Which network firewall primarily filters traffic based on source and destination IP address?
A stateless firewall primarily filters traffic based on static criteria such as source and destination IP addresses, port numbers, and protocols. It does not monitor the state of active connections and is only concerned with the header information of each individual packet.
Stateless firewalls examine network traffic based on static criteria such as source and destination IP addresses, port numbers, and protocols.
I think it should be: C. Stateless because stateful will also rely on the session information
(pg. 58) They inspect individual packet headers to determine source and destination IP address, protocol (TCP, UDP, and ICMP), and port number (during session establishment only) to determine whether the session should be allowed, blocked, or dropped based on configured firewall rules.
