Show Answer
Correct Answer:

The most restrictive, yet fully functional, rule to allow general Internet and SSH traffic into both the DMZ and Untrust/Internet zones from each of the IOT/Guest and Trust Zones is option B. Option A restricts access to specific destination subnets, which may not be sufficient for general Internet access since the destination addresses are too strictly defined. Option C incorrectly assigns source and destination addresses which do not correspond to their respective zones. Option D contains an incorrect source address for the IOT/Guest zone. Option B is the correct answer because it appropriately includes rules to allow SSH, SSL, and web-browsing traffic, with the source zones being IOT/Guest and Trust, and the destination zones being DMZ and Untrust, without over-specifying the destination addresses.

The answer is B. A is incorrect - no internet access, DST addresses are too strictly definedd; C is incorrect - SRC and DST addresses do not correspond to Zones; D is incorrect - the SRC address does not match the SRC zone.

B is the correct answer. You need to allow traffic to any destination for internet access.

The answer is A because the question is asking for the most restrictive means to access the DMZ and untrust zones from the Guest and Trust zones. In answer A, the rule restricts access to the destination IP address subnet ranges of the DMZ and Untrust zone destination addresses, whereas answer B pretty much says you can connect to any address in the DMZ and Untrust subnets. A is the correct answer.
