Report Issue

Answer Description

A passive device attribute allows the network appliance to observe traffic without interacting or making changes to it, enabling monitoring and analysis without affecting data flow. This contrasts with an active device, which is designed to interact with or change the traffic passing through it, performing actions such as blocking or modifying packets.
