300-710 SNCF Deployment Practice Question

An administrator is configuring a secure firewall deployment in an environment where dynamic routing via OSPF is required across multiple security zones. Which configuration requirement must be met on the Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

OSPF must be enabled globally, associated with specific areas, and enabled on the specific routed interfaces belonging to security zones.

OSPF on FTD requires configuring OSPF routing processes via FMC, defining areas, enabling router IDs, and explicitly identifying the interfaces participating in OSPF routing.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • OSPF neighbor adjacencies must terminate on the firewall management interface.

    Why it's wrong here

    OSPF runs on data interfaces, never the management interface.

  • OSPF requires all participating interfaces to be assigned to the exact same security zone.

    Why it's wrong here

    Interfaces belong to different zones (e.g., inside, outside, DMZ) while running OSPF.

  • OSPF must be enabled globally, associated with specific areas, and enabled on the specific routed interfaces belonging to security zones.

    Why this is correct

    Dynamic routing protocols like OSPF are configured globally and enabled per routed interface.

  • OSPF can only be enabled on transparent bridge virtual interfaces (BVIs).

    Why it's wrong here

    OSPF requires routed mode; it is not supported in transparent mode.
