SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 276

An engineer must implement Cisco Secure Firewall transparent mode due to a new server recently being added that must communicate with an existing server that is currently separated by the firewall. Which implementation action must be taken next by the engineer to accomplish the goal?

Answer options

• A. Configure the same default gateway for both servers.
• B. Ensure that both servers are in the same bridge domain.
• C. Enable both servers to share the same VXLAN segment.
• D. Assign the same subnet to both servers.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because for a transparent mode firewall, both servers must be in the same bridge domain to ensure they can communicate without routing. The other options do not address the requirement for the servers to be in the same bridge domain, which is essential for transparent mode operation.
