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
✓
Create an OSPF routing process and define the OSPF area ID in FMC under Device Routing settings.
OSPF setup on FTD requires enabling the OSPF process globally and configuring the specific interfaces within the area with correct parameters.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Set the firewall operating mode to passive NGIPS.
Why it's wrong here
Passive NGIPS does not run routing protocols.
- ✗
Configure the management interface as an OSPF passive interface.
Why it's wrong here
Management interfaces never run dynamic routing protocols.
- ✓
Create an OSPF routing process and define the OSPF area ID in FMC under Device Routing settings.
Why this is correct
Enabling the OSPF process and defining areas in FMC is the first step.
- ✗
Configure a Bridge Virtual Interface (BVI) for every OSPF neighbor.
Why it's wrong here
BVIs are for transparent mode bridging, not OSPF.
- ✓
Enable OSPF on the desired routed interfaces participating in the routing exchange.
Why this is correct
Interfaces must be explicitly enabled for OSPF participation.
