Which term refers to mirroring all inbound and outbound traffic to cloud-based servers' interfaces?

• A. ACL-Based Traffic Mirroring
• B. VPC
• C. SNMP
• D. Break and Inspect

Answer: (A)

Mirroring all traffic to cloud server interfaces is about duplicating the packets so a monitoring or security tool can inspect them without altering the original flow. The term that best captures this approach here is ACL-based traffic mirroring, which uses access control lists to select which traffic should be copied and sent to a monitoring target. When configured to include every inbound and outbound packet, it effectively provides a full copy of the interface activity for analysis.

The other terms don’t fit as well. A VPC is the cloud network environment, not the act of duplicating traffic for inspection. SNMP is a management protocol for collecting device statistics, not a method for mirroring live traffic. Break and Inspect describes routing traffic through an inline inspection device, which alters the path rather than simply duplicating it for separate analysis.
