Which of the following tasks can be managed easily with Zone-Based Policy Firewall?

  1. Traffic control for multiple protocols

  2. Physical device management

  3. Network topology mapping

  4. Configuration of network redundancy

The correct answer is: Traffic control for multiple protocols

The correct choice highlights how the Zone-Based Policy Firewall (ZBFW) is designed to manage traffic effectively across various types of protocols. ZBFW operates by dividing a network into various zones where specific policies can be implemented to control traffic between them. This model allows for granular control and configuration for different types of traffic, enhancing security and efficiency in network management. In contrast, managing physical device configurations or handling hardware aspects are not tasks that ZBFW addresses, which aligns with the incorrect options centered around physical device management and network topology mapping, as ZBFW focuses on logically managing traffic rather than physical or structural elements of the network. Likewise, while network redundancy is critical for resilience, it is not directly managed by ZBFW, which targets traffic policy enforcement rather than redundancy configurations.
