9. What is a characteristic of ASA security levels?

   • An ACL needs to be configured to explicitly permit traffic from an interface with a lower security level to an interface with a higher security level.
   • Each operational interface must have a name and be assigned a security level from 0 to 200.
   • The lower the security level on an interface, the more trusted the interface.
   • Inbound traffic is identified as the traffic moving from an interface with a higher security level to an interface with a lower security level.

10. Refer to the exhibit. Two types of VLAN interfaces were configured on an ASA 5505 with a Base license. The administrator wants to configure a third VLAN interface with limited functionality. Which action should be taken by the administrator to configure the third interface?

    

    CCNA Security Chapter 9 Exam Answer v2 002

    • Because the ASA 5505 does not support the configuration of a third interface, the administrator cannot configure the third VLAN.
    • The administrator must enter the no forward interface vlan command before the nameif command on the third interface.
    • The administrator configures the third VLAN interface the same way the other two were configured, because the Base license supports the proposed action.
    • The administrator needs to acquire the Security Plus license, because the Base license does not support the proposed action.

11. Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is configuring the security level for the ASA. Which statement describes the default result if the administrator tries to assign the Inside interface with the same security level as the DMZ interface?

    

    CCNA Security Chapter 9 Exam Answer v2 004

    • The ASA allows inbound traffic initiated on the Internet to the DMZ, but not to the Inside interface.
    • The ASA console will display an error message.
    • The ASA will not allow traffic in either direction between the Inside interface and the DMZ.*
    • The ASA allows traffic from the Inside to the DMZ, but blocks traffic initiated on the DMZ to the Inside interface.

12. What is a difference between ASA IPv4 ACLs and IOS IPv4 ACLs?

    • ASA ACLs are always named, whereas IOS ACLs are always numbered.
    • Multiple ASA ACLs can be applied on an interface in the ingress direction, whereas only one IOS ACL can be applied.
    • ASA ACLs use the subnet mask in defining a network, whereas IOS ACLs use the wildcard mask.*
    • ASA ACLs do not have an implicit deny any at the end, whereas IOS ACLs do.
    • ASA ACLs use forward and drop ACEs, whereas IOS ACLs use permit and deny ACEs.

13. What is the purpose of the webtype ACLs in an ASA?

    • to inspect outbound traffic headed towards certain web sites
    • to restrict traffic that is destined to an ASDM
    • to monitor return traffic that is in response to web server requests that are initiated from the inside interface
    • to filter traffic for clientless SSL VPN users*

19. What are three characteristics of the ASA routed mode? (Choose three.)

    • This mode is referred to as a “bump in the wire.”
    • In this mode, the ASA is invisible to an attacker.
    • The interfaces of the ASA separate Layer 3 networks and require different IP addresses in different subnets.*
