Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 495

Which Cisco ASA deployment model is used to filter traffic between hosts in the same IP subnet using higher-level protocols without readdressing the network?

Answer options

• A. multiple context mode
• B. single context mode
• C. routed mode
• D. transparent mode

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is 'D. transparent mode' because this mode allows the Cisco ASA to operate at Layer 2, filtering traffic without the need for IP address changes. The other options, such as 'A. multiple context mode' and 'B. single context mode', relate to different operational configurations, while 'C. routed mode' requires readdressing and operates at Layer 3.
