300-710 SNCF Practice Test 7 — 10 Questions

Question 1

When a packet capture is running on the FTD, where can you download the resulting .pcap file for analysis in Wireshark?

Accepted Answer

Devices > Device Management > Captures. Packet capture files (.pcap) generated on the FTD can be downloaded from Devices > Device Management > Captures in the FMC GUI. This page lists active and completed captures and provides a download option for the resulting pcap file, which can then be opened in Wireshark for detailed analysis. It is the designated location for managing and retrieving capture files.

Answer

Devices > Device Management > Diagnostics

Answer

System > Tools > File Transfer

Answer

Objects > File Lists

Answer

Analysis > Packet Analysis

Question 2

An engineer is troubleshooting a Cisco ISE and Secure Firewall pxGrid integration. The administrator notices that user group memberships are not populating correctly on the FTD, even though IP-to-user mappings are visible. What is the most likely reason user group information is missing?

Accepted Answer

ISE is not configured to include user group attributes in pxGrid publication feeds, or the FMC requires direct LDAP/AD integration to resolve user group hierarchies.. While pxGrid shares IP-to-user mappings, user group attribute resolution often relies on Active Directory integration or LDAP directory configurations mapped within ISE or synchronized via Active Directory Agent / ISE Active Directory attribute retrieval. If ISE is not configured to publish user group attributes over pxGrid or if the FMC lacks AD LDAP integration to resolve the groups, group-based rules will fail.

Answer

The FMC eStreamer service is blocking group attribute propagation.

Answer

User groups can only be resolved via RADIUS accounting attributes, making pxGrid fundamentally incompatible with user group filtering.

Answer

The FTD Snort engine must be configured with a local flat file containing all user group names.

Question 3

When editing an Access Control Rule, which action allows you to drop traffic while simultaneously sending a TCP RST to the client?

Accepted Answer

Block with Reset. The 'Block with Reset' action drops the connection and sends a reset packet to notify the sender.

Answer

Interactive Block

Answer

Block

Answer

Trust

Question 4

You are deploying an FTD in a cloud environment and need to ensure high availability. Which technology is typically used to manage the virtual IP failover?

Accepted Answer

Cloud API calls to update route tables.. In cloud environments, FTD high availability failover is managed by cloud API calls that update route tables to redirect traffic from the failed instance to the standby instance. Because cloud providers like AWS and Azure do not support traditional Layer 2 protocols such as VRRP or gratuitous ARP for floating IPs, the FTD uses cloud-native mechanisms (e.g., AWS API calls to reassign an Elastic IP or update route tables) to achieve failover. This is the standard HA approach for FTDv in public clouds.

Answer

VRRP.

Answer

EtherChannel hashing.

Answer

Gratuitous ARP.

Question 5

What is the result of assigning a 'Trust' action to a rule in an Access Control Policy?

Accepted Answer

Traffic is permitted without inspection. Trust allows traffic through the firewall without any further inspection by the Snort engine.

Answer

Traffic is inspected by IPS

Answer

Traffic is blocked

Answer

Traffic is decrypted

Question 6

Which component in an FTD cluster handles the 'Health Check' process to determine if a node is still active?

Accepted Answer

Cluster control link.. The cluster control link is used to exchange heartbeats and health information between cluster members to verify node status.

Answer

Primary management IP.

Answer

The standby unit's data interface.

Answer

FMC communication channel.

Question 7

You are configuring an NGIPS mode deployment on an FTD device. You need to ensure that the FTD can drop malicious traffic in real-time. Which mode must you select?

Accepted Answer

Inline Mode. Inline Mode places the FTD directly in the traffic path so packets must traverse the sensor, allowing it to drop malicious frames in real time before they reach the protected host. This is the only NGIPS deployment mode that supports blocking/drop actions; the other modes are detection-only.

Answer

Promiscuous Mode

Answer

Bypass Mode

Answer

Passive Mode

Question 8

An administrator is performing health monitoring on an FMC appliance. Which TWO health monitors are available out-of-the-box in the FMC Health Monitor dashboard to track system resource utilization? (Choose two)

Accepted Answer

CPU Utilization. The FMC Health Monitor dashboard ships with a set of default, out-of-the-box monitors that focus on appliance-level system resources, and CPU Utilization (A) is one of them, tracking processor load on the FMC so administrators can detect performance degradation. Disk Utilization (B) is also a built-in monitor, reporting how full the FMC's disk partitions are, which is critical because a full disk can halt logging, event storage, and database operations. Both A and B are standard system-resource monitors present by default without any additional configuration. The other options do not belong: SSL Handshake Latency (C) is not a default FMC health monitor, SNMP Trap Queue Depth (D) is not an out-of-the-box FMC system-resource monitor, and BGP Peer Flap Counter (E) relates to routing protocol state rather than FMC appliance resource utilization.

Answer

SSL Handshake Latency

Answer

SNMP Trap Queue Depth

Answer

BGP Peer Flap Counter

Question 9

An administrator needs to create a custom Application filter object in the FMC to easily select cloud storage applications in Access Control rules. Where are application filters created?

Accepted Answer

Objects > Object Management > Application Filters. Application Filters are reusable objects created under Objects > Object Management > Application Filters in the FMC. They let administrators group applications by characteristics such as category, risk, business relevance, or tags, so a single filter can be referenced in Access Control rules instead of listing dozens of individual applications. This is the canonical location for creating custom application filter objects.

Answer

Devices > Device Management > Apps

Answer

System > Configuration > Application Database

Answer

Policies > Access Control > Applications

Question 10

An administrator configures pxGrid integration between Cisco ISE and Secure Firewall Management Center. During the pxGrid certificate generation on ISE, the administrator must export the client certificate and keystore. What format must the client keystore be in when importing it into the FMC to establish the pxGrid trust relationship?

Accepted Answer

PKCS#12 (.pfx/.p12) bundle containing the client certificate, private key, and CA certificate.. The pxGrid client keystore must be a PKCS#12 (.pfx/.p12) bundle because FMC needs the client certificate, its matching private key, and the CA certificate together in one password-protected container to authenticate to the ISE pxGrid controller. ISE's pxGrid certificate generation workflow explicitly produces a .p12 file for download, and FMC's pxGrid client import expects exactly that bundle. Without the private key and CA chain in the same file, the TLS mutual-authentication handshake with ISE cannot complete.

Answer

Plaintext DER binary format without private keys.

Answer

Microsoft Exchange Web Services (EWS) XML format.

Answer

Java KeyStore (.jks) format exclusively.
