Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH, legacy) — Question 68

During an upgrade of an existing data center, a network team must design segmentation into existing networks. Due to legacy applications, the IP addresses cannot change. Which firewall deployment model meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Routed mode
• B. Multicontext mode
• C. Transparent mode
• D. Cluster mode

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Multicontext mode, as it allows for segmentation while maintaining the existing IP addresses. Routed mode would change IP addressing, Transparent mode would not provide the necessary segmentation, and Cluster mode refers to a redundancy setup rather than segmentation.
