222.You are the administrator of your company’s network, which consists of a single Windows 2000 domain.

The network has a persistent connection to the Internet. The relevant partition of its configuration is
shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button).

Your company employs mobile salespeople who use portable computers running Windows 98. To enable
these users to access internal resources you place a virtual private network (VPN) server named VPN1
outside your firewall. This server is a stand-alone Windows 2000 Server computer running Routing and
Remote Access. The firewall is configured to allow inbound access from VPN1 only.

You configure PPTP ports on VPN1. Now you must configure packet filters. VPN1 must allow only VPN
traffic on the Internet interface, and it must prevent non-VPN users from accessing internal resources.

Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

A. Using the PPTP ports as the destination ports, create an input filter on VPN1.
As the destination IP address, use the IP address of the external interface of VPN1.
B. Using the PPTP ports as the source ports, create an input filter on VPN1.
As the source IP address, use the IP address of the external interface of VPN1.
C. Using the PPTP ports as the destination ports, create an input filter on VPN1.
As the destination IP address, use the IP address of the internal interface of VPN1.
D. Using the PPTP ports as the source ports, create an output filter on VPN1.
As the source IP address, use the IP address of the external interface of VPN1.
E. Using the PPTP ports as the destination ports, create an output filter on VPN1.
As the destination IP address, use the IP address of the external interface of VPN1.
F. Using the PPTP ports as the source ports, create an output filter on VPN1.
As the source IP address, use the IP address of the internal interface of VPN1.

Answer: A, F

Explanation:
A: The only inbound traffic allowed is traffic to the external interface on the VPN1 server.
F: The only outbound traffic allowed is traffic originating from the internal interface of VPN1.


My question: for the output filter, shouldn't the source IP address be the IP address of the internal interface of the VPN server ?
 
Isn't VPN1 the VPN Server? So all packets from the internal side going out will use this internal inteface ip address as its source.
 
Yes, it is for 70-216 exam, I made a typo - I think
the source IP address of the filter should be the
internet (EXTERNAL) interface of VPN1.
Why would it be the INTERNAL interface's address ??
 
Now that I look at the question a little closer I think the correct answer is "D" - because the PPTP is not wrapped around the packets until the server has it..So if the filter was configured as stated in F - then it wouldnt work because all data other than PPTP would be dropped. If you got this off a braindump site - don't be surprised to find many many errors.. I am actually studying for 216 right now. I will look for this question in my stuff and get back to you to confirm.
