Which two methods are available in Cisco Secure Web Appliance to process client requests when configured in Transparent mode? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is D. WCCP v2-enabled devices can automatically redirect traffic destined to port 80. E. Layer 4 switches can automatically redirect traffic destined to port 80.. When configured in Transparent mode, Cisco Secure Web Appliance processes client requests through traffic redirection orchestrated by WCCP v2-enabled devices or Layer 4 switches.

Why each option
When configured in Transparent mode, Cisco Secure Web Appliance processes client requests through traffic redirection orchestrated by WCCP v2-enabled devices or Layer 4 switches.
Transparent mode specifically intercepts traffic without client configuration; explicit HTTP requests are handled when the appliance is configured in Forward (explicit) proxy mode.
PAC (Proxy Auto-Configuration) files are used in explicit proxy deployments to instruct client browsers where to send web traffic, which is not characteristic of transparent mode.
Requiring a proxy for the client web browser describes an explicit proxy setup, where clients are aware of and configured to use the proxy, which is contrary to the nature of transparent mode.
WCCP v2-enabled devices, such as routers or switches, can automatically and transparently redirect HTTP traffic (and optionally HTTPS) destined for common web ports (e.g., port 80) to the Cisco Secure Web Appliance.
Layer 4 switches, using features like policy-based routing or port mirroring, can also transparently intercept and redirect traffic destined to specific ports like port 80 to the Secure Web Appliance without client-side configuration.
