Q: 10
What is a characteristic of bridge groups on a Cisco FTD?

Option B here. C looks like a trap since that's transparent mode-routing between bridge groups is only supported in routed firewall mode according to recent exam reports.
Probably B. Routed firewall mode allows bridge group routing, not transparent mode.
C or D for me. In transparent firewall mode, I thought bridge groups could support routing because the device just acts as a bump in the wire and passes traffic between VLANs. D is tempting too since router-on-a-stick is sometimes used for inter-VLAN stuff, so maybe that applies here. Not totally sure, let me know what you guys think.
Isn't the real difference here just routed vs transparent mode? Bridge group routing is only supported in routed mode, right? Transparent mode would block that, so C wouldn't fit for this scenario.
I don’t think it’s B, C feels right if it was transparent mode. Trap on the mode part.
Would option C make sense if they were asking about transparent firewall mode instead? Bridge groups in transparent mode seem to handle things differently, so just wondering if that could ever be right.
Yeah, for routed firewall mode it's definitely B. Routing between bridge groups is supported when FTD is running in routed mode, not transparent. Cisco docs and practice questions line up on that. Happy to hear if someone found otherwise though!
C is only valid for transparent mode, but this question mentions routed firewall mode so it's B. Routing between bridge groups gets supported in routed mode on FTD. Pretty sure about this but let me know if you see docs that say otherwise.
Yeah, B for routed mode. Bridge groups let you route between them on FTD if it's set that way.
Yeah, that's B. In routed mode you do get routing between bridge groups, seen this on some practice sets. C is more for transparent mode. Pretty sure this matches official docs but let me know if anyone disagrees.
Be respectful. No spam.
