Correct this shift pose to legacy firewalls?
1 points out of 1
Select one:
Firewalls did not have visibility into HTTP ports.

HTTP request methods were too complex and diverse.

Different web applications used the same HTTP port number, making it difficult for firewalls to distinguish between
applications. 

HTTP was an application layer protocol that relied heavily on TCP.

Question 5 What additional functionality did second generation firewalls provide that early packet filter firewalls did not?
Correct

1 points out of 1 Select one:

They observed network connections over time and continuously examined conversations between endpoints. 

They were stateless firewalls that allowed rogue packets that did not belong to an existing connection to pass through the
firewall.

They examined packet headers to detect if the packet contained viruses.

They looked up the IP address of the sender to determine if the source was on a suspect network.
