Secure Network Administrationintermediate
Match each web-access item with its role in the lab's Destination NAT configuration.
Answer
10.xx.xx.253 - Original public-facing destination address, 172.16.10.10 - Translated DMZ web-server address, service-http - HTTP service matched by the first mapping, HTTPS mapping - Separate mapping to the same DMZ server
Explanation
### Why this is right
The lab uses the firewall's public-facing address as the original destination, the DMZ server address as the translated destination, and separate service mappings for HTTP and HTTPS.
### The pairs
| Item | Matches | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 10.xx.xx.253 | Original public-facing destination address | The client connects to the firewall-facing address before translation. |
| 172.16.10.10 | Translated DMZ web-server address | The NAT rule forwards the request to this server. |
| service-http | HTTP service matched by the first mapping | The initial rule is configured for HTTP traffic. |
| HTTPS mapping | Separate mapping to the same DMZ server | The lab asks for a second mapping for HTTPS to 172.16.10.10. |
### Terms
- **HTTP**: Hypertext Transfer Protocol, a web communication protocol.
- **HTTPS**: Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, the secure web communication protocol.
### Remember
Distinguish the address the client contacts from the address the server uses.
