350-701 Question #233: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

What features does Cisco FTDv provide over Cisco ASAv?

Options

• ACisco FTDv runs on VMWare while ASAv does not
• BCisco FTDv provides 1GB of firewall throughput while Cisco ASAv does not
• CCisco FTDv supports URL filtering while ASAv does not
• DCisco FTDv runs on AWS while ASAv does not

Explanation

Cisco FTDv offers advanced next-generation firewall (NGFW) capabilities, including robust URL filtering, which is a feature not natively available in the traditional Cisco ASAv.

Common mistakes.

• A. Both Cisco FTDv and Cisco ASAv are virtual appliances that can run on VMware ESXi and other virtualization platforms.
• B. Both FTDv and ASAv come in various performance tiers, and 1GB of firewall throughput is a performance metric, not a differentiating feature exclusive to FTDv over ASAv, as ASAv models can also achieve or exceed this throughput.
• D. Both Cisco FTDv and Cisco ASAv are available for deployment on public cloud platforms like AWS.

Concept tested. Cisco FTDv NGFW capabilities vs ASAv
