SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 158

An administrator is attempting to add a new FTD device to their FMC behind a NAT device with a NAT ID of NAT001 and a password of Cisco0123456789. The private IP address of the FMC server is 192.168.45.45, which is being translated to the public IP address of 209.165.200.225/27. Which command set must be used in order to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. configure manager add 209.165.200.225 255.255.255.224
• B. configure manager add 209.165.200.225
• C. configure manager add 209.165.200.225/27
• D. configure manager add 192.168.45.45

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the command to add a manager requires only the public IP address of the FMC, without the subnet mask or private IP address. Options A and C incorrectly include the subnet mask or specify the public IP with a mask, which is unnecessary. Option D incorrectly uses the private IP address, which cannot be used to communicate over the public internet.
