Master Cisco Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower 300-710: Your Gateway to Network Defense Excellence

Correct : D

The Encrypted Visibility Engine (EVE) in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center is enabled under the SSL tab of an access control policy. EVE provides visibility into encrypted traffic, allowing the firewall to detect threats even when traffic is encrypted.

Steps to enable EVE:

Navigate to the access control policy in FMC.

Go to the SSL tab.

Enable Encrypted Visibility Engine (EVE) to analyze encrypted traffic.

This configuration helps in identifying and mitigating threats within encrypted traffic without the need for full decryption.

Correct : A

To connect to a Secure Endpoint private cloud instance from Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC), the network engineer requires the SSL certificate for the Secure Endpoint private cloud instance. This SSL certificate is necessary to establish a secure, trusted connection between the FMC and the private cloud instance.

Steps:

Obtain the SSL certificate from the server administrator.

Import the SSL certificate into the FMC.

Configure the connection to the Secure Endpoint private cloud instance using the provided hostname and SSL certificate.

This ensures a secure and authenticated connection to the private cloud instance.

Correct : D

When performing packet capture on a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) device, ensuring that the allocated memory is sufficient is crucial for capturing all necessary traffic during a specified capture session. If users experience issues accessing a server and the engineer suspects not all traffic was collected, it indicates that the current memory allocation might not be enough to store the entire capture data for the 15-minute session.

Steps:

Check the current memory allocation for packet captures on the FTD device.

Increase the memory allocation if it is insufficient to handle the volume of traffic expected during the capture session.

This ensures that all relevant traffic is captured and can be analyzed to diagnose and resolve the network issue.

Correct : B

If users report that Cisco Duo 2FA fails when attempting to connect to the VPN on a Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) device, and the VPN troubleshooting log in FMC shows an error indicating that the Cisco Duo AAA server has been marked as failed, the root cause is likely missing Duo trust certificates on the FTD device. Trust certificates are essential for establishing a secure and trusted connection between the FTD and the Duo authentication service.

Steps:

Obtain the necessary Duo trust certificates.

Install the certificates on the FTD device.

Verify the configuration to ensure that the FTD device can properly communicate with the Duo AAA server.

This resolves the authentication failure by ensuring that the FTD device can trust the Duo server.

Correct : B

To capture packets that are dropped by Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) and troubleshoot the issue of traffic from the inside network to a webserver not getting through, the administrator should use the command to capture packets dropped by the accelerated security path (ASP) engine. The correct command is:

capture CAP type asp-drop all headers-only

This command captures all packets dropped by the ASP engine, which includes packets that are being blocked by access control policies, NAT issues, or other security checks.

Steps:

Access the FTD CLI.

Run the command capture CAP type asp-drop all headers-only to capture dropped packets.

Analyze the captured data to identify the cause of the drops.

This command provides detailed information on why packets are being dropped, helping the administrator resolve the issue.
