Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Apply Security Profiles to the inter-zone policy rule.
Why this is correct
Without profiles, the traffic is permitted but not inspected.
- ✗
Enable inter-zone routing.
Why it's wrong here
Routing is already implied if traffic is flowing.
- ✗
Configure a virtual wire.
Why it's wrong here
Virtual wire is for transparent L2 connectivity.
- ✗
Change the zones to a single zone.
Why it's wrong here
This would defeat the purpose of segmentation.
