Exam 300-710 topic 1 question 278 discussion

All are incorrect apart from E. A) is incorrect - FTDv50 and 100 support more than 250 VPN peers B) is incorrect - Only FTDv100 supports 16 vCPU cores C) Shown on datasheet that only 50GB is required - could this be a typo in the answers above? D) Is incorrect - see above link for separate license types for physical E) Correct See FTDv licensing shown here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/70/fdm/fptd-fdm-config-guide-700/fptd-fdm-license.html See data sheet here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/firepower-ngfw-virtual/threat-defense-virtual-ngfwv-ds.html

Related to: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/firepower-ngfw-virtual/threat-defense-virtual-ngfwv-ds.html ... the only correct answers might be (D and E). Please refer to the article within section: License portability across clouds: Deploy appliances everywhere, from your data center to your branch office, with the portability of one license to support virtual and physical solutions across public or private clouds (VMware, KVM, OpenStack, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), government clouds) and hyperconverged infrastructure (Cisco HyperFlex, Nutanix AHV). Expand, contract, and relocate workloads over time spanning physical, virtual, and public cloud infrastructures with one license.

B and E Interchangeability: Virtual and physical licenses are not interchangeable. Each type of license corresponds to its specific deployment mode. When choosing a license, consider your deployment environment (virtual or physical) and select the appropriate license type. Cisco’s Smart Software Licensing simplifies deployment, management, and tracking of virtual firewall instances1.

From the CIsco FTDv licensing link posted below: FTDv Licensing This section describes the performance-tiered license entitlements available for the FTDv. "Any FTDv license can be used on any supported FTDv vCPU/memory configuration. This allows FTDv customers to run on a wide variety of VM resource footprints. This also increases the number of supported AWS and Azure instances types. When configuring the FTDv VM, the maximum supported number of cores (vCPUs) is 16 ; and the maximum supported memory is 32 GB RAM ."

B, D, and E are all correct. D and E is the solution if going from the Cisco snippet below: "Deploy appliances everywhere, from your data center to your branch office, with the portability of one license to support virtual and physical solutions across public or private clouds (VMware, KVM, OpenStack, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), government clouds) and hyperconverged infrastructure (Cisco HyperFlex, Nutanix AHV). Expand, contract, and relocate workloads over time spanning physical, virtual, and public cloud infrastructures with one license." https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/firepower-ngfw-virtual/threat-defense-virtual-ngfwv-ds.html#:~:text=License%20portability%20across%20clouds

Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense Virtual supports performance-tiered licensing that provides different throughput levels and VPN connection limits based on deployment requirements⁵. The licenses can be used on any supported cloud platform, including VMware, KVM, OpenStack, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), government clouds, and hyperconverged infrastructure (Cisco HyperFlex, Nutanix AHV)

A & B are for sure wrong Table 2. FTDv Licensed Feature Limits Based on Entitlement https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/70/fdm/fptd-fdm-config-guide-700/fptd-fdm-license.html Also, C most likely is wrong. I've set up several FTDs and FMCs in a lab, and none of the VMs had that much space allocated. Maybe people should stop trusting chat GPT...just saying

Correct answer: B, E A virtual license doesn’t restrict the number of vCPUs, only throughput and VPN peers. This is extra confusing because the FTDv tiers are sometimes listed with the default number of vCPUs for that tier. Virtual and physical licenses definitely can’t be used interchangeably.
