A network administrator connects two switches with a trunk link. PCs on VLAN 10 connected to switch A can communicate with each other, but they cannot reach a server on VLAN 20 connected to switch B. The server's IP address is correctly configured. What is the most likely cause?

The router is not configured to route between VLAN 10 and VLAN 20

The switch A MAC address table is full

The server is not connected to the correct switch port

A company has a firewall that is placed between the internet and its internal network. The firewall is configured to allow inbound HTTPS to a web server on the internal network. The web server is also used for internal employees. The company wants to add a second web server for redundancy and distribute traffic between the two servers. The security team wants to ensure that the firewall does not become a bottleneck. Which design should be used?

Use a switch with VLANs to separate the web servers

Place the load balancer in front of the firewall

Place a load balancer in front of the web servers and keep the firewall in front of the load balancer

Use two firewalls in parallel with a load balancer in front of them

An e-commerce company runs a web application on three identical servers. To handle increasing traffic and ensure high availability, they want to distribute incoming HTTP requests evenly across the servers. Which component should be deployed in front of the servers?

A router with a static route to one server

A load balancer configured with a round-robin algorithm

A firewall with a deny-all rule

A switch has a MAC address table that maps MAC addresses to ports. An attacker sends frames with a spoofed source MAC address that matches the MAC address of the default gateway. What is the most likely effect?

Traffic destined to the gateway will be sent to the attacker's port

The switch will drop all traffic to the gateway

The switch will shut down the port

The switch will broadcast all traffic to the gateway

A network architect is designing a new data center. The design requires that traffic between two subnets be filtered based on security policies, and that traffic to a group of web servers be distributed across multiple servers. The architect wants to minimize the number of devices in the path. Which design should be used?

Place a load balancer between the subnets and a firewall in front of the web servers

Place a firewall between the subnets and a load balancer in front of the web servers

Place a router between the subnets and a load balancer in front of the web servers

Place a switch with VLANs between the subnets and a load balancer in front of the web servers
