I think Answer C mentions just one site, not multiple sites. It could be done on a single router with a simple ACL that doesn't allow access to the host that has the software. So, C is right.
How would you do Answer A with a simple firewall system? If you can answer that, then I'll agree with you that A is right, but I bet you can't come up with a simple solution to the problem that needs to be solved in A. And how about Answer B and D? What are your solutions to those problems? And are your solutions simple? This is the sort of thinking that you need for CID. And it is real-world, by the way. Let's say that the people who will be implementing and maintaining the security system are just barely out of school or just recently got their CCNA. There are no software developers or senior network engineers to get the system working. A design requirement and priority in this case is simplicity. Of course, "simplicity" is somewhat subjective, and that is a legitimate complaint about the question. But it's all relative. If test takers actually do the work required to envision actual solutions, they can easily determine which one is simplest. If test takers try to memorize answers or determine answers without much analysis, not only will they find the test frustrating and possibly unpassable, they will suck as network designers, (to be blunt! ;-) Priscilla At 06:24 PM 2/23/02, Russ Kreigh wrote: >I think A would be right, because C would not be a "simple" solution, ex. >they would have to maintain a list of unauthorized sites. > > > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of >Love Cisco >Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 10:16 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Please help me answer this question [7:36295] > > >1.
