Essentials Exam - Question 58


Which tool can add an IP address for the Firebox to permanently block? (Select one)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

To permanently block an IP address on a Firebox, the appropriate tool to use is the FireBox System Manager's Blocked Sites list. This tool allows the network administrator to specify the IP address or range of addresses to block, ensuring they are permanently blacklisted and all connections from that network are denied. Other tools like the Log Server, FireWatch, Subscription services, Authentication list, and Traffic Monitor do not provide the functionality required to add IP addresses for permanent blocking.

The correct answer is B. Add Blocked Sites list in FSM also has to specify the expiration. B is true only if that Firebox has Dimension command feature and is configured to be managed by Dimension. So when logon to Dimension, go to Security Dashboard menu, when click on an item on "Top blocked client" or "Top blocked destination". Instead of drilling into that IP, there will be a dialog comes up with an option "Add to block site list" without expiration option. So B is the correct answer (by Dimension command feature).
