Question #31
A hospital network needs to upgrade their Cisco FMC managed devices and needs to ensure that a disaster recovery process is in place. What must be done in order to minimize downtime on the network?
- AConfigure a second circuit to an ISP for added redundancy.
- BKeep a copy of the current configuration to use as backup.
- CConfigure the Cisco FMCs for failover.
- DConfigure the Cisco FMC managed devices for clustering.
Correct Answer:
C
C
GPT-4o - Answer
Good job spotting the importance of minimizing network downtime during upgrades by employing Cisco FMC managed devices for failover. Failover configuration allows the network to continue functioning without interruption by automatically switching to a backup system upon detecting a failure of the main system. This capability is crucial in ensuring that network operations do not halt during critical updates or unexpected outages, particularly in a sensitive environment like a hospital. This approach maintains operational consistency and protects against potential data loss or service disruption during system upgrades.
Question #34
An engineer must configure high availability for the Cisco Firepower devices. The current network topology does not allow for two devices to pass traffic concurrently. How must the devices be implemented in this environment?
- Ain active/active mode
- Bin a cluster span EtherChannel
- Cin active/passive mode
- Din cluster interface mode
Correct Answer:
C
C
GPT-4o - Answer
For configuring high availability in Cisco Firepower, when you cannot use two devices to pass traffic concurrently, the correct setup is the active/passive mode. In this configuration, one device actively manages traffic, while the other remains in a standby mode, ready to take over if the primary device fails. This approach ensures continuous traffic flow without requiring simultaneous traffic handling by both devices, aligning with network topologies that do not support concurrent device traffic.
Question #35
When deploying a Cisco ASA Firepower module, an organization wants to evaluate the contents of the traffic without affecting the network. It is currently configured to have more than one instance of the same device on the physical appliance. Which deployment mode meets the needs of the organization?
- Ainline tap monitor-only mode
- Bpassive monitor-only mode
- Cpassive tap monitor-only mode
- Dinline mode
Correct Answer:
B
B
GPT-4o - Answer
The passive monitor-only mode is indeed the best fit when the focus is on monitoring traffic without direct interaction with the flow itself, making it non-intrusive and ideal for the specified context of not affecting the network. However, some points were raised about the possible limitation in passive monitor-only mode when multiple instances are involved. This should be fact-checked against the most current Cisco documentation, as configurations and capabilities may evolve over software versions or through specific deployment details not covered fully here.
Question #37
A network engineer implements a new Cisco Firepower device on the network to take advantage of its intrusion detection functionality. There is a requirement to analyze the traffic going across the device, alert on any malicious traffic, and appear as a bump in the wire. How should this be implemented?
- ASpecify the BVI IP address as the default gateway for connected devices
- BEnable routing on the Cisco Firepower
- CAdd an IP address to the physical Cisco Firepower interfaces
- DConfigure a bridge group in transparent mode
Correct Answer:
D
D
GPT-4o - Answer
The proper deployment of Cisco Firepower in transparent mode, acting as "a bump in the wire," is through configuring a bridge group in transparent mode. This setup allows the unit to monitor and control the data passing through without being detected by connected devices, hence not affecting the network topology. The bridge group manages the traffic between internal and external interfaces using bridging techniques while maintaining all standard firewall functionalities, elevating network security without disruption. This method is crucial for environments needing seamless and non-disruptive security measures.
