Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 215

What is a characteristic of Firepower NGIPS inline deployment mode?

Answer options

• A. ASA with Firepower module cannot be deployed
• B. It cannot take actions such as blocking traffic
• C. It is out-of-band from traffic
• D. It must have inline interface pairs configured

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is accurate because inline deployment requires the configuration of interface pairs to monitor and control traffic effectively. Option A is incorrect as ASA with Firepower can be deployed. Option B is false since inline mode allows the system to take actions like blocking. Option C is incorrect because inline mode is not out-of-band; it is part of the traffic flow.
