Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 854 discussion

This option is correct because placing the web server in a perimeter network (also known as a DMZ) ensures that external users can access the web server without being able to access internal network resources. This method separates the web server from the internal network and provides an additional layer of security. B. Connect the web server to the WAN is incorrect because this exposes the server directly to the internet without any protection, leaving it vulnerable to attacks. C. Connect the server directly to a second port on the cable modem is incorrect because it also exposes the server to external traffic without any security controls or isolation from internal resources. D. Block incoming port 80 and port 443 traffic to the server is incorrect because these ports are necessary for HTTP and HTTPS traffic. Blocking these ports would prevent the web server from being accessible to outside users entirely.
