In a topology diagram, a load balancer sits between a firewall and a pool of web servers. What is the load balancer’s role in this design?

To distribute incoming web traffic across the servers

To translate private IP addresses to public IP addresses

To route traffic between different VLANs

To filter malicious traffic before it reaches the servers

A topology diagram shows two firewalls in parallel between a router and a core switch. Each firewall connects to both the router and the switch. What is the primary purpose of this design?

To allow the switch to perform routing between VLANs

To increase the number of available public IP addresses

To provide redundancy so that if one firewall fails, traffic can still pass through the other

To enable the router to load-balance traffic between the two firewalls
