NETWORK MODES Flashcards
What are the three (3) network modes?
Mixed Routing, Drop-In, Bridge
Which network mode is the most common?
Mixed Routing
Which network mode is the most common?
Mixed Routing
Which network mode is the most flexible?
Mixed Routing
Which network mode is the default?
Mixed Routing
Which network mode provides ALL additional network features (i.e. VPN, NAT, VLAN) + ALL security features?
Mixed Routing
Which network mode would have you configure each interface with an individual subnet?
Mixed Routing
Which network mode distributes a single (usually public) subnet across all interfaces?
Drop-In
Which network mode is useful when you want to place the Firebox into an existing public network distributing the subnet across all interfaces?
Drop-In
Which network mode is useful when you want the devices to keep their network settings?
Drop-In
Which network mode provides the advantage of allowing all devices to keep their IP addresses and default gateways?
Drop-In
Which network mode can distribute the Firebox’s IP address to all interfaces? For example:
- External Interface (eth0) = 198.51.100.2/24
- Trusted Interface (eth1) = 198.51.100.2/24
- Optional Interface (eth2) = 198.51.100.2/24
Drop-In
Which network mode provides MOST network features (i.e. VPN, NAT, Static Routing) + ALL security features?
Drop-In
Which network mode can be used when you want to filter and manage traffic between an existing network and its gateway?
Bridge
Which network mode can be used when you can’t really change anything in the network?
Bridge
Which network mode can provide transparency to the Firebox?
Bridge
Which network mode provides LIMITED network features (i.e. VPN, NAT, Static Routing) + MOST security features?
Bridge
In Bridge mode, why does the Firebox have limited network functions?
It does not handle layer 2 and layer 3 information
Which network feature cannot be used in Drop-In mode?
VLANs
In Bridge mode, what do you need (2) to configure on the Firebox to be able to use the security services?
System and Management IP Address and Default Gateway
Can you configure VPN in Bridge mode?
No
What does not being able to handle layer 2 and layer 3 information mean?
Cannot configure routing, NAT, or VLANs
Which network mode provides all Firebox interfaces to be on the same network and have the same IP address?
Drop-In
Which network mode provides all Firebox interfaces to be on the same network but requires you to specify an IP address to use to manage the Firebox?
Bridge
Which network mode is the only mode that allows you to use all Firebox features?
Mixed Routing
In Bridge mode, what can the Firebox only do with VLANs?
Pass VLAN tagged traffic between 802.1Q bridges or switches.
Which network mode provides a public IP address to the computers on the trusted or optional interfaces?
Drop-In
Which network mode cannot handle layer 2 and layer 3 information?
Bridge
Which network modes (2) have limitations with VLANs?
Drop-In and Bridge
Which network mode examines the traffic from all trusted or optional interface before sending them to the external interface?
Bridge
Which network modes (2) can secondary networks be configured?
Mixed Routing or Drop-In
Which network feature cannot be configured in Bridge mode?
VLANs
In Bridge mode, what can the Firebox specifically cannot do with VLANs?
Cannot configure VLANs. Only pass.
In Bridge mode, how does specifying a VLAN tag affect the management of a Firebox?
Allows the Firebox to be managed from that particular VLAN.
Which network mode can WINS/DNS be configured on?
Mixed Routing
