Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 296

Which action results in the firewall blocking network traffic without notifying the sender?

Answer options

• A. Drop
• B. Deny
• C. No notification
• D. Reset Client

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Drop' because this action silently discards the packets without informing the sender. 'Deny' may imply a notification depending on the configuration, while 'No notification' is not an action but rather a description. 'Reset Client' actively informs the sender by sending a reset packet, which is not the same as blocking traffic silently.
