A testing team has a server with more than one network adapter. Which action best identifies if traffic from one adapter can pass to another without being blocked?
Perform scans from a remote network to detect open ports on the server
Analyze name lookups in the zone files for the monitored system
Capture packets on the host while sending data from separate subnets
Check firewall logs for dropped inbound connections targeting the server
Capturing data locally on the server while transmitting packets from one network to the other clarifies if those packets can traverse interfaces. Just looking at firewall logs for traffic drops, inspecting name resolution requests, or running scans from one external address do not reveal whether data can be forwarded among different internal networks.
