A firewall port-forwarding rule configured exclusively for TCP port 80 (HTTP) will not forward inbound traffic destined for TCP port 443 (HTTPS).
Answer
True
Explanation
### Why this is right
The lab first configures an HTTP mapping and then instructs students to set up an HTTPS mapping to the same DMZ server address.
### The concept
Each mapping identifies a service and the destination address to which matching traffic is translated. The HTTP and HTTPS mappings are separate service configurations, even though both target 172.16.10.10. The lab then tests both web protocols from Kali using the firewall's public-facing address.
### Terms
- **HTTP**: Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The web protocol used by the lab's HTTP test.
- **HTTPS**: Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. The secure web protocol used by the lab's HTTPS test.
### Remember
The two web protocols need their own matching service rules in this lab, even when they share a server.
