To access the internet using static IPs, the firewall (or router) must be configured correctly:
B). Default gateway: This is essential because it tells the firewall where to send outbound traffic destined for outside the local network.
D). One static IP address: The firewall must be assigned one of the static IPs to communicate over the public internet.
The other options are not essential for basic internet connectivity in this context:
A). NTP server: Useful for time synchronization but not required for internet access.
C). The modem's IP address: Irrelevant unless doing modem-level configuration.
E). DNS servers: Important for name resolution but not for basic layer 3 connectivity.
F). DHCP server: Not used when static IPs are assigned.
