Cisco 300-710 Exam - Topic 1 Question 119 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-710 exam

Question #: 119
Topic #: 1

An administrator configures the interfaces of a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defence device in an inline IPS deployment. The administrator completes these actions:

* identifies the device and the interfaces

* sets the interface mode to inline

* enables the interlaces

Which configuration step must the administrator take next to complete the implementation?

AEnable spanning-tree PortFast on the interfaces.

CSet the interface to Transparent mode.

BConfigure an inline set

DSet the interface to routed mode.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

After setting the interface mode to inline and enabling the interfaces on a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) device in an inline IPS deployment, the next step is to configure an inline set. An inline set groups two interfaces that work together to inspect traffic passing between them.

Steps to configure an inline set:

In FMC, navigate toDevices > Device Management.

Select the FTD device and configure the interfaces.

Create a new inline set, adding the relevant interfaces that have been set to inline mode.

Deploy the configuration to the FTD device.

Configuring an inline set ensures that the traffic between the specified interfaces is inspected and processed according to the IPS policies, completing the implementation of the inline IPS deployment.

Hmm, I'd say setting up the intrusion prevention rules is the crucial next step.

I feel like there’s something about configuring the management interface next, but I can't recall the exact order.

I practiced a similar question where we had to define the inspection policies after setting the interfaces. I hope that's the same here!

I remember something about needing to set up the inline IPS rules after enabling the interfaces. That sounds right, doesn't it?

I think the next step might be to configure the policies for traffic inspection, but I'm not entirely sure.

I think the key is to make sure the interfaces are properly configured in inline mode. After that, the next logical step would be to define the security policies for the inline IPS deployment.

I'm not too familiar with Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defence, so I'm a bit lost on the specific configuration steps here. Any tips would be appreciated.
