QuestionQ4

Network basics

Which of the following statements about gratuitous ARP are correct?

Choose three

Gratuitous ARP is typically a broadcast ARP request used to announce or validate a host’s own IP-to-MAC mapping. It can help detect IP address conflicts, and forged gratuitous ARP messages can poison ARP caches to redirect traffic in a man-in-the-middle attack.

QuestionQ5

Security policies inspect data flows that traverse firewalls. Only data flows that match the security policies are permitted to pass.

Explanation

Firewall policy matching selects the action defined by the policy. Traffic is permitted only when the matching policy has an accept action; traffic matching a deny policy, or no policy, is not allowed to proceed.
