[All PCNSE Questions]

A new application server 192.168.197.40 has been deployed in the DMZ. There are no public IP addresses available, resulting in the server sharing NAT IP 198.51.100.88 with another DMZ serve that uses IP address 192.168.197.60. Firewall security and NAT rules have been configured. The application team has confirmed that the new server is able to establish a secure connection to an external database with IP address 203.0.113.40.

The database team reports that they are unable to establish a secure connection to 198.51.100.88 from 203.0.113.40. However, it confirms a successful ping test to 198.51.100.88.

Referring to the NAT configuration and traffic logs provided how can the firewall engineer resolve the situation and ensure inbound and outbound connections work concurrently for both DMZ servers?

  • A. Move the NAT rule 6 DMZ server 2 above NAT rule 5 DMZ server 1.
  • B. Replace the two NAT rules with a single rule that has both DMZ servers as "Source Address" both external servers as "Destination Address," and Source Translation remaining as is with bidirectional option enabled.
  • C. Configure separate source NAT and destination NAT rules for the two DMZ servers without using the bidirectional option.
  • D. Sharing a single NAT IP is possible for outbound connectivity not for inbound therefore a new public IP address must be obtained for the new DMZ server and used in the NAT rule 6 DMZ server 2.
