SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 6

What is the result a specifying of QoS rule that has a rate limit that is greater than the maximum throughput of an interface?

Answer options

• A. The rate-limiting rule is disabled.
• B. Matching traffic is not rate limited.
• C. The system rate-limits all traffic.
• D. The system repeatedly generates warnings.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because when the rate limit exceeds the maximum throughput, the system does not enforce rate limiting on the matching traffic. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they imply disabling the rule, applying rate limits universally, or generating warnings, none of which accurately describes the behavior under these conditions.
