Question 1

**Case Study**

A large Managed Service Provider (MSP) is deploying a multi-tenant security architecture using a Cisco Firepower 9300 chassis. The goal is to provide dedicated firewall instances to three distinct customers (Tenant A, Tenant B, and Tenant C) while maintaining strict isolation and resource guarantees.

**Architecture Details:**
- **Chassis**: Firepower 9300 with two SM-44 security modules.
- **Requirement 1**: Tenant A requires high throughput (40 Gbps) and must be isolated on its own hardware resources.
- **Requirement 2**: Tenants B and C have lower throughput needs (10 Gbps each) and can share a security module but must have separate management and data planes.
- **Requirement 3**: All tenants require independent upgrades and policy management.

**Current Configuration:**
- The administrator plans to use Native/Container instances.
- A single Firepower Management Center (FMC) 4600 will manage all instances.

Based on the requirements, which deployment strategy on the FXOS chassis is valid and optimal?

Accepted Answer

Deploy Tenant A as a Native Instance on SM-1. Deploy Tenants B and C as Container Instances on SM-2.

Answer

Deploy Tenant A as a Container Instance on SM-1. Deploy Tenants B and C as Contexts within a single Native Instance on SM-2.

Answer

Deploy all tenants as Native Instances spanning both security modules using Clustering.

Answer

Configure VRF-Lite on a single Native Instance running on SM-1 for all three tenants.

Question 2

A security engineer is troubleshooting a Firepower 2100 series appliance that is not accepting new configuration deployments from the FMC. The engineer suspects a communication issue between the management plane and the data plane. Which command should be entered in the FTD CLI to verify the status of the management processes?

Accepted Answer

pmtool status | grep -i manager

Answer

show failover state

Answer

system support firewall-engine-debug

Answer

show snort statistics

Question 3

An administrator is configuring Security Intelligence on a Cisco FMC to block traffic from known malicious IPs. The organization subscribes to a third-party threat feed that provides a text list of IP addresses updated every 2 hours. How should this feed be integrated into the Security Intelligence policy?

Accepted Answer

Create a Security Intelligence Object using the 'Feed' type, specify the URL and update frequency, and add it to the Block list in the Security Intelligence policy.

Answer

Manually import the text file into a Network Group object every 2 hours and apply it to an Access Control Rule with a 'Block' action.

Answer

Configure the Threat Intelligence Director (TID) to ingest the feed via STIX/TAXII and publish it to the Access Control Policy.

Answer

Use the 'TID-Global-Block' object in the Prefilter Policy to drop traffic from the IPs in the feed.

Question 4

A network engineer needs to configure a Firepower 4100 series appliance. The goal is to allocate specific interfaces to a Logical Device. Which CLI environment must the engineer access to perform this interface allocation?

Accepted Answer

FXOS CLI

Answer

FTD CLISH

Answer

Expert Shell

Answer

FMC GUI Device Management

Question 5

Which of the following scenarios best describes the use of the Threat Intelligence Director (TID) in a Cisco Firepower deployment? (Select TWO)

Accepted Answer

Ingesting third-party threat feeds in STIX/TAXII format.

Accepted Answer

Automating the blocking of traffic based on ingested SHA-256 observables.

Answer

Managing software upgrades for multiple FTD devices simultaneously.

Answer

Configuring site-to-site VPN topologies between FTD devices.

Question 6

True or False: When configuring a Network Discovery Policy, enabling 'Users' discovery requires a connection to an identity source (such as ISE or an Active Directory Agent) to map IP addresses to usernames.

Accepted Answer

True

Answer

False

Question 7

While investigating a performance issue, a security administrator notices that the Snort 3 process on an FTD appliance is utilizing a high amount of memory. Unlike Snort 2, which used a process-based model, Snort 3 uses a thread-based model. What is a key advantage of this architectural change in Snort 3?

Accepted Answer

It allows multiple packet processing threads to share a single control plane and configuration, reducing memory footprint and allowing faster configuration reloads.

Answer

It eliminates the need for the Data Acquisition (DAQ) library, allowing direct hardware access.

Answer

It forces all traffic to be inspected by a single thread to ensure state consistency.

Answer

It moves all preprocessor functions to the FPGA to offload the main CPU.

Question 8

A network architect is designing a High Availability (HA) pair of FTD devices. To ensure a successful Active/Standby configuration, which of the following conditions must be met? (Select THREE)

Accepted Answer

Both devices must be the same model and hardware revision.

Accepted Answer

Both devices must be running the exact same software version.

Accepted Answer

Both devices must have the same license types (Smart License entitlements) enabled.

Answer

Both devices must have different NTP server configurations to prevent time loops.

Answer

One device must be in Routed mode and the other in Transparent mode.
