Question 1 of 30
In a corporate environment, a network administrator is tasked with enhancing security by implementing network segmentation. The organization has multiple departments, including HR, Finance, and IT, each requiring different levels of access to sensitive data. The administrator decides to use VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) to separate the traffic of these departments. If the HR department needs to access a shared database that contains sensitive employee information, while the Finance department requires access to financial records, what is the most effective approach to ensure that the HR department can access the database without exposing the Finance department\'s data to unnecessary risk?
Create a dedicated VLAN for the HR department that allows access to the shared database while restricting access to the Finance VLAN.
Allow both the HR and Finance departments to share the same VLAN to simplify access to all resources.
Implement a single VLAN for all departments and use access control lists (ACLs) to manage permissions.
Create separate VLANs for each department but allow unrestricted inter-VLAN routing to facilitate communication.
