Which of the following devices should be placed within a demilitarized zone (DMZ)?

A. Network switch

B. Web server

C. Database server

D. File/print server

Explanation:

A web server should normally be placed within a demilitarized zone (DMZ) to shield the internal network. Database and file/print servers may contain confidential or valuable data and should always be placed on the internal network, never on a DMZ that is subject to compromise. Switches may bridge a DMZ to another network but do not technically reside within the DMZ network segment.
