An engineer is implementing Cisco FTD in the network and is determining which Firepower mode to use.
The organization needs to have multiple virtual Firepower devices working separately inside of the FTD appliance to provide traffic segmentation.
Which deployment mode should be configured in the Cisco Firepower Management Console to support these requirements?

A. B. C. D.A.
In order to support the requirement of having multiple virtual Firepower devices working separately inside the FTD appliance to provide traffic segmentation, the engineer should configure the multi-instance deployment mode in the Cisco Firepower Management Console.
The multi-instance deployment mode allows multiple virtual instances of the Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) software to be deployed on a single physical appliance. Each virtual instance operates independently, with its own separate configuration, policies, and traffic segmentation. This enables organizations to implement traffic segmentation and isolation without the need for separate physical appliances, reducing complexity and cost.
In a multi-instance deployment, each virtual instance is assigned its own set of physical interfaces, which are dedicated to that instance. This enables traffic to be segregated and routed to the appropriate virtual instance based on policies configured in the FTD software. The virtual instances can also be managed independently, with their own separate administrative users and roles.
In contrast, the other deployment modes listed in the answer choices are not designed to support multiple virtual instances on a single physical appliance.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. multi-instance.
