SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 14

With Cisco FTD software, which interface mode must be configured to passively receive traffic that passes through the appliance?

Answer options

• A. inline set
• B. passive
• C. routed
• D. inline tap

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, inline tap, which allows the appliance to passively analyze network traffic without interrupting it. Option A, inline set, is used for active traffic manipulation, while B, passive, and C, routed, do not facilitate passive monitoring of traffic in the same way as inline tap does.
