The purpose of the "Do I Know This Already?" quiz is to help you decide if you really need to read the entire chapter. If you already intend to read the entire chapter, you do not necessarily need to answer these questions now.
The ten-question quiz, derived from the major sections in the "Foundation Topics" portion of the chapter, helps you determine how to spend your limited study time.
True or false: Packet filtering can be configured on Cisco routers.
What design feature enables the Cisco PIX Firewall to outperform conventional application firewalls?
The Packet Selectivity Algorithm
Super-packet filtering
A single embedded operating environment
Hot standby proxy processing
True or false: Cut-through proxy technology allows users to do anything they want after authenticating at the firewall.
What steps are required to add an ARP entry to a Cisco PIX Firewall?
