Design Evaluations
Applied Knowledge Questions
The following questions are designed to test your knowledge of teleworker secure network design and sometimes build on knowledge found elsewhere in the book. You might find that a question has more than one possible answer. The answers provided in Appendix B are intended to reinforce concepts that you can apply in your own networking environment.
Questions 5, 6, and 7 are exercises for you and have no single answer.
