The most likely error to occur when implementing a firewall is:
A. incorrectly configuring the access lists.
B. compromising the passwords due to social engineering.
C. connecting a modem to the computers in the network.
D. inadequately protecting the network and server from virus
attacks.
Answer / guest
Answer: A
An updated and flawless access list is a significant
challenge and, therefore, has the greatest chance for errors
at the time of the initial installation. Passwords do not
apply to firewalls, a modem bypasses a firewall and a virus
attack is not an element in implementing a firewall.
