System Configuration & Setup Flashcards

An operator needs to restrict Mobilyze system access to specific IP address ranges. Which feature should be configured?

An IP allowlist restricts system access to only the specified IP address ranges, blocking all other sources.

What is the function of a 'default gateway' in Mobilyze network configuration?

Answer: It routes traffic from the local network to external networks

The default gateway is the router address that forwards traffic from the local network to external or remote networks.

During Mobilyze configuration, an operator enables two-factor authentication (2FA). Which second factor is considered most secure?

Answer: Hardware token or authenticator app

Hardware tokens or authenticator apps generate time-based codes offline, making them more secure than SMS or email-based 2FA.

A Mobilyze system must communicate with a cloud service over the internet. Which port is typically used for secure HTTPS traffic?

Answer: Port 443

Port 443 is the standard port for HTTPS, which encrypts web traffic using TLS/SSL.

What is the purpose of a system configuration baseline in Mobilyze deployments?

Answer: To document the known-good configuration for auditing and recovery

A configuration baseline documents the approved, known-good state of a system, enabling auditing, compliance checks, and faster recovery.

When configuring email alerts on a Mobilyze system, which protocol is used to send outbound email notifications?

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for sending outbound email, including automated system alerts and notifications.

A Mobilyze operator is setting up a new site and must choose between a proxy server and a direct internet connection. What is the main advantage of routing traffic through a proxy?
