300-710 SNCF Deployment Practice Question
An administrator is deploying Cisco Secure Firewall Virtual in a Microsoft Azure environment using automated templates. The deployment requires multiple network interfaces for management, internal, and external zones. How does Azure assign IP configurations to these virtual network interfaces (NICs)?
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
✓
Azure assigns IP configurations via DHCP directly to each attached virtual NIC, which must correspond to the FMC interface settings.
Azure allocates private IP addresses from the Azure Virtual Network (VNet) subnet via DHCP to the virtual machine's NICs, which must then match the interface configuration defined in the firewall deployment template.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Azure relies on stateful ARP broadcasts to dynamically allocate IPs to virtual firewall subinterfaces.
Why it's wrong here
Azure networking does not support traditional ARP broadcasts in the same manner as bare-metal switches.
- ✓
Azure assigns IP configurations via DHCP directly to each attached virtual NIC, which must correspond to the FMC interface settings.
Why this is correct
Azure VNets provide IP addresses via DHCP to the guest OS interfaces, which are mapped inside the firewall configuration.
- ✗
IP addresses must be manually hardcoded inside the cloud-init script using API tokens.
Why it's wrong here
While cloud-init can pass parameters, Azure NIC IP allocation is primarily managed via Azure networking and DHCP.
- ✗
The firewall assigns static IP addresses to the Azure fabric controllers via BGP peering.
Why it's wrong here
Azure fabric controllers do not receive IP assignments from virtual firewalls via BGP.
