Essentials Exam - Question 16


Users on the trusted network cannot browse Internet websites. Based on the configuration shown in this image, what could be the problem with this policy configuration? (Select one.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The default Outgoing policy, which typically allows all outgoing packets including DNS queries, has been removed. Without DNS traffic being allowed, domain names cannot be resolved to IP addresses, which prevents users from browsing Internet websites. Therefore, the lack of a policy to allow DNS traffic is the main issue with the current configuration.

The default outgoing policy allows all outgoing packets, including DNS. If this policy is removed, DNS packets are not allowed, so there is no resolution and therefore no browsing!

What does DNS have to do with the Outgoing policy?

No DNS = No IP translations and no IP translations = No Browsing

A. The default Outgoing policy has been removed and there is no policy to allow DNS traffic. Default policy name "Outgoing" Allow all TCP and UDP and it's covered DNS HTTP HTTPS also.
