SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 108

An administrator must use Cisco FMC to install a backup route within the Cisco FTD to route traffic in case of a routing failure with primary route. Which action accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. Install the static backup route and modify the metric to be less than the primary route
• B. Use a default route in the FMC instead of having multiple routes contending for priority
• C. Configure EIGRP routing on the FMC to ensure that dynamic routes are always updated
• D. Create the backup route and use route tracking on both routes to a destination IP address in the network

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because route tracking allows the system to monitor the availability of both the primary and backup routes, facilitating seamless traffic rerouting when necessary. Option A is incorrect since merely adjusting the metric does not involve tracking the route status. Option B fails to address the requirement for a backup route activated by the primary route's failure. Option C does not solve the specific need for a backup route since EIGRP is focused on dynamic routing updates, not backup configurations.
