Question 402

What are three configurable interface types for a data-plane ethernet interface? (Choose three.)

    Correct Answer: A, B, E

    For a data-plane ethernet interface, the three configurable interface types are VWire, Layer 2, and Layer 3. VWire (Virtual Wire) allows for the transparent inspection of traffic without performing any routing or switching. Layer 2 interfaces are configured for traditional switching and VLAN segmentation, while Layer 3 interfaces are used for routing and IP addressing. These three types cover the essential configurations for different networking needs on ethernet interfaces within a data-plane.

A. VWire (Virtual Wire) Virtual Wire interfaces allow the firewall to transparently inspect traffic without having an IP address1. B. Layer 2 Layer 2 interfaces allow the firewall to integrate into your Layer 2 switching network1. E. Layer 3 Layer 3 interfaces allow the firewall to perform routing1. So, the correct answers to your question are A. VWire, B. Layer 2, and E. Layer 3
