Dab, Transparent mode is when the firewall appears to operate as a layer 2 device. It's interfaces have no IP addresses, only a single management address. This feature was first introduced into PIX 7.0. A good scenario for using transparent mode would be when a customer's environment requires the addition of a firewall with minimal interference to the current environment. That is, the firewall doesn't need IP addresses assigned etc. and doesn't break or segment the IP subnet along the wire - it basically becomes part of the wire. Installation is therefore much easier.
