Q

What kind of data frames can the interface accept when it’s configured for VLAN?

A

both tagged and untagged data frames

22
Q

Can VLAN 10, for example, be a member of eth1 & eth2?

23
Q

Can an interface be simultaneously belong to both an external and internal VLAN?

24
Q

Can a VLAN interface can send and receive untagged traffic for an external VLAN?

25
Q

Tag/Untag: If the interface connects to a device that can receive and understand 802.1Q VLAN tags

26
Q

Tag/Untag: Devices you connect to this interface are usually VLAN switches (managed switches) or routers.

27
Q

Tag/Untag: If the interface connects to a device that cannot receive and understand 802.1Q VLAN tags

28
Q

Tag/Untag: Devices you connect to this interface are usually
computers or printers

29
Q

Device interfaces that can use VLAN tags as defined in IEEE 802.1Q

A

Managed switch or an 802.1Q switch

30
Q

Can you use VLANs if your Firebox is configured in Drop-In Mode?

31
Q

Can you configure VLANs if your Firebox is configured in Bridge Mode?

32
Q

In bridge mode, what does the Firebox do with VLAN tagged traffic?

A

Pass between 802.1Q bridges or switches

33
Q

In bridge mode, can a Firebox be managed from a VLAN that has a specified VLAN tag?

34
Q

Are Multi-WAN configuration settings are applied to VLAN traffic

35
Q

What determines the number of VLANs you can create?

A

Firebox device model and license

36
Q

How to see the number of VLANs you can add to your Firebox?

A

Policy Manager > Setup > Feature Keys > Total Number
of VLAN Interfaces row

37
Q

How many VLANs are recommended to be configured to operate on external interfaces?

A

Not more than 10

38
Q

Can too many VLANs on external interfaces affect performance

39
Q

What should all network segments you want to add to a VLAN must have?

A

IP addresses on the VLAN network

40
Q

How do I allow traffic to a VLAN from a device outside the VLAN?

A
  1. Add a policy for it
  2. Include the VLAN’s alias name or subnet in the To section
41
Q

By default, does the Firebox allow traffic to a device in any VLAN?

42
Q

How do I allow traffic that starts in a VLAN and leaves the VLAN?

A

Configure the VLAN as a Trusted or Optional zone

43
Q

Is traffic is not allowed to leave a network protected by the Firebox unless there is a policy to allow it?

44
Q

What does the default configuration the Quick Setup Wizard creates for the Firebox include?

A

Outgoing policy

45
Q

What does the outgoing policy do?

A

Allows traffic from Any-Trusted/Any-Optional to Any-External

46
Q

What happens if the VLAN uses the Trusted or Optional security zone?

A

Any device in the VLAN can use the Outgoing policy
to send traffic to Any-External

47
Q

How to allow traffic that starts in one VLAN and goes to another VLAN?

A

Apply separate security policies to VLANs

48
Q

By default, can devices in one VLAN see the traffic from another VLAN?

49
Q

What does the Apply firewall policies to intra-VLAN traffic check box do?

A

Applies firewall policies to traffic between clients on two networks that are part of the same VLAN

50
Q

What is needed to ensure if policies are applied to intra-VLAN traffic?

A

No alternate path exists between the source
and destination
