SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 64

What is the difference between inline and inline tap on Cisco Firepower?

Answer options

• A. Inline tap mode can send a copy of the traffic to another device.
• B. Inline tap mode does full packet capture.
• C. Inline mode cannot do SSL decryption.
• D. Inline mode can drop malicious traffic.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because inline mode actively inspects and can drop malicious traffic, whereas inline tap mode only monitors traffic without the ability to take action. Options A and B incorrectly describe inline tap capabilities, and option C is inaccurate as inline mode can perform SSL decryption with the appropriate configuration.
