SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 207

A network administrator is configuring an FTD in transparent mode. A bridge group is set up and an access policy has been set up to allow all IP traffic. Traffic is not passing through the FTD. What additional configuration is needed?

Answer options

• A. An IP address must be assigned to the BVI.
• B. The security levels of the interfaces must be set.
• C. A default route must be added to the FTD.
• D. A mac-access control list must be added to allow all MAC addresses.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because in transparent mode, the Bridge Virtual Interface (BVI) needs an IP address to facilitate traffic forwarding. The other options do not apply as security levels are not relevant in transparent mode, a default route is unnecessary for transparent mode operation, and MAC ACLs are not required for allowing all MAC addresses.
