Firewall Rule Simulator

Practice configuring firewall rules just like the real Security+ PBQ. Drag and drop rules in the correct order.

Scenario

Your company needs to secure the network. Configure the firewall to block Telnet (port 23) from external sources while allowing HTTPS (port 443) traffic to the web server. Remember: firewall rules are processed top-to-bottom!

Hint: Order matters! Place DENY rules before ALLOW rules for proper filtering.

Firewall Rules - Key Concepts for SY0-701

Rule Order Matters

Firewall rules are processed top-to-bottom. The first matching rule is applied. Place specific DENY rules before general ALLOW rules.

Implicit Deny

Most firewalls have an implicit "deny all" at the end. Only explicitly allowed traffic passes through.

Stateful vs Stateless

Stateful firewalls track connection state. Stateless firewalls evaluate each packet independently.
