Watchguard Network Security Practice Test

What feature can limit simultaneous client connections to only 50 users on a Firebox?

1. A license limitation on the device

2. A configuration setting that restricts DHCP

3. A firewall policy that limits access

4. The version of Fireware OS installed

The correct answer is: A license limitation on the device

The feature that limits simultaneous client connections to only 50 users on a Firebox is related to a license limitation on the device. Firebox devices have specific licensing terms that dictate various operational capabilities, including the number of concurrent connections allowed. This means that if a Firebox is licensed for only 50 users, it will restrict the ability to connect beyond that limit, ensuring compliance with the licensing terms. The other options, while they relate to network management and security, do not specifically address the limitation on simultaneous connections. A configuration setting that restricts DHCP would manage IP address allocation and could indirectly influence client connections, but it does not impose a hard limit on the total number of simultaneous connections. Similarly, a firewall policy might control access for certain users but does not define a maximum number of users that can connect at the same time. The version of Fireware OS installed can affect features and performance but is not typically the determining factor for the maximum number of simultaneous connections based on licensing arrangements.
