Free COMPTIA Datasys+ DS0-001 Actual Exam Questions - Question 13 Discussion
coming from specific IP addresses. Which of the following can be used to configure IP addresses to
allow access to the database?
Option B, since firewalls are the usual way to restrict IP access at the network level.
Maybe A, since the question might imply specifying fixed IPs allowed to access the database. Using static IPs for allowed clients could be part of the setup to restrict access correctly.
B/D? Firewalls are the usual method, but some database systems support setting allowed IPs directly (like D if it meant DNS-based filtering). Static or dynamic IPs don’t restrict access by themselves.
Makes sense to go with B here. Static and dynamic IPs are just about how addresses are assigned, not about restricting access. IDNS isn’t even a thing for access control. Firewalls are the standard way to allow or block specific IPs from reaching a service like a database. So B fits best since it's the tool that actually enforces IP-based access rules.
It’s B too. Static and dynamic IPs are just address types, they don’t control access. Firewalls actually enforce rules on which IPs can connect, so that’s the best choice here.
I think the answer is B, Firewall. Firewalls can be set up to allow or block traffic based on IP addresses, so it fits the requirement to restrict access to certain IPs. The other options don’t really control access like that.
