SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 17

While configuring FTD, a network engineer wants to ensure that traffic passing though the appliance does not require routing or VLAN rewriting. Which interface mode should the engineer implement to accomplish this task?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The 'inline set' mode allows traffic to pass through the appliance without requiring routing or VLAN changes, which matches the engineer's needs. The 'passive' mode does not actively filter traffic, while 'transparent' mode can operate without routing but is not specifically for inline setups. 'Inline tap' is used for monitoring and does not control traffic flow like 'inline set' does.
