Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 83

The user traffic destined to all web servers located in the data center must pass first through a set of firewalls for deep packet inspection. A network architect must design the Cisco Intelligent Traffic Director (ITD) deployment that meets these requirements:
• The firewalls are connected to a set of two Cisco Nexus switches to provide stateful handling of traffic.
• The ITD service is provided for inside and outside segments of the firewall.

Which ITD deployment mode must be implemented to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. server vPC deployment mode
• B. sandwich deployment mode
• C. one-arm deployment mode
• D. server load-balancing deployment mode

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, sandwich deployment mode, as it allows traffic to be inspected by firewalls located between the client and server segments. The other options do not provide the necessary configuration for deep packet inspection with the required connection to the firewalls and the two Cisco Nexus switches.
