Review important concepts, practice scenario-based questions, and use clear explanations to identify areas that require further study.

Question#1

You have five public IP addresses available from your ISP. When you create a Static NAT action,
you want to specify one of the public IP addresses for inbound traffic but do not see it in the IP address drop-down list.
How can you change the Firebox configuration to see additional public IP addresses in the Static NAT action? (Select one.)

A. Add secondary IP addresses to the external interface
B. Configure 1-to-1 NAT for your entire subnet
C. Add the public IP addresses to the From field of the policy that uses the Static NAT action
D. Enable the Set Source IP option in the policy
E. Add the IP addresses to the Dynamic NAT configuration

Explanation:
To use additional public IP addresses in a Static NAT action, you need to add them as secondary IP addresses to the external interface on the Firebox. By adding these IPs as secondary addresses, they become selectable options in the Static NAT configuration, allowing inbound traffic to be routed based on specific public IPs allocated by the ISP.

Question#2

Before packets are examined by Default Threat Protection, they are processed by firewall policies in top-down order.

A. True
B. False

Explanation:
In Firebox configuration, packets are processed by firewall policies in atop-down orderbefore they reach Default Threat Protection. This ordering ensures that the firewall policies defined higher in the policy list take precedence. Packets are evaluated against each rule sequentially from top to bottom until a matching policy is found, which then determines the action taken (allow, deny, or inspect further). Only after this process will any unfiltered traffic be subject to Default Threat Protection for additional security checks.

Question#3

You configured a Firebox for a school environment. Students must have more restricted access than teachers, and unauthenticated users cannot have any Internet access. You added Student and Teacher groups to your proxy policies that handle web traffic. Based on the image below, this configuration can accomplish your goals.


A. True
B. False

Explanation:
The image shows a configuration for a school environment with separate HTTP and HTTPS proxy policies for Students and Teachers. This separation allows for different levels of access control based on group membership, providing more restrictive access for students compared to teachers. This configuration meets the requirements by:

Question#4

In the network configuration shown in this image, which aliases include Eth2 as a member? (Select three.)


A. Any-Trusted
B. Optional-1
C. Any-External
D. Any-Optional
E. Any

Explanation:
In the network configuration image provided, the interfaceOptional-1is mapped to Eth2. Here’s how the aliases work:
Aliases like Any-Trusted and Any-External would not include Eth2 since it is configured as an Optional interface, not Trusted or External.

Question#5

With the policies configured as shown in this image, HTTP traffic can be sent and received through Branch Office VPN tunnel 1 and tunnel 2.


A. True
B. False

Explanation:
The image shows firewall policies allowing HTTP traffic through Branch Office VPN (BOVPN) tunnel 1 and tunnel 2:
These configurations indicate that HTTP traffic is permitted through both tunnels, enabling it to be sent and received across BOVPN tunnels 1 and 2. Thus, users on either end of these VPN tunnels can transmit HTTP traffic successfully.
