CCNP Security 300-710 SNCF Practice Test 15 (Hard) - Object Management and Intrusion Rule Configuration

CISCO CCNP Security Exam Logo

1 / 10

Which FMC feature allows administrators to define reusable network, port, URL, and application group objects that can be referenced across multiple policies rather than re-entering the same values repeatedly?

Health Monitoring

DNS Policy exclusively, with no object reuse capability

Object Management

Platform Settings

Network Discovery

Correlation Policy

2 / 10

Which object type would an administrator create to represent a specific range of internal IP addresses that will be referenced consistently across multiple access control and NAT rules?

A time range object

A network object (or network object group)

A port object

A VLAN tag object

A URL object

An application filter object, under normal operating conditions

3 / 10

Which benefit does using object groups (such as a network object group containing several individual host objects) provide compared to referencing individual objects separately in every rule?

Object groups require a completely separate management platform from individual objects

Object groups can only be used in NAT policies and nowhere else

Object groups eliminate the need for any access control policy entirely

Updating the group's membership automatically propagates the change to every rule that references the group, simplifying ongoing maintenance

Object groups permanently disable logging for any rule that references them

Object groups automatically encrypt all traffic matching the group with no additional configuration, regardless of the platform version in use

4 / 10

Which object type would an administrator use to represent a specific TCP or UDP port or range, for reuse across access control and NAT rules?

A URL object

A geolocation object

A network object

A port object

A time range object

A VLAN tag object

5 / 10

Which object type would allow an access control rule to match traffic based on the geographic location associated with a source or destination IP address?

A URL object

A NAT pool object

A VLAN tag object

A port object

A geolocation object

A file list object, which is not the standard approach

6 / 10

Which intrusion rule configuration element would an administrator modify to change a specific rule's behavior from generating alerts only to actively dropping matching traffic?

The health policy CPU threshold

The rule state (such as changing from Generate Events to Drop and Generate Events)

The object management network group membership

The NAT policy translated port range

The platform settings SSH access list

The identity policy realm search base

7 / 10

Which practice would help an administrator quickly identify and update every access control rule referencing a specific server after that server's IP address changes, without manually searching each rule individually?

Using a network object to represent the server's IP address, so updating the object's value automatically updates every rule that references it

Renaming the server in the HR directory to trigger an automatic policy update

Deleting and recreating every affected policy entirely from scratch

Manually re-typing the new IP address into every single rule that happens to reference it, which is inconsistent with expected behavior, under typical configuration conditions

Waiting for the next scheduled software upgrade to apply the change automatically

Disabling all rules referencing the old IP address permanently with no replacement

8 / 10

Which custom intrusion rule authoring capability allows an administrator to write a signature to detect a very specific, organization-unique pattern not covered by Cisco's provided rule set?

A factory-default rule with no customization option

A DNS policy category filter

A health policy alert threshold

A custom (locally created) Snort rule

A NAT policy translation rule

A platform settings banner

9 / 10

Which risk is associated with poorly written or overly broad custom Snort rules deployed in an active-blocking (Drop and Generate Events) state?

They would only affect the administrator's own workstation and no other traffic

They would automatically be rejected by FMC and never take effect under any circumstance

They would automatically be converted to a monitor-only state with no administrator input

They would permanently disable the entire intrusion policy engine across all devices

They could generate excessive false positives and potentially block legitimate traffic, disrupting normal business operations

They would have no possible impact on traffic handling regardless of how they are written, which is inconsistent with expected behavior

10 / 10

Which combination of object management and intrusion rule practices would provide the most maintainable and effective configuration for a large, frequently changing enterprise environment?

Using objects inconsistently, with some rules referencing objects and others hardcoding the same values

Consistent use of well-named, appropriately scoped network/port/URL objects and groups across policies, combined with careful tuning and testing of custom intrusion rules before enabling active blocking

Writing custom rules with no naming convention and no documentation of their intended purpose

Avoiding object groups entirely and managing every individual host as a separate object with no grouping

Deploying every custom intrusion rule directly into a blocking state with no testing or tuning

Hardcoding raw IP addresses and ports directly into every rule with no object reuse at all
