Q: 1
An engineer is implementing Cisco FTD in the network and is determining which Firepower mode to use. The organization needs to have multiple virtual Firepower devices working separately inside of the FTD appliance to provide traffic segmentation Which deployment mode should be configured in the Cisco Firepower Management Console to support these requirements?

Option D Only multi-instance gets you actual separate virtual FTDs inside one appliance. The rest can't handle that requirement.
1
DMulti-instance lets you split the physical FTD into multiple virtual devices, so you can segment traffic as needed. I remember a similar question on a practice test, pretty sure this is what they're looking for. The others don't support true separation. Agree?
Q: 2
What is the role of realms in the Cisco ISE and Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center integration?
Options

5
Option C makes sense here. In Cisco Secure Firewall FMC, realms are used to map AD domains to VDCs for user ID integration, which lines up with what the official guides and practice tests say. I think B often gets confused because realms do reference AD, but their main function in this context is about mapping to the f
2
Some folks might pick D, but if you read closely the integration’s about VDC mapping so C.
Q: 3
Cisco Security Analytics and Logging SaaS licenses come with how many days of data retention by default?
Options
28 comments in the community discussion
4
C . Cisco SaaS logging defaults to 90 days retention unless you upgrade or tweak licensing, so C matches what I've seen in doc and labs. Pretty sure that's still accurate, unless Cisco changed something super recently.
2
Pretty sure it's C for the default retention period.
Q: 4
What is the advantage of having Cisco Firepower devices send events to Cisco Threat response via the security services exchange portal directly as opposed to using syslog?
Options
37 comments in the community discussion
5
Option D No proxy needed, which means way less setup and maintenance compared to syslog method. That's the main advantage I remember from lab guides. Pretty sure that's what exam is after, but lmk if someone disagrees.
5
C/D? I’m going with D since proxy config is the main trap, C’s just about versions which isn’t unique.
Q: 5
A network engineer must configure IPS mode on a Cisco Secure firewall Threat Defense device to inspect traffic and act as an IDS. The engineer already configured the passive-interface on the secure firewall threat Defence device and SPAN on the switch. What must be configured next by the engineer?
Options
31 comments in the community discussion
6
Option A is what I'd pick. After setting up SPAN and the passive interface, you have to apply an intrusion policy so the FTD inspects the mirrored traffic. That's how it works on real gear and matches what I've seen in similar exam questions. Agree?
3
Option A fits what I've seen in Cisco official guides and lab exercises. Once SPAN and the passive interface are set, configuring the intrusion policy is the step that actually tells FTD to inspect the mirrored traffic. Pretty sure that's the sequence, but if anyone has seen otherwise in recent labs let me know.
Q: 6
A security engineer must deploy a Cisco FTD appliance as a bump in the wire to detect intrusion events without disrupting the flow of network traffic. Which two features must be configured to accomplish the task? (Choose two.)
Options
32 comments in the community discussion
1
B/C here, but if they wanted the FTD to block threats not just detect, A would actually make sense instead.
1
Would C alone be enough, or is transparent mode (B) always needed for bump-in-the-wire deployments like this?
Q: 7
A network administrator is migrating from a Cisco ASA to a Cisco FTD. EIGRP is configured on the Cisco ASA but it is not available in the Cisco FMC. Which action must the administrator take to enable this feature on the Cisco FTD?
Options
27 comments in the community discussion
5
Option A
3
My pick: A. FlexConfig is the workaround for unsupported protocols like EIGRP on FTD, since FMC doesn't have a native option. Seen similar stuff in Cisco docs and labs, but someone correct me if that changed recently.
Q: 8
An engineer configures a network discovery policy on Cisco FMC. Upon configuration, it is noticed that excessive and misleading events filing the database and overloading the Cisco FMC. A monitored NAT device is executing multiple updates of its operating system in a short period of time. What configuration change must be made to alleviate this issue?
Options
25 comments in the community discussion
4
Option D excluding NAT devices, is what actually stops the overload. The other settings won’t stop those logs. Agree?
1
D
Q: 9
An organization is configuring a new Cisco Firepower High Availability deployment. Which action must be taken to ensure that failover is as seamless as possible to end users?
Options
35 comments in the community discussion
5
Option B
1
I don't think it's C here. The dedicated stateful link (B) actually syncs active sessions between chassis for seamless user experience. C is about software version compliance, but that alone won't keep connections alive on failover. B is the one to go for in this scenario.
Q: 10
What is a characteristic of bridge groups on a Cisco FTD?
Options
32 comments in the community discussion
5
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.
1
Probably B. Routed firewall mode allows bridge group routing, not transparent mode.
Q: 11
A security engineer must create a malware and file policy on a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense device. The solution must ensure that PDF. DOCX, and XLSX files are not sent lo Cisco Secure Malware analytics. What must do configured to meet the requirements''
Options
8 comments in the community discussion
1
C tbh, I thought dynamic analysis would let you filter what files get uploaded so you could exclude PDFs and docs. Maybe that's a common trap though if it still pushes them to the cloud. Open to correction here.
D , unless you do local malware analysis, PDFs and docs go to the cloud by default. Dynamic sends stuff up, but local keeps everything on-prem. Saw a similar question in practice, so pretty sure D is safest here.
Q: 12
A company has many Cisco FTD devices managed by a Cisco FMC. The security model requires that access control rule logs be collected for analysis. The security engineer is concerned that the Cisco FMC will not be able to process the volume of logging that will be generated. Which configuration addresses this concern?
Options
8 comments in the community discussion
1
Probably D since sending connection events straight from FTDs to the SIEM could help reduce FMC load, but does the question specify if both event types must be centralized before forwarding? If all events have to go through FMC, that would change things.
D , had something like this in a mock and picked D for offloading FMC.
Q: 13
An organization has a Cisco IPS running in inline mode and is inspecting traffic for malicious activity. When traffic is received by the Cisco IRS, if it is not dropped, how does the traffic get to its destination?
Options
9 comments in the community discussion
Anyone checked the official Cisco guide or labbed this with inline sets? Curious if A matches the hands-on.
C vs A-I'm pretty sure it's A for inline mode, since the IPS just retransmits from the inline set after inspection. C is tempting but only applies if it's in routed mode, which isn't mentioned here. Seen similar on practice, so leaning towards A but open to corrections if I'm missing something niche.
Q: 14
The event dashboard within the Cisco FMC has been inundated with low priority intrusion drop events, which are overshadowing high priority events. An engineer has been tasked with reviewing the policies and reducing the low priority events. Which action should be configured to accomplish this task?
Options
7 comments in the community discussion
Why would you pick D over B here? Doesn't "drop and generate" still flood the dashboard with logs?
B tbh came up on a practice set and matches what you'd want: block but don't log, so the noise goes away.
Q: 15
An engineer must configure a Cisco FMC dashboard in a multidomain deployment Which action must the engineer take to edit a report template from an ancestor domain?
Options
10 comments in the community discussion
2
If you want to edit a report template from an ancestor domain in Cisco FMC, you need to copy it to your current domain. So that's B. You can't directly edit the inherited one until it's copied over. Pretty sure that's how FMC handles template inheritance.
1
B imo, that's the only way to actually edit an inherited template. FMC doesn't let you change ancestor domain assets directly, so you have to copy it first. Saw similar behavior in practice. Someone correct me if I missed something here.
Q: 16
What is a functionality of port objects in Cisco FMC?
Options
7 comments in the community discussion
1
B. not A. A is a trap since port objects can't mix transport protocols.
1
Represents non-TCP/UDP/ICMP protocols, so B.
Q: 17
An engineer must configure the firewall to monitor traffic within a single subnet without increasing the hop count of that traffic. How would the engineer achieve this?
Options
6 comments in the community discussion
4
Option A
2
Its A. Transparent mode puts the Firepower inline at layer 2, so it inspects traffic without acting as a router or changing the hop count. Routed mode would bump hops. Seen this come up in practice labs, makes sense here.
Q: 18
Which two remediation options are available when Cisco FMC is integrated with Cisco ISE? (Choose two.)
Options
9 comments in the community discussion
I don’t think it’s C and D. B and D look more likely, since port shutdown is a classic ISE action and DHCP pool disablement is sometimes listed as a remediation step with network integrations. C feels like a trap here, but not 100% sure.
C/D? Port shutdown and quarantine are the supported ISE remediation actions, B is a distractor.
Q: 19
An organization is implementing Cisco FTD using transparent mode in the network. Which rule in the default Access Control Policy ensures that this deployment does not create a loop in the network?
Options
10 comments in the community discussion
1
B , because in transparent mode the default policy blocks all multicast and broadcast traffic, which is what can cause bridging loops if left unchecked. If the question was only about STP loops, then C would come into play. Anyone else think of a weird edge case here?
Pretty straightforward, it's B. Denying multicast and broadcast by default in transparent mode helps prevent L2 loops since those types of frames could flood and cause looping. Saw a similar question in some exam reports. Anyone disagree?
Q: 20
Which CLI command is used to control special handling of ClientHello messages?
Options

Anyone else check the official CLI guide or practice labs for this command? I’ve seen similar questions pop up in exam dumps and the wording is always close.
