Which two network topologies can be configured on the Cisco C170 appliance? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AThe Data 1 interface is configured with one public listener.
• BThe Data 1 and Data 2 interfaces in a NIC pairing configuration support one public listener, management,
• CThe Data 1 interface is configured with one public listener, management, and a relay list.
• DThe Data 1 interface is configured with one public listener.

Explanation

Options C and D represent the two valid network topology configurations supported on the Cisco C170 appliance. D describes the simplest topology: a single Data 1 interface handling one public listener only. C describes a slightly more complete single-interface topology where Data 1 carries the public listener, management traffic, and a relay list - all consolidated on one interface. These two reflect the C170's real-world deployment scenarios as a compact, entry-level appliance with limited interface flexibility.

Option A is a distractor that duplicates the wording of D but is presented as a separate, incorrect choice - in exam context, treat identically worded options critically; only the ones matching the documented topology configurations are valid. Option B is wrong because NIC pairing (interface bonding/failover) is not a supported configuration on the C170; that feature is available on higher-end Cisco ESA appliances, not this entry-level model.

Memory tip: Think of the C170 as a "small shop" appliance - it only supports one-interface topologies on Data 1, either bare-bones (D) or fully loaded with management + relay (C). If you see NIC pairing or multi-interface bonding on a C170 answer, eliminate it immediately.
