True, but without STP, loops can still happen. C is safer.

I'm just hoping the default policy doesn't include "Deny all the things!" - that would be a real loop-de-loop.

I feel like allowing ARP packets is crucial, but I don't know if that directly addresses the loop issue in transparent mode.

I practiced a similar question where multicast packets were involved, and I think they were denied by default, which might help here.

I think the key here is B. Denying multicast and broadcast packets by default would be a way to prevent loops in a transparent deployment. The other options don't seem as directly relevant.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know Cisco FTD can operate in transparent mode, but I'm not sure how the default policy handles things like STP and ARP. Gonna have to review my notes.

I think it might be related to STP BPDU packets, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right choice.

Okay, I've got a strategy. I'll focus on the default policy settings and how they impact layer 2 protocols and broadcast/multicast traffic. That should point me to the right answer.

Hmm, this seems tricky. I'm not super familiar with Cisco FTD and transparent mode, so I'll need to think through the network implications carefully.

I think the key here is to understand how Cisco FTD in transparent mode affects the network topology. The default policy needs to handle things like ARP and STP to avoid loops.

Yes, but it mainly helps with ARP spoofing, not loops.
