A. Enable HTTP and define an access list
B. Enable HTTPS and SNMP under the Access List section
C. Enable SCP under the Access List section
D. Enable SSH and define an Access List

 

Answer: D

Explanation

From FMC version 6.3, we can Enable CLI Access on the System > Configuration > Console Configuration page.
• Checked: Logging into the FMC using SSH accesses the CLI.
• Unchecked: Logging into FMC using SSH accesses the Linux shell. This is the default state
for fresh Version 6.3 installations as well as upgrades to Version 6.3 from a previous release.

Reference: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/640/configuration/guide/fpmc-config-guide-v64/command_line_reference.pdf

To enter expert mode, use the expert command in the CLI to access the Linux shell. Users with Linux shell access can obtain root privileges, which can present a security risk. Therefore we should define an access-list to limit who can access the expert mode.

Question 65

Which feature is supported by IRB on Cisco FTD devices?

A. redundant interface
B. dynamic routing protocol
C. EtherChannel interface
D. high-availability cluster

 

Answer: A

Explanation

From this Cisco link:

With Integrated Routing and Bridging, you can use a “bridge group” where you group together multiple interfaces on a network, and the FTD device uses bridging techniques to pass traffic between the interfaces.

…

And in the “Unsupported Features for Bridge Groups in Routed Mode” section:

“Only physical interfaces, redundant interfaces, and subinterfaces are supported as bridge group member interfaces.” -> Answer A is correct.

Also in the “Unsupported Features in Routed Mode” section, “EtherChannel member interfaces” and “Clustering” are not supported -> Answer C and answer D are not correct.

In both “Unsupported Features in Transparent Mode” and “Unsupported Features in Routed Mode” sections, the “Dynamic routing protocols” is not supported -> Answer B is not correct.

Question 66

Question 69

An organization has a Cisco FTD that uses bridge groups to pass traffic from the inside interfaces to the outside interfaces. They are unable to gather information about neighbouring Cisco devices or use multicast in their environment. What must be done to resolve this issue?

A. Create a firewall rule to allow CDP traffic.
B. Create a bridge group with the firewall interfaces.
C. Change the firewall mode to transparent.
D. Change the firewall mode to routed.

 

Answer: C

Explanation

Bridge Groups in Routed Firewall Mode

…

In routed firewall mode, broadcast and multicast traffic is blocked even if you allow it in an access rule, including unsupported dynamic routing protocols and DHCP (unless you configure DHCP relay). Within a bridge group, you can allow this traffic with an access rule (using an extended ACL) -> Answer D is not correct.

Reference: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa913/configuration/general/asa-913-general-config/intro-fw.html

According to the question, we learn that this organization used bridge groups already -> Answer B is not correct.

Answer A seems to be not correct as the firewall rule only allows CDP traffic, not multicast traffic. So only answer C is left.

Note: Bridge groups are supported in both transparent and routed firewall mode.

Question 1

Which CLI command is used to control special handling of ClientHello messages?

A. system support ssl-client-hello-tuning
B. system support ssl-client-hello-display
C. system support ssl-client-hello-force-reset
D. system support ssl-client-hello-reset

 

Answer: A

Explanation

In fact there is no correct answer in this question, the correct answer should be “system support ssl-client-hello-enabled” which controls all special handling of ClientHello messages.

Reference: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/640/configuration/guide/fpmc-config-guide-v64/classic_device_command_line_reference.html

But we have to choose one best answer then “system support ssl-client-hello-tuning” is the best choice. It allows you to refine how the managed device modifies ClientHello messages during SSL handshakes. This command tunes the default lists of cipher suites, elliptic curves, and extensions that the system allows in ClientHello messages.

Question 30

Which two routing options are valid with Cisco Firepower Threat Defense? (Choose two)

A. BGPv6
B. ECMP with up to three equal cost paths across multiple interfaces
C. ECMP with up to three equal cost paths across a single interface
D. BGPv4 in transparent firewall mode
E. BGPv4 with nonstop forwarding

 

Answer: A C

Explanation

You can have up to 8 equal cost static or dynamic routes per interface (-> Answer C is correct). For example, you can configure multiple default routes on the outside interface that specify different gateways.

route for 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 through outside to 10.1.1.2
route for 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 through outside to 10.1.1.3
route for 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 through outside to 10.1.1.4

In this case, traffic is load-balanced on the outside interface between 10.1.1.2, 10.1.1.3, and 10.1.1.4. Traffic is distributed among the specified gateways based on an algorithm that hashes the source and destination IP addresses, incoming interface, protocol, source and destination ports.

Answer: B C

Explanation

Cisco Trust Anchor Technologies provide a highly secure foundation for certain Cisco products. They enable hardware and software authenticity assurance for supply chain trust and strong mitigation against a man-in-the-middle compromise of software and firmware. Trust Anchor capabilities include:

+ Image signing: Cryptographically signed images provide assurance that the firmware, BIOS, and other software are authentic and unmodified. As the system boots, the system’s software signatures are checked for integrity.

+ Secure Boot: Secure Boot anchors the boot sequence chain of trust to immutable hardware, mitigating threats against a system’s foundational state and the software that is to be loaded, regardless of a user’s privilege level. It provides layered protection against the persistence of illicitly modified firmware.

+ Trust Anchor module: A tamper-resistant, strong-cryptographic, single-chip solution provides hardware authenticity assurance to uniquely identify the product so that its origin can be confirmed to Cisco, providing assurance that the product is genuine.

Question 48

Which two characteristics represent a Cisco device operating in tap mode? (Choose two)

A. It analyzes copies of packets from the packet flow
B. The device is deployed in a passive configuration
C. If a rule is triggered the device generates an intrusion event.
D. The packet flow traverses the device
E. If a rule is triggered the device drops the packet

 

Answer: A B

Explanation

With tap mode, the device is deployed inline, but instead of the packet flow passing through the device, a copy of each packet is sent to the device and the network traffic flow is undisturbed. The copy of traffic will be inspected -> Answer A is correct.

Answer B is correct as the device monitors traffic without being inline and if the device fails, traffic is unaffected (passive configuration).

Although answer C is correct but it does not unique to tap mode. Inline mode also generates events.

A. by denying outbound web access
B. Cisco Talos will automatically update the policies.
C. by isolating the endpoint
D. by creating a URL object in the policy to block the website

 

Answer: D

Explanation

This question is unclear as:

+ “in the quickest way possible”: block the website in the policy is the quickest way to solve as it takes effect immediately. We don’t have to wait for Talos to update while malware may continue coming to our organization -> Answer D is correct.

+ “be addresses globally”: not sure if “globally” in the organization or in the world. If it is “in the world” then answer B is correct. If it is “in the organization” only, then along with above explanation, answer D is the best choice.
+ “least amount of impact”: this makes answer A and answer C not correct.

In practical, the best solution is answer D as we must block the malware immediately. Talos will not rely on our malware report solely to update its database and it may take long time for Talos to block that website -> Answer D is the best choice.
