Weekly CISSP Exam Questions

Which of the following is NOT a firewall type?

A. Packet-Filtering Firewall
B. Stateful Firewall
C. Circuit-Level Gateway
D. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Answer: D
Explanation:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is not a type of firewall; it's a network protocol used to assign IP addresses.

  • Packet-Filtering Firewall: Filters packets based on source and destination IP addresses, ports, or protocols.
  • Stateful Firewall: Maintains context about active sessions and makes decisions based on the context.
  • Circuit-Level Gateway: Validates the TCP handshake between packets, enabling data packets to flow between hosts.
  • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): Assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network, not a firewall type.
