ports. While testing, you specifically try to reach the server over multiple ports and protocols; however, you do not see any denied connections in the firewall logs. You want to resolve the issue.

What should you do?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BD

To resolve the issue of not seeing denied connections in the firewall logs, you should create an explicit Deny Any rule and enable logging on this new rule. By default, many firewalls have an implicit deny rule that might not generate logs unless explicitly specified. Creating an explicit rule also allows for detailed logging and monitoring, ensuring that denied connections are logged properly.

Correct Answer is (D): Firewall Rules Logging has the following specifications: You can only enable Firewall Rules Logging for rules in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network. Legacy networks are not supported. Firewall Rules Logging only records TCP and UDP connections. Although you can create a firewall rule applicable to other protocols, you cannot log their connections. You cannot enable Firewall Rules Logging for the implied deny ingress and implied allow egress rules. Log entries are written from the perspective of virtual machine (VM) instances. Log entries are only created if a firewall rule has logging enabled and if the rule applies to traffic sent to or from the VM. Entries are created according to the connection logging limits on a best effort basis. The number of connections that can be logged in a given interval is based on the machine type. Changes to firewall rules can be viewed in VPC audit logs. https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/firewall-rules-logging#specifications
