    During an upgrade of an existing data center, a network team must design segmentation into existing networks. Due to legacy applications, the IP addresses cannot change. Which firewall deployment model meets these requirements?

    B. multicontext mode

    below says commonly deployed in VRF’s which solves the use case above of not needing to change IP address and designing segmentation into an existing network.

    Firewall virtualization is mainly used in data center networks. The advantage of using
    firewall virtualization is scalability and flexibility. The use of automation tools can also
    reduce the operational workload and costs.
    There are two types of firewall virtualization:
    ■ Multicontext mode: Virtualized firewalls run on a single physical ASA appliance.
    ■ Virtual firewalls: Virtual firewalls are software-only firewalls running in a
    hypervisor (virtual machine’s manager).
    The multicontext mode was originally designed for multitenant deployments. It is also
    commonly deployed in virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) environments, where
    VLANs map to VRFs, and each VRF has its own virtual firewall

    You can implement all security context in routed mode or transparent mode, or you can
    implement some contexts in routed mode and some in transparent mode

    An organization is using a link state routing protocol that is not dependent on IP addressing. Which action should be taken to enable routing across area boundaries in this environment?
    A. Assign Level 1 router interfaces to different areas
    B. Assign Level 2 routers to different areas
    C. Assign Level 1 routers to different areas
    D. Assign Level 2 router interfaces to different areas
    E. Assign Level 2 router interface to the backbone area
    F. Assign Level 1 router interface to the backbone area

    ANS B. Assign Level 2 routers to different areas, read up on ISIS

    Are we saying we just we want to segment, there is no connectivity between segments, if we are splitting two servers on the same network segment them mutlicontext would achieve, but we are not going to get communication work between the two servers without natting. Am I overthinking this?

    In ISIS the router needs to be L1 and/or L2 capable for inter-area, however you also configure the interfaces to be L1 or L2 to define that, so for a single answer I would select D.

    @anonymous, yes you might be overthinking this. Transparent mode does not segment just filters traffic.

    source figure 1

    The following figure shows a typical transparent firewall network where the outside devices are on the same sub-net as the inside devices

    @MDF, I would have selected routed, not transparent anyway.

    But why multi-context over routed?

    If you have three network seqments. If the 10.1.1.0/24 could application servers, 10.1.2.0/24 could be, databases, and 10.1.3.0/24 webservers. you could run this in routed mode. If you wanted separate out multiple application with associated databases and webservers, I could see how mutli-context would help here.

    I think the question does not have enough detail on the goals they want to achieve for me to 100% say routed or multi-context. Hope I do not get this one.

    Hi @anonymous this question i looked at the exam guide and found this this topic under security services (5.1.e multiple context)which makes up 13% of the questions. I recently took the test scored 9xx and in this section scored 8x%. This one question won’t kill you but I read about multi context. It’s independent of routed mode vs transparent . Your ASA is either in single context mode or multiple context mode.

    1st Requirements – design segmentation into existing network = VRF’s is the solutions.
    2nd requirement – IP address cannot change – VRF’s also solve this

    Below is quoted direct from the Arch book as I mentioned above
    “The multicontext mode was originally designed for multitenant deployments. It is also
    commonly deployed in virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) environments, where
    VLANs map to VRFs, and each VRF has its own virtual firewall
    You can implement all security context in routed mode or transparent mode, or you can
    implement some contexts in routed mode and some in transparent mode”

    In your example you mentioned routing between segments. Multicontext does not take your ability away to do this?

    Source “cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa90/configuration/guide/asa_90_cli_config/ha_contexts.html#75590”
    Common Uses for Security Contexts
    You might want to use multiple security contexts in the following situations:

    You are a service provider and want to sell security services to many customers. By enabling multiple security contexts on the ASA, you can implement a cost-effective, space-saving solution that keeps all customer traffic separate and secure, and also eases configuration.
    routing are not supported.”

    Notice last line cost effect solution to Separate customer traffic
    Use existing device to segment the network

    @MDF i get it, its one of the Cisco questions where you could built a valid case for both with reasons why. Enterprise versus SP. On various dumps I have seen all three modes as valid answers and supported documentation.

    This q seems to around for about 12 months now, just hope I do not get this one.

    On one dump seen two questions very similar

    A company has a regulatory requirement that all connections between their sites must be encrypted in a
    manner that does not require maintenance of permanent tunnels. The remote offices are connected by a
    private MPLSbased service that requires a dynamically changing key, spoke-to-spoke communication, and
    reuse of the existing IP header. Which type of transport encryption must be used?
    A. GETVPN
    B. GRE VPN
    C. Sandard IPsec VPN
    D. DMVPN

    Answer should be A: GETVPN (remote offices are connected by a private MPLS based service).

    I also agree

    OTV or ATOMGRE, the latter being “Any Transport over MPLS over GRE”, Cisco answer to this is OTV.

    VXLAN is one to look out for, its the same as OTV but part of SDN or Overlay network design.

    How does OTV provide STP isolation
    A by using BPDU guard
    B by using BPDU filering
    C by dropping BPDU packets
    D by using STP root optimation

    The benefits of using OTV for Layer 2 extension include:

    ● No MPLS requirement

    ● No complex Ethernet over Multiprotocol Label Switching (EoMPLS) configuration for meshing

    ● No complex virtual private LAN services (VPLS) deployment for Layer 2 extensions

    ● Native spanning-tree isolation

    ◦ No need to explicitly configure bridge data protocol unit (BPDU) filtering

    ◦ Default isolation of spanning-tree problems to a given data center

    Its says “How does OTV provide STP isolation” by the process is “BPDU filter”, yes you do not specifically configure it. OTV is configured at each side of the DCI link.
    BPDUFilter does not send out of the interface, and drops any incoming. BPDU filter saving bandwidth because it not send it, so the other end will never drop a BPDU packet.

    The same way if you enable TRILL or Fabric Path, it uses ISIS for the transport, but you do not configure ISIS specifically, just the command enable each technology and ISIS is configured behind the scenes.

    So BPDU Filter, is already written and can be used on any switch, OTV uses BPDUFilter to make it happen, but you do not see it in config. I have four Nexus 7’s using OTV between two datacentres.

    Can it be say B: by using BPDU Filtering.
    by default, does not transmit STP Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) across the overlay. This is a native function that does not require the use of an explicit configuration, such as BPDU filtering, and so on.
