Question 150
In an AWS networking assessment, a firewall inspection subnet has a route to the internet but no route back toward the originating TGW attachment. Which technical explanation BEST accounts for the observed condition?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Packets bypassing the inspection return path break state consistency and can violate security policy. This explains the observed network behavior, which can be checked by verifying that outbound test sessions return through the firewall in both directions.
Incorrect Answers
Packets not sent to the stateful engine cannot be filtered by its configured stateful rules. For the stated conditions, packets bypassing the inspection return path break state consistency and can violate security policy. The more specific mechanism is centralized stateful inspection requires the return route to the correct original traffic source.
Security groups lack explicit deny rules while NACL rule-order processing can enforce a scoped subnet deny. For the stated conditions, packets bypassing the inspection return path break state consistency and can violate security policy. The more specific mechanism is centralized stateful inspection requires the return route to the correct original traffic source.
Simply creating an endpoint does not redirect network packets onto the appliance data path. For the stated conditions, packets bypassing the inspection return path break state consistency and can violate security policy. The more specific mechanism is centralized stateful inspection requires the return route to the correct original traffic source.
