JNCIS-ENT: Juniper Networks Certified Specialist – Enterprise Routing and Switching (2022) — Question 11

Which IDP action is also referred to as a silent discard?

Answer options

• A. no action
• B. close client and server
• C. ignore connection
• D. drop packet

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as 'ignore connection' effectively means that the connection is silently discarded without any notification. Option A, 'no action', implies that no response is taken, but does not specifically indicate discarding. Option B, 'close client and server', suggests a termination of the connection rather than silently ignoring it, and option D, 'drop packet', refers to an action taken at the packet level rather than at the connection level.
