Cisco Exam 300-710 Topic 4 Question 64 Discussion

Integrated routing and bridging (IRB) is a feature of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) that allows the firewall to forward traffic at both layers 2 and 3 for the same subnet. In this mode, the firewall can act as a switch or a bridge to forward traffic at layer 2 and as a router to forward traffic at layer 3. This allows the firewall to maintain full control over the traffic, while still allowing it to forward traffic at both layers.
