- B. Reset Client
- C. Drop

Answer: A
Explanation:
IEEE 802.1Q is a standard for VLAN tagging in Ethernet networks. In Cisco IOS, VLANs are typically assigned to Layer 2 subinterfaces, which are logical interfaces that allow a physical interface to be divided into multiple virtual interfaces. Each Layer 2 subinterface can be assigned a unique VLAN ID, allowing traffic to be separated and managed based on VLAN membership.

You receive notification about new malware that is being used to attack hosts. The malware exploits a software bug in common application.
Which Security Profile detects and blocks access to this threat after you update the firewall's threat signature database?
- A. Data Filtering Profile applied to outbound Security policy rules
- B. Antivirus Profile applied to outbound Security policy rules
- C. Vulnerability Protection Profile applied to inbound Security policy rules
- D. Data Filtering Profile applied to inbound Security policy rules
Answer: C
Explanation:
Vulnerability Protection Security Profiles stop attempts to exploit system flaws or gain unauthorized access to systems. Anti-Spyware Security Profiles identify infected hosts as traffic leaves the network, but Vulnerability Protection Security Profiles protect against threats entering the network.
For example, Vulnerability Protection Security Profiles protect against buffer overflows, illegal code execution, and other attempts to exploit system vulnerabilities.

NEW QUESTION # 161
Which Security profile should be applied in order to protect against illegal code execution?
- A. Antivirus profile on allowed traffic
- B. Vulnerability Protection profile on allowed traffic
- C. Vulnerability Protection profile on denied traffic
- D. Antivirus profile on denied traffic
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Security profile that should be applied in order to protect against illegal code execution is the Vulnerability Protection profile on allowed traffic. The Vulnerability Protection profile defines the actions that the firewall takes to protect against exploits and vulnerabilities in applications and protocols. The firewall can block or alert on traffic that matches a specific threat signature or a group of threats. The Vulnerability Protection profile can prevent illegal code execution by detecting and blocking attempts to exploit buffer overflows, format string vulnerabilities, or other code injection techniques1. To apply the Vulnerability Protection profile on allowed traffic, you need to:
Create or modify a Vulnerability Protection profile on the firewall or Panorama and configure the rules and exceptions for the threats that you want to protect against2.
Attach the Vulnerability Protection profile to a Security policy rule that allows traffic that you want to scan for vulnerabilities3.
Commit the changes to the firewall or Panorama and the managed firewalls.
