Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID, legacy) — Question 45

Which two descriptions of stateful packet inspection are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. provides reliable access control for Layer 3 and Layer 4
• B. transparent to network applications
• C. relies on only static rules that describe which packets should be allowed or dropped
• D. evaluates each packet individually
• E. provides reliable access control for Layer 5, Layer 6, and Layer 7

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because stateful packet inspection operates without affecting network applications, making it seamless. Option D is also correct as it analyzes packets independently, unlike options A, C, and E, which either misrepresent the layers involved or suggest static rule reliance, which is not a characteristic of stateful packet inspection.
