What two steps provide the quickest way to completely remove an ACL from a router? (Choose two.) Removal of the ACEs is the only step required. Modify the number of the ACL so that it doesn't match the ACL associated with the interface. Copy the ACL into a text editor, add no before each ACE, then copy the ACL back into the router. Remove the inbound/outbound reference to the ACL from the interface. Use the no access-list command to remove the entire ACL. Use the no keyword and the sequence number of every ACE within the named ACL to be removed.

What are two possible limitations of using a firewall in a network? (Choose two.) It provides accessibility of applications and sensitive resources to external untrusted users. It increases security management complexity by requiring off-loading network access control to the device. A misconfigured firewall can create a single point of failure. Network performance can slow down. It cannot sanitize protocol flows.
A misconfigured firewall can create a single point of failure. Network performance can slow down.
What are two differences between stateful and stateless firewalls? (Choose two.) A stateless firewall is able to filter sessions that use dynamic port negotiations while a stateful firewall cannot. A stateless firewall will examine each packet individually while a stateful firewall observes the state of a connection. A stateless firewall will provide more logging information than a stateful firewall. A stateful firewall will prevent spoofing by determining whether packets belong to an existing connection while a stateless firewall follows pre-configured rule sets. A stateless firewall provides more stringent control over security than a stateful firewall.
A stateless firewall will examine each packet individually while a stateful firewall observes the state of a connection. A stateful firewall will prevent spoofing by determining whether packets belong to an existing connection while a stateless firewall follows pre-configured rule sets.
What is the result in the self zone if a router is the source or destination of traffic? No traffic is permitted. All traffic is permitted. Only traffic that originates in the router is permitted. Only traffic that is destined for the router is permitted.
All traffic is permitted
Which three statements describe ACL processing of packets? (Choose three.) An implicit deny any rejects any packet that does not match any ACE. A packet can either be rejected or forwarded as directed by the ACE that is matched. A packet that has been denied by one ACE can be permitted by a subsequent ACE. A packet that does not match the conditions of any ACE will be forwarded by default. Each statement is checked only until a match is detected or until the end of the ACE list. Each packet is compared to the conditions of every ACE in the ACL before a forwarding decision is made.
An implicit deny any rejects any packet that does not match any ACE. A packet can either be rejected or forwarded as directed by the ACE that is matched. Each statement is checked only until a match is detected or until the end of the ACE list.

Which two rules about interfaces are valid when implementing a Zone-Based Policy Firewall? (Choose two.) If neither interface is a zone member, then the action is to pass traffic. If one interface is a zone member, but the other is not, all traffic will be passed. If both interfaces belong to the same zone-pair and a policy exists, all traffic will be passed. If both interfaces are members of the same zone, all traffic will be passed. If one interface is a zone member and a zone-pair exists, all traffic will be passed.
If neither interface is a zone member, then the action is to pass traffic. If both interfaces are members of the same zone, all traffic will be passed.
Which statement describes Cisco IOS Zone-Based Policy Firewall operation? The pass action works in only one direction. Router management interfaces must be manually assigned to the self zone. A router interface can belong to multiple zones. Service policies are applied in interface configuration mode.
The pass action works in only one direction.
When implementing a ZPF, what is the default security setting when forwarding traffic between two interfaces in the same zone? Traffic between interfaces in the same zone is selectively forwarded based on Layer 3 information. Traffic between interfaces in the same zone is not subject to any policy and passes freely. Traffic between interfaces in the same zone is blocked. Traffic between interfaces in the same zone is selectively forwarded based on the default policy restrictions.

How does a firewall handle traffic when it is originating from the public network and traveling to the private network? Traffic that is originating from the public network is not inspected when traveling to the private network. Traffic that is originating from the public network is usually blocked when traveling to the private network. Traffic that is originating from the public network is usually permitted with little or no restrictions when traveling to the private network. Traffic that is originating from the public network is selectively permitted when traveling to the private network.
Traffic that is originating from the public network is usually blocked when traveling to the private network.
Which statement describes a typical security policy for a DMZ firewall configuration? Traffic that originates from the DMZ interface is selectively permitted to the outside interface. Return traffic from the inside that is associated with traffic originating from the outside is permitted to traverse from the inside interface to the outside interface. Return traffic from the outside that is associated with traffic originating from the inside is permitted to traverse from the outside interface to the DMZ interface. Traffic that originates from the inside interface is generally blocked entirely or very selectively permitted to the outside interface. Traffic that originates from the outside interface is permitted to traverse the firewall to the inside interface with few or no restrictions.
