The administrator receives a call from an employee named Joe. Joe says the Internet is down and
he is receiving a blank page when typing to connect to a popular sports website. The administrator
asks Joe to try visiting a popular search engine site, which Joe reports as successful. Joe then
says that he can get to the sports site on this phone. Which of the following might the administrator
need to configure?
A.
The access rules on the IDS
B.
The pop up blocker in the employee’s browser
C.
The sensitivity level of the spam filter
D.
The default block page on the URL filter
Explanation:
A URL filter is used to block access to a site based on all or part of a URL. There are a number of
URL-filtering tools that can acquire updated master URL block lists from vendors, as well as allow
administrators to add or remove URLs from a custom list.
This question is more towards a helpdesk. So in no way that the question tells the examiner that a default block page should be configured????
I agree the answer is URL filter but what admin is going to unblock a website like that at work? I mean do we want people to work or look at sport stats and videos. Lol.
If they work at ESPN or any other sports related media outlet, I would say a lot of people would want them to able to get to a sports website. That said, it is still a terrible question. Are these really what is on the test? Ugh.
