Question 17

Which interface does not require a MAC or IP address?

    Correct Answer: A

    A Virtual Wire interface does not require a MAC or IP address because it operates in a pass-through mode, simply transmitting traffic between two network segments without modifying or routing it. This mode is typically used for network security appliances where the device needs to inspect traffic without acting as a router or switch.
