Implementing Cisco Network Security (IINS, legacy) — Question 48

Which type of firewall can act on behalf of the end device?

Answer options

• A. Stateful packet
• B. Application
• C. Packet

Correct answer:

Explanation

The Application firewall is correct because it can inspect and filter traffic at the application layer, functioning on behalf of the end device. In contrast, Stateful packet and Packet firewalls operate primarily at the network layer and do not have the capability to act for the end device in the same way.
