The ip_address would be dropped from
the global pool.

icmp
15.
Which statement is not true?

Answers
1.
D. None of the above. Returning traffic is
always allowed, unless it’s specifically blocked.
2.
C. 50 and 100 are reserved
(outside/inside) and while 1 would work, it allows no flexibility in security
assignment if another DMZ was added
3.
D. Application layer.
4.
D. One translation can support many
connections.
5.
B. All outbound connections are denied
except those specifically allowed by access control lists. Just the opposite,
all are allowed unless denied by an ACL.
6.
B. TCS because it has a session setup and
a termination routine.
7.
C. 14. The mask includes 16 addresses, but
one is the network and one is the broadcast.
8.
C. TCP intercept.
9.
B. and D. ActiveX objects and Java
applets.
10.
A. pix(config)#filter url 80
0 0 0 0 .
11.
C. The ip_address
would not be translated. Nat 0 turns off NAT for that
address.
12.
A. and D. Compiled access lists and ACLs
with at least 19 statements.
13.
B. Supports TACACS+ servers with Cisco
Secure ACS v3.0. Actually, it’s RADIUS.
14.
A. Pix(config)# object-group service
dmz_service tcp.
15.
C. Cisco security strategy considers
sending routing protocols across any firewall safe, but unnecessary, because of
the route command. Cisco does not
consider it safe.
