SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 13

What is a functionality of port objects in Cisco FMC?

Answer options

• A. to mix transport protocols when setting both source and destination port conditions in a rule
• B. to represent protocols other than TCP, UDP, and ICMP
• C. to represent all protocols in the same way
• D. to add any protocol other than TCP or UDP for source port conditions in access control rules.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because port objects in Cisco FMC are used to define and represent protocols beyond just TCP, UDP, and ICMP, allowing for more flexibility in rule creation. Options A and D are incorrect as they misrepresent the purpose of port objects, while option C is inaccurate because it implies a uniformity that does not account for the distinct nature of different protocols.
