Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 635

A customer has various external HTTP resources available including Intranet, Extranet, and Internet, with a proxy configuration running in explicit mode. Which method allows the client desktop browsers to be configured to select when to connect direct or when to use proxy?

Answer options

• A. Bridge mode
• B. Transparent mode
• C. .PAC file
• D. Forward file

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is .PAC file, which stands for Proxy Auto-Configuration file. This file allows browsers to determine whether to connect directly or through a proxy based on defined rules. The other options, such as Bridge mode and Transparent mode, do not provide the same level of client-side control over proxy usage.
