A security technician is configuring a new firewall appliance for a production environment. The firewall must support secure web services for client workstations on the 10.10.10.0/24 network. The same client workstations are configured to contact a server at 192.168.1.15/24 for domain name resolution. Which of the following rules should the technician add to the firewall to allow this connectivity for the client workstations? (Choose two.)

  • A. Permit 10.10.10.0/24 0.0.0.0 ג€"p tcp --dport 22
  • B. Permit 10.10.10.0/24 0.0.0.0 ג€"p tcp --dport 80
  • C. Permit 10.10.10.0/24 192.168.1.15/24 ג€"p udp --dport 21
  • D. Permit 10.10.10.0/24 0.0.0.0 ג€"p tcp --dport 443
  • E. Permit 10.10.10.0/24 192.168.1.15/24 ג€"p tcp --dport 53

Should be DF. DNS by default is running in UDP port 53

I agree: DF is a better answer. TCP/53 is usually used for DNS zone transfer, not for DNS request.

D and E because, DNSSEC uses TCP 53 port for communication and "Secure webs services" run on port 443 HTTPS.

Port 53 TCP is for zone transfers. Port 53 UDP is for queries and resolution. My choice is D and F

My screen still shows D and E!! They change it back? Read here "Furthermore, most organizations have also used firewalls to block TCP port 53 to and from their DNS servers and the Internet. This is double-protection in case the DNS server accidentally allowed transfers. Configuring your DNS servers to permit zone transfers to only legitimate DNS servers has always been and continues to be a best practice. However, the practice of denying TCP port 53 to and from DNS servers is starting to cause some problems. There are two good reasons that we would want to allow both TCP and UDP port 53 connections to our DNS servers. One is DNSSEC and the second is IPv6." FROM https://www.networkworld.com/article/2231682/cisco-subnet-allow-both-tcp-and-udp-port-53-to-your-dns-servers.html Maybe this is a new 601 question....things are changing....it could also be that it mentions internal DNS, not facing the net, so in that case they could allow for tcp, so long as they have all access from the internet blocked off....another stupid question without all the info to make a decision

Yeah seems like another incorrect answer. It should be DF. DNSSEC uses TCP 53 as packets can be larger than 512 bytes; which is the limit for UDP.
