When a packet is flowing through the security gateway, which one of the following is a valid inspection path?
A. Acceleration Path
B. Small Path
C. Firewall Path
D. Medium Path
10 Comments on “which one of the following is a valid inspection path?”
bergermnsays:
Fast path is securexl.
slow path is going through rule base every time.
medium path means it bypasses rule processing because it saw the packet once before but needs to do IPS/AV/etc.

so is the answer medium path then?

I think the question must be wrong – I suspect it says “which is NOT a valid inspection path” because Acceleration, Firewall and Medium Path are all valid (CCSE R77 Training manual 87-88)

D is the correct answer.
The right paths are Slow Path, Medium Path and Accelerated Path.

agree, forgot to go back and read the question again 🙂

CCSE Student Manual R77 page 87: Acceleration Path, Medium Path and Firewall path. Small path doesn’t exist

acceleration path => the packet is completely handled by the secureXL device. It is processed and sent back again to the network.
firewall path => the secureXL device is unable to process the packet. It’s is passed on to the CoreXL layer and then to one of the isntances for full firewall processing.
medium path => the packet is handled by the secureXL device, except for IPS processing. The coreXL layer passes the packet to one of the firewall instances to perform IPS processing
=> so for inspection path it’s medium path

Playing harder than Cisco with semantics: Acceleration vs. Accelerated
Slow path – Packets and connections that are inspected by the Firewall and are not processed by SecureXL.
Accelerated path – Packets and connections that are offloaded to SecureXL and are not processed by the Firewall.
Medium path – Packets that require deeper inspection cannot use the accelerated path. It is not necessary for the Firewall to inspect these packets, they can be offloaded and do not use the slow path. For example, packets that are inspected by IPS cannot use the accelerated path and can be offloaded to the IPS PSL (Passive Streaming Library). SecureXL processes these packets more quickly than packets on the slow path.

Only one left is: Medium
