Which of the following devices should be placed within a DMZ?

Which of the following devices should be placed within a DMZ?

A. Router

B. Firewall

C. Mail relay

D. Authentication server

Explanation:

A mail relay should normally be placed within a demilitarized zone (DMZ) to shield the internal network. An authentication server, due to its sensitivity, should always be placed on the internal network, never on a DMZ that is subject to compromise. Both routers and firewalls may bridge a DMZ to another network, but do not technically reside within the DMZ, network segment.
