300-710 SNCF Deployment Practice Question
An administrator is deploying a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense Virtual (FTDv) on-premises using a KVM hypervisor. During the initial deployment, the virtual machine fails to boot and console logs indicate an issue with interface mapping. What is a key requirement for physical interface mapping on KVM-based FTDv deployments?
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
✓
Interface eth0 must be dedicated exclusively to the management network, and data interfaces must follow a strict sequential mapping starting with eth1.
KVM deployments require correct mapping of virtual NICs (vNICs) to specific bridge or SR-IOV interfaces, where eth0 is strictly reserved for management, eth1 for internal, and eth2 for external data traffic.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
KVM requires SR-IOV drivers for the management interface only.
Why it's wrong here
SR-IOV can be used for data performance enhancement, not just management.
- ✗
Management must be mapped to eth2 while data interfaces use eth0 and eth1.
Why it's wrong here
eth0 is always reserved for management.
- ✓
Interface eth0 must be dedicated exclusively to the management network, and data interfaces must follow a strict sequential mapping starting with eth1.
Why this is correct
The FTDv architecture demands eth0 for management, with subsequent interfaces mapped sequentially for internal/external data planes.
- ✗
All interfaces must be bundled into a single virtio bridge without VLAN tagging.
Why it's wrong here
VLAN tagging is fully supported and individual interfaces are mapped separately.
