   A company is deploying a new access layer for a building with 200 users. The users are a mix of employees and contractors. The security policy requires that contractors only have access to the internet, not internal resources. The network team wants to use access switches with VLAN segmentation and a firewall to enforce the policy. Which design is most appropriate?

   • AUse a separate physical network for contractors
   • BPlace contractors on the same VLAN as employees and rely on host-based firewalls
   • CUse a single VLAN and configure ACLs on the access switches
   • DPlace contractors on a separate VLAN and use a firewall to filter traffic between VLANs

   What is the primary purpose of a firewall in a network?

   • ATo connect end devices to the network
   • BTo route traffic between different VLANs
   • CTo provide high-speed forwarding for the network backbone
   • DTo control traffic between network segments and enforce security policies

   A network engineer is upgrading the backbone of a campus network. The current core switches are overloaded because they are performing deep packet inspection and complex access control lists for every flow. The engineer wants to offload these tasks to the appropriate layer. What should be configured at the distribution layer to reduce core load?

   • AIncrease the number of VLANs at the core to segment traffic more finely
   • BImplement policy enforcement such as ACLs and QoS classification at the distribution layer
   • CDisable QoS at the distribution layer to free up resources
   • DMove all routing to the access layer and make the core a pure Layer 2 switch
