300-710 SNCF Deployment Practice Question
An engineer is deploying a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense Virtual (FTDv) in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The architecture requires multiple network interfaces. How does GCP map these interfaces during deployment?
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
✓
GCP allows multiple discrete NICs per instance, with nic0 assigned to management and subsequent NICs mapped to data subnets.
GCP allows multiple Network Interface Cards (NICs) on a single compute instance, where nic0 is typically assigned for management and subsequent nic1, nic2, etc., are assigned for 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.
- ✗
GCP requires all data traffic to pass through an external HTTP(S) load balancer before reaching nic0.
Why it's wrong here
Direct traffic routing via custom routes and multiple NICs is standard practice.
- ✓
GCP allows multiple discrete NICs per instance, with nic0 assigned to management and subsequent NICs mapped to data subnets.
Why this is correct
GCP supports multi-NIC instances where nic0 is reserved for management and additional NICs handle internal and external data traffic.
- ✗
GCP supports only a single interface per VM; all VLAN subinterfaces must be trunked through nic0.
Why it's wrong here
GCP supports multiple discrete NICs per virtual machine instance.
- ✗
GCP virtual machines cannot be managed by Cisco FMC; they require deployment via Google Deployment Manager only.
Why it's wrong here
FTDv in GCP is fully manageable via Cisco FMC or CDO after registration.
