Discuss Cisco 300-710 Exam Topic 1 Question 119

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.

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.

Agreed. You need to ensure the signatures are up to date.

Lavera 4 months ago

I feel like tuning the signatures comes after that.

Justine 4 months ago

Yeah, definitely. Policies are crucial for traffic inspection.

Gregg 5 months ago

I think the next step is to configure the IPS policies.

Andree 6 months ago

Yeah, policies come after interface setup!

Lisbeth 6 months ago

Don’t forget to set the inspection mode!

Chana 6 months ago

Wait, are you sure about that?

Brock 6 months ago

Totally agree, policies are crucial!

Goldie 6 months ago

You need to configure the policies next.

Frankie 6 months ago

Haha, I bet the administrator is already sipping their coffee, thinking "piece of cake!"

Sommer 7 months ago

Hold up, don't forget to enable the inline interface pairs!

Fatima 7 months ago

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

Alexia 7 months ago

Definitely need to configure the security policies next!

Otis 7 months ago

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

Cristy 7 months ago

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

Jettie 8 months ago

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

Aliza 8 months ago

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

Aja 8 months ago

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.

Solange 9 months ago

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.

Alita 9 months ago

Okay, I've got this. The administrator needs to create an inline set and assign the interfaces to it to complete the inline IPS deployment.

Jaclyn 9 months ago

I'm a bit unsure about this one. Do we need to configure any inline sets or bypass interfaces as well?

Derick 9 months ago

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I think the next step would be to configure the security policies on the interfaces.

Right, policies will ensure proper traffic handling.

Arlie 3 months ago

Definitely! Can't overlook that step.
