Three of the 435 questions in this pack

Question 1

What is a result of enabling Cisco FTD clustering?

  1. For the dynamic routing feature, if the master unit fails, the newly elected master unit maintains all existing connections.
  2. Integrated Routing and Bridging is supported on the master unit.
  3. Site-to-site VPN functionality is limited to the master unit, and all VPN connections are dropped if the master unit fails.
  4. All Firepower appliances support Cisco FTD clustering.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Site-to-site VPN functionality is limited to the master unit, and all VPN connections are dropped if the master unit fails.

unit, and all VPN connections are dropped if the master unit fails. In FTD clustering, site-to-site VPN is a centralized feature that runs only on the control (master) unit. VPN sessions are not distributed to data units and are not backed up, so if the master unit fails, all existing site-to-site VPN connections are dropped and must be rebuilt after a new master is elected.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. With dynamic routing, the routing process restarts and reconverges on the new master, so existing connections are not all maintained.
  • B. Integrated Routing and Bridging is not supported when clustering is enabled, so it is not a result of enabling FTD clustering.
  • D. Not all Firepower appliances support FTD clustering; only certain models and form factors are compatible with clustering.

Question 2

Which two conditions are necessary for high availability to function between two Cisco FTD devices? (Choose two.)

  1. The units must be the same version
  2. Both devices can be part of a different group that must be in the same domain when configured within the FMC.
  3. The units must be different models if they are part of the same series.
  4. The units must be configured only for firewall routed mode.
  5. The units must be the same model.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A, E

A. The units must be the same version E. The units must be the same model. For high availability to function between two Cisco FTD devices, the units must be the same version to ensure compatibility of state synchronization protocols and feature parity. Additionally, the units must be the same model to guarantee identical hardware capabilities, processing power, and interface configurations necessary for seamless failover.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. Both devices can be in the same group within the FMC; they do not need to be in different groups, and domain requirements are not a primary HA constraint.
  • C. If units are part of the same series, they must be the same model for HA, not different models.
  • D. High availability is supported in both routed and transparent modes; it is not limited to firewall routed mode only.

Question 3

On the advanced tab under inline set properties, which allows interfaces to emulate a passive interface?

  1. transparent inline mode
  2. TAP mode
  3. strict TCP enforcement
  4. propagate link state
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. TAP mode

TAP mode (Traffic Access Point mode) on the advanced tab under inline set properties allows interfaces to emulate a passive interface. In TAP mode, the device passively monitors traffic without actively blocking or forwarding it, making it behave like a passive tap on the network rather than an active inline appliance.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Transparent inline mode processes traffic actively between inline pairs but does not specifically emulate a passive interface.
  • C. Strict TCP enforcement is a security policy setting for TCP connection handling, not an interface mode for passive emulation.
  • D. Propagate link state is a feature for maintaining link status awareness across inline pairs, not for emulating passive interfaces.

What makes the SNCF hard

The 300-710 is a deep specialist exam. It goes into Cisco Secure Firewall policy configuration, FMC management, integrations, deployments and troubleshooting at a level that catches a lot of experienced engineers off guard. Deployment and Configuration are 30% each on the current v1.2 blueprint, so 60% of the paper sits in build-and-configure territory rather than theory.

SNCF also picked up VPN content in 2026, after Cisco retired the 300-730 SVPN concentration exam on 26 August 2026 and redistributed its material into SCOR and SNCF. This pack has 435 practice questions for the 300-710 SNCF, so the current scope is familiar before test day.
