Zorluk: ZorNetwork Components Roles and Functions

A network architect is designing an enterprise branch network that requires high-speed inter-VLAN routing for internal communication between local subnets, alongside deep packet inspection, stateful traffic monitoring, and intrusion prevention for all internet-bound traffic. Which deployment strategy correctly assigns these operational roles to the appropriate network components to maximize performance and security?

  1. Perform local inter-VLAN packet forwarding on a Layer 3 switch using ASIC-based routing, and forward external traffic to a Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) for application-layer inspection and security enforcement.Cevap
  2. B
    Perform local inter-VLAN routing on an unmanaged Layer 2 switch to break up broadcast domains, and rely on client endpoint NICs to inspect application-layer payloads for external traffic.
  3. C
    Install a Type 2 hypervisor directly on bare-metal hardware at the network boundary to handle line-rate inter-VLAN routing and hardware-level packet switching without an OS host.
  4. D
    Configure Layer 2 discovery protocols (CDP/LLDP) on access switches to perform stateful security filtering and inspect TCP application payloads between subnets.

Cevap

Local inter-VLAN routing should be performed on a Layer 3 switch using ASIC-based forwarding, while edge traffic should be directed through a Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) for stateful application-layer inspection.
In enterprise architecture, assigning Layer 3 switches to handle inter-VLAN routing leverages ASIC hardware for high-bandwidth, low-latency internal traffic forwarding. Positioning a Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) at the network perimeter provides dedicated stateful packet inspection, application recognition, and security policy enforcement for external traffic.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the requirements for internal inter-VLAN routing.
Layer 3 switches use dedicated hardware Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) to route traffic between local VLANs at wire speed with minimal latency.
Routing internal subnets at Layer 3 on switch hardware offloads throughput demands from security edge devices.
2
Analyze the requirements for external internet-bound security enforcement.
Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) perform stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection (DPI), and application-level security policy enforcement.
Standard Layer 3 switches lack advanced threat prevention, deep packet inspection, and stateful application control features.
3
Evaluate component assignments.
Combining Layer 3 switches for internal forwarding with an NGFW at the internet perimeter fulfills both high throughput and robust security requirements.
This functional division adheres to Cisco enterprise architectural best practices.
