JNCIA-SEC: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Security (2021) — Question 62

Which statement is correct about packet mode processing?

Answer options

• A. Packet mode enables session-based processing of incoming packets.
• B. Packet mode works with NAT, VPNs, UTM, IDP, and other advanced security services.
• C. Packet mode bypasses the flow module.
• D. Packet mode is the basis for stateful processing.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because packet mode processing does not utilize the flow module, allowing for more direct handling of packets. Options A and D are incorrect as they imply session-based and stateful processing, which are not characteristics of packet mode. Option B, while true, does not address the specific nature of packet mode's operation in relation to the flow module.
