Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
spec: tls: termination: passthrough
Why this is correct
Setting termination to passthrough ensures TLS is not terminated at the router.
- ✗
spec: tls: termination: reencrypt
Why it's wrong here
Re-encrypt terminates and re-originates TLS at the router.
- ✗
spec: tls: termination: edge
Why it's wrong here
Edge termination terminates TLS at the router.
- ✗
spec: tls: insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy: Allow
Why it's wrong here
This specifies how insecure traffic is handled, not the TLS termination type.
