SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 20

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

Answer options

• A. ERSPAN
• B. firewall
• C. tap
• D. IPS-only

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, tap mode, as it allows the Cisco FTD to passively monitor traffic without interfering. The other options, such as firewall and IPS-only, are active modes that process or analyze traffic, which does not align with the requirement of passive traffic reception.
