[Autogenerated] actually really weird questions.
Um, I increasingly have seen reports on compliance where there are no routers.
Right?
Right.
But we're the requirement says firewalls on routers.
Right.
So what do you do if there's no router?
Well, okay, if if there's no if there's no routing device routing device.
However, however we want to phrase it, I'm English Jacobs Americans.
So we do the translation for us to company because
countries separated by a common lee.
That's right.
Yeah, right, Exactly.
So if there are no such devices, that's okay, right?
And that's that's increasingly common.
Where again, in a cloud environment,
you're not necessarily going toe have some sort of
routing device under your direct control,
right?
The the cloud provider is going to do kind of all of
that network traffic management stuff,
or maybe the case where the border router device exists
outside the scope of your assessed environment.
Okay,
if there are no such devices than when I write up a
report in compliance on that, I say, Here's the stuff about the firewall,
right?
And then there were no routers.
There were no routing devices in this environment that that is not
applicable forth that set of device category.
So the requirement to synchronize router configuration
files you just put not applicable.
Correct the fact that you don't have any.
Doesn't you failed because I know people.
That was a concern.
I don't with a client.
And they were in cola, right?
Right.
And they had they had no control over.
They just got a ___, right?
They have no idea how their I p came to them.
They just got a ___, right, you know,
And then it went straight into their firewall,
right?
Right.
And that's that's very common.
And the synchronization between the sort of start
up in the running configuration.
Even if you have a routing device, depending on what make of device you have,
you may not have that that start up running,
ah, synchronization issue, right.
That that's that's particular to certain makes of device.
Uh, and and so you may not have that even if you have a physical device.
And so that requirement maybe not applicable even in that cast, A.
In a more mature organization, you know,
the routers are looking out elsewhere for their configurations.
There not been a large load it from here.
It's like it's over there, right?
The health, centrally anyway, right
