SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 149

An organization is installing a new Cisco FTD appliance in the network. An engineer is tasked with configuring access between two network segments within the same IP subnet. Which step is needed to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. Specify a name for the bridge group.
• B. Assign an IP address to the Bridge Virtual Interface.
• C. Permit BPDU packets to prevent loops.
• D. Add a separate bridge group for each segment.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Assigning an IP address to the Bridge Virtual Interface is essential for routing traffic between the network segments in the same subnet. The other options do not directly facilitate communication between the segments; naming the bridge group is administrative, permitting BPDU packets relates to Spanning Tree Protocol, and adding separate bridge groups complicates the configuration unnecessarily.
