Which of the following servers would you be least likely to place in a DMZ?
A. Web server
B. DNS server
C. SMTP server
D. File Server
The Correct Answer is C. SMTP server.
It is a perimeter network that protects an organization’s internal local-area network (LAN) from untrusted traffic. It is a subnetwork that sits between the public internet and private networks. The main motive of a DMZ is to allow an organization to access untrusted networks, such as the internet, while ensuring its private network or LAN remains secure.
Any service that is being provided to users on the external network can be placed in the DMZ.
The most common of these services are:
- Web servers
- Mail servers
- FTP servers
- VoIP servers
We have web servers, DNS server, SMTP server and file server as options. Web server, DNS server and SMTP server these are preferred to take place in DMZ.
So we have left with file server and thus it is likely to be placed in place of DMZ.
