SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 234

A company is deploying Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense with IPS. What must be implemented in inline mode to pass the traffic without inspection during spikes and ensure that network traffic is kept?

Answer options

• A. Change the interface mode to Routed
• B. Select Propagate Link State
• C. Increase the MTU to 9000
• D. Set the Snort Failsafe option

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the Snort Failsafe option allows the system to bypass inspection and pass traffic during high load situations, ensuring network continuity. The other options do not address the requirement for traffic bypass during spikes; changing the interface mode or adjusting MTU settings does not directly enable traffic to be passed without inspection.
