JNCIA-SEC Content Security Practice Question

An administrator needs to ensure that Antispam inspection is applied only to inbound mail destined for the corporate mail server. How should this be achieved in the security policy configuration?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Attach an antispam-enabled UTM policy exclusively to the security policy permitting SMTP traffic from the untrusted zone to the mail server.

Antispam is bound to a UTM policy, which in turn is attached to a specific security policy governing the mail server traffic flow.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Configure a global antispam filter under the [edit security utm] hierarchy.

    Why it's wrong here

    Junos UTM does not support global untargeted feature application without security policy binding.

  • Attach an antispam-enabled UTM policy exclusively to the security policy permitting SMTP traffic from the untrusted zone to the mail server.

    Why this is correct

    Restricting the UTM policy to the specific security policy ensures antispam inspection applies only to that traffic path.

  • Apply the antispam profile directly to the egress interface facing the mail server.

    Why it's wrong here

    UTM profiles cannot be attached to interfaces.

  • Enable antispam globally within the system services configuration.

    Why it's wrong here

    There is no system services antispam toggle.
