Question 170
At the Corlissport manufacturing operator, two nearly identical host names refer to different servers and an engineer selects the wrong destination in an allow rule. Which interpretation best explains what is happening?
Explanation
Correct Answer
An object name is a reference label; its actual address and type determine policy matching. This directly explains the reported condition at the Corlissport manufacturing operator; it supports the decision to review object names and addresses and use an unambiguous intended destination object.
Incorrect Answers
That statement describes object search and navigation: managed objects can be reused across rules, so discovery should precede creating redundant definitions. At the Corlissport manufacturing operator, however, the reported facts indicate that an object name is a reference label; its actual address and type determine policy matching.
That statement describes incorrect subnet mask: an overly broad address mask changes which endpoints match a rule, regardless of the displayed object name. At the Corlissport manufacturing operator, however, the reported facts indicate that an object name is a reference label; its actual address and type determine policy matching.
That statement describes duplicate address objects: conflicting duplicate objects create maintenance drift and inconsistent rule intent. At the Corlissport manufacturing operator, however, the reported facts indicate that an object name is a reference label; its actual address and type determine policy matching.
