Refer to the exhibit. Beginning with HR servers and workstations, a network engineer is
designing a new security structure for the network. Which set of policies adheres to the
hierarchical network model design principles?
1 Implement Layer 3 switching on S1 to reduce the packet processing load on D1 and D2.
Install all security processing on S1 to reduce network traffic load.
2 Configure port security options on S1. Use Layer 3 access control features on D1 and D2 to
limit access to the HR servers to just the HR subnet.
3 Move all HR assets out of the data center and connect them to S1. Use Layer 3 security
functions on S1 to deny all traffic into and out of S1.
4 Perform all port access and Layer 3 security functions on C1.
