Scroll down to the Network Diagram section and note the following 6 similar steps

1 - SPlunk connection initiated

2 - Primary authentication

3 - Splunk connection established to Duo Security over TCP port 443

4 - Secondary authentication via Duo Security's service

5 - Splunk receives authentication response

6 - Splunk session logged in.

The serverclass.conf file controls how deployment apps and configurations are distributed from the Deployment Server to its Deployment Clients. Within this configuration, attribute values can be defined at multiple levels, and Splunk applies them based on a defined order of precedence --- from general to most specific.

The correct order of evaluation (lowest to highest precedence) is:

[global] --- applies to all server classes and clients unless overridden.

[serverClass:<name>] --- applies to all clients in that specific server class.

[serverClass:<name>:app:] --- applies only to a specific app within that server class and overrides previous settings.

This means that values set in the [serverClass:<name>:app:] stanza take priority over those in [serverClass:<name>], which in turn override values in [global].

Example (from serverclass.conf):

[global]

whitelist.0 = *

[serverClass:web_servers]

whitelist.0 = web01*

blacklist.0 = test*

[serverClass:web_servers:app:web_monitoring]

restartSplunkWeb = true

Here, restartSplunkWeb = true in the app stanza overrides any inherited setting from the global or class level.

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Deploy/Datapipeline 'The data pipeline segments in depth. INPUT - In the input segment, Splunk software consumes data. It acquires the raw data stream from its source, breaks it into 64K blocks, and annotates each block with some metadata keys. The keys can also include values that are used internally, such as the character encoding of the data stream, and values that control later processing of the data, such as the index into which the events should be stored. PARSING Annotating individual events with metadata copied from the source-wide keys. Transforming event data and metadata according to regex transform rules.'

The outputs.conf file defines how forwarders send data to receivers1.You can specify some output configurations at installation time (Windows universal forwarders only) or the CLI, but most advanced configuration settings require that you edit outputs.conf1.

The [tcpout:...] stanza specifies a group of forwarding targets that receive data over TCP2.You can define multiple groups with different names and settings2.

The server setting lists one or more receiving hosts for the group, separated by commas2.If you specify multiple hosts, the forwarder load balances the data across them2.

Therefore, option A is correct, because the forwarder will send data to both inputsl.mysplunkhfs.corp:9997 and inputs2.mysplunkhfs.corp:9997, even if 145.188.183.184:9097 is unreachable.

The failOpen setting in the [duoMFA] stanza determines how Splunk software handles authentication requests when it cannot connect to the Duo Security service. If failOpen is set to True, as in this example, Splunk software allows users to log in without completing a multifactor challenge. If failOpen is set to False, Splunk software denies all logins when it cannot connect to Duo Security. This setting is independent of the authentication type or the secretKey protection.Reference=Connect to Duo Security for multifactor authentication
