Question 1hardmultiple choice

Review the full routing breakdown →

An engineer is configuring static route tracking on a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense to ensure high availability for outbound internet connectivity. A backup static route is configured with a higher metric. What mechanism does the firewall use to dynamically switch from the primary route to the backup route when the primary next-hop fails?

A
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) or ICMP ping SLA trackers that monitor the next-hop IP.
Static route tracking relies on SLA monitor objects using ICMP echo or BFD to probe the primary next-hop. When probes fail, the tracked route is removed from the routing table, letting the higher-metric backup route become active and restoring outbound connectivity.
B
STP topology change notifications received on the tracked interface.
Why it fails: STP topology change notifications are Layer 2 events on switched segments and carry no information about the reachability of a Layer 3 next-hop. They are tempting because STP reconvergence does restore connectivity after a link failure, which is the correct mechanism when the requirement is Layer 2 loop prevention and path failover.
C
FMC heartbeat loss detection between the firewall and the gateway.
Why it fails: FMC heartbeat loss only reflects management-plane connectivity between the manager and the firewall; it does not probe the primary next-hop, so a failed gateway leaves the tracked route up. It is tempting because FMC heartbeats do detect unreachable managed devices, which is the correct mechanism when the requirement is monitoring firewall health.
D
Automatic generation of dynamic OSPF neighbor adjacencies over the static interface.
Why it fails: Static route tracking relies on object or SLA tracking, not on forming OSPF adjacencies; the firewall does not auto-generate dynamic neighbours over a static interface. It is tempting because OSPF reconvergence does reroute around failed next-hops, which is the correct choice when the design already runs a dynamic routing protocol.

Question 2mediummulti select

When analyzing performance issues, which THREE metrics should an administrator monitor in the FMC Health Monitor?

A
CPU utilization
High CPU directly impacts packet processing.
B
Memory utilization
Memory utilisation is one of the three metrics the FMC Health Monitor tracks, alongside CPU usage and disk utilisation. Sustained high memory consumption on the Firepower Management Center degrades event processing and correlation, directly addressing the performance-analysis constraint in the stem. Monitoring it lets administrators detect resource exhaustion before it disrupts policy deployment or logging.
C
Disk utilization
Disk utilisation is a core FMC Health Monitor metric because sustained high disk I/O delays event logging, correlation and database writes, degrading inspection throughput. Monitoring it satisfies the stem's performance-analysis requirement by exposing storage bottlenecks that throttle the appliance before CPU or interface counters reveal any problem.
D
User login frequency
Why it fails: Login frequency measures identity activity, not the interface throughput, CPU and memory statistics the Health Monitor reports for managed devices. It is tempting because authentication dashboards do surface login counts, but that belongs to access auditing, not to diagnosing FMC performance degradation.
E
Number of active GUI sessions
Why it fails: Active GUI sessions measures administrative interface usage, not device or traffic performance, so it cannot diagnose throughput, latency or connection problems. It is tempting because it appears in the Health Monitor dashboard, and it would be correct when assessing management-plane load or administrative session capacity.

Question 3hardmultiple choice

Review the full routing breakdown →

An administrator is troubleshooting asymmetric routing issues across an FTD firewall using the FMC connection events and FTD CLI. The administrator wants to disable TCP state bypass or adjust TCP normalization settings to allow non-synchronized SYN packets through for a specific application. Where are TCP normalization and stateful inspection parameters configured for FTD?

A
Policies > Access Control > Advanced > Network Settings
Why it fails: Advanced > Network Settings under an access control policy governs prefilter and intrusion-related network options, not TCP normalisation or stateful inspection, which reside in the access control policy's advanced TCP settings. It tempts because that pane does expose several connection-handling toggles, but not the TCP state bypass controls required here.
B
Objects > Object Management > Advanced > TCP State
Why it fails: Object Management holds reusable elements such as network, port, and URL objects; TCP state bypass and normalisation are policy-level settings, not standalone objects. It tempts administrators who expect a configurable TCP State object, but FTD exposes these parameters only inside the access control policy's advanced options.
C
Devices > Platform Settings > Edit Policy > Stateful Inspection / TCP Settings
TCP normalisation and stateful inspection parameters, including TCP state bypass behaviour, live under Devices > Platform Settings > Stateful Inspection / TCP Settings, not in access control policy. This satisfies the stem's need to permit non-synchronised SYN packets for a specific application.
D
System > Configuration > Global Parameters > TCP
Why it fails: TCP normalisation and stateful inspection parameters sit within the FTD access control policy's advanced settings, not under a global system menu; System > Configuration holds platform-level items such as management access and licensing. It tempts administrators expecting a device-wide TCP tuning page, which FTD does not provide.

Question 4easymultiple choice

An administrator wants to generate a health report on the FMC to present hardware utilization trends over the past 30 days. Which section of the FMC GUI provides pre-built health reports and metric tracking?

A
Policies > Actions > Health Reporting
Why it fails: Policies > Actions holds policy-related tasks, not pre-built health reports or metric tracking, so it cannot present 30-day hardware utilisation trends. It is tempting because the word 'Health' appears in its name, but that path concerns policy actions, whereas the correct section provides the actual reporting dashboards.
B
Devices > Device Management > Health Status
Why it fails: Device Management shows individual device health status and connectivity, not aggregated pre-built reports tracking hardware utilisation over 30 days. It is tempting because it displays health information, and it would be correct for checking whether a specific managed device is up, in sync, or reporting problems.
C
Analysis > Health > Monitor
Analysis > Health > Monitor provides pre-built health reports and metric tracking, directly satisfying the requirement for hardware utilisation trends over 30 days. Unlike the dashboards under Overview, which show only current status, this section retains historical metrics and generates exportable reports covering the specified period.
D
System > Monitoring > Syslog
Why it fails: Syslog forwards event messages to external collectors; it does not generate pre-built health reports or track hardware utilisation trends over 30 days. It is tempting because syslog captures device events, and it would be the right choice when exporting raw log data to a SIEM for external correlation.

Question 5hardmultiple choice

An administrator is configuring static route tracking on a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense device managed by FMC. A tracked IP address becomes unreachable, and the primary static route is removed from the routing table. What mechanism does FTD use to verify the reachability of the tracked destination?

A
ARP request polling sent every 3 seconds to the default gateway MAC address
Why it fails: FTD's static route tracking uses ICMP echo requests to the tracked IP, not ARP polling of the gateway MAC. ARP resolves layer-2 addresses on the local segment; it cannot verify end-to-end reachability of an arbitrary tracked destination across routed hops, which is what the SLA monitor requires.
B
ICMP Echo or TCP Connect probes managed by IP SLA tracking objects
ICMP Echo or TCP Connect probes, configured as IP SLA tracking objects, actively test the tracked destination's reachability. When probes fail, the object state changes and the associated static route is withdrawn from the routing table, satisfying the stem's requirement to detect an unreachable tracked IP and remove the primary route.
C
Continuous bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) sessions initiated directly from the routing daemon process
Why it fails: Static route tracking relies on ICMP echo replies from the tracked address; BFD is a separate protocol requiring configuration on both peers and is not what the SLA monitor invokes. BFD would be the right mechanism when sub-second failure detection between two BFD-capable devices is needed.
D
SNMP trap polling managed by the Firepower Management Center correlation engine
Why it fails: Reachability is verified locally by the FTD device sending ICMP echo requests, not by FMC via SNMP traps. SNMP polling is for monitoring and alerting on device state, so it would fit a management or reporting requirement, not dynamic removal of a static route from the routing table.

Question 6hardmultiple choice

Review the full routing breakdown →

An administrator is configuring static route tracking on a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense deployment to handle link failure. If the tracked object goes down, the static route should be removed from the routing table. Where is this configuration managed when using Cisco FMC?

A
Under Devices > Device Management > Routing > Static Route, by editing the route and selecting a Monitor Track object.
Editing the static route under Devices > Device Management > Routing > Static Route lets you attach a Track object, so the route is withdrawn from the routing table when the tracked object goes down. This satisfies the stem's requirement that link failure removes the route, and FMC pushes the tracked static route configuration to the managed threat defence device.
B
Under Policies > Access Control > Routing Policies, by enabling SLA tracking hooks.
Why it fails: Access control policies filter traffic; they hold no routing table or SLA tracking configuration, so static route tracking cannot be enabled there. It tempts because FMC groups many policy types under Policies, and access control would be correct for rule-based traffic inspection.
C
Under System > Configuration > High Availability > Route Tracking.
Why it fails: High Availability configuration covers failover and clustering settings, not static route tracking, which belongs with the device's routing configuration in FMC. It tempts because link failure handling sounds like redundancy, and High Availability would be correct when configuring failover between paired Threat Defense devices.
D
Under Objects > Object Management > SIEM > Route Track.
Why it fails: Object Management stores reusable objects such as networks and SLA monitors, not route tracking parameters; the tracked object is referenced from the static route itself. It tempts because SLA monitors are created as objects, and Object Management would be correct when defining the monitor that the route tracks.
