A Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) extends beyond traditional firewalls by delivering critical protection against dynamic, evolving web-based threats, integrating features like deep packet inspection, application awareness/control, and intrusion prevention systems. This capability aligns directly with ensuring ongoing protection from rapidly changing threats. Option A is less accurate because NGFWs examine traffic in-stream rather than pre-connection. Option C, while perhaps a benefit, doesn’t define NGFW and refers more to overall Cisco ecosystem integration. Thus, B is the superior description.

The Cisco 800 Series and 1100 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) are specifically designed for small and midsize business customers who operate in space-constrained environments. These routers provide enterprise-grade features such as secure WAN connectivity, voice, integrated LTE, and advanced routing capabilities, all in a compact form factor.

Cisco documentation consistently recommends the 800 and 1100 Series ISR platforms for customers who want reliable, secure, and efficient routing without the need for large infrastructure. Hence, the best answer is D.

Cisco’s official SKU listing indicates AIR-AP1815I--K9C as the variant shipped with default Mobility Express software. This model arrives configurable as the embedded virtual controller for small to mid-sized deployment scenarios. Confirmed in multiple datasheets, this is the correct SKU, making C the right answer.

Cisco Meraki’s official documentation clearly states that the Meraki Dashboard is designed to be accessed via a modern web browser. This provides a simple, centralized GUI for configuring, monitoring, and managing all Meraki network devices. Terminal windows, CLI, or SSH are not supported for dashboard access; those interfaces are only used with traditional on-premises devices, not cloud-managed Meraki systems.

Theon-box web interface for configurationis a key feature of the Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series Switches, enabling rapid deployment in small branch or office environments. According to Cisco’s official documentation, the 2960-L series is equipped with an intuitive, built-in web-based GUI (also referred to as the “Cisco Configuration Professional for Catalyst” or “web UI”) that allows users to perform basic setup and management without the need for CLI expertise or external management platforms.

From the Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series Switches Data Sheet:

“An on-box web interface helps customers configure and manage their network quickly and easily, allowing them to get a small branch or office network up and running in minutes. This browser-based device manager reduces the need for CLI skills and speeds time to deployment.”

Other options, such as full CLI support, do exist, but the question specifically refers to enabling rapid, simplified deployment—which is exactly the use case for the on-box web interface. Stackwise-160 is not available on 2960-L, and support for Cisco DNA Center is limited on this series.

The Cisco 3504 Wireless LAN Controller is a physical, AirOS-based controller designed for small to mid-sized enterprise networks. It supports up to 150 access points and is purpose-built for scalability in branch or mid-market deployments. While Mobility Express is limited in AP count and is not a dedicated controller, the 8540 is for large deployments. Cisco WLC is a generic term. Thus, option C is the most accurate recommendation.
