Which two statements are true about the differences between a stateful firewall and a next-generation firewall (NGFW) in a Versa solution? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, D

The correct answers are A and D. A Versa stateful firewall primarily enforces security by tracking connection state and matching packet/session information such as source, destination, zones, services, protocol, and L3/L4 attributes. Versa's CLI configuration guide shows stateful firewall access-policy match options for source and destination addresses, services, IP version, IP flags, DSCP, TTL, and also optional application and URL-category match fields when enhanced services are available.

A Versa NGFW extends this inspection model by adding deeper Layer 7 and UTM capabilities, such as IDS/IPS, antivirus, URL filtering, file or data filtering, and application-aware enforcement. Versa's SD-WAN design guide specifically describes internet security using the Versa next-generation firewall with unified threat management features, including IDS/IPS and antivirus inspection for DIA traffic. Licensing is also a valid distinction: Versa's SD-WAN licensing overview describes NGFW features as part of solution tiers, so the availability of advanced security functions depends on the licensed tier or subscription

Wait, are stateful firewalls really that limited? I thought they could do more!

I disagree with B, I thought stateful firewalls had some version restrictions too.

I believe that stateful firewalls are more basic and can work with any VOS version, while NGFWs need specific versions, but I need to double-check that.

I’m a bit confused about the licensing part; I feel like both firewalls might have different licensing requirements, but I can’t remember the details.

I think I practiced a question similar to this, and I recall that NGFWs have more advanced logging features compared to stateful firewalls.

I remember that stateful firewalls mainly look at L2 to L4, but I’m not entirely sure about the specifics of NGFW capabilities.
