Forescout FSCP Exam - Topic 8 Question 8 Discussion

Based on the image showing'Meets the following criteria'radio button selected (as opposed to 'Does not meet the following criteria'), the correct statement is:'Has no effect on irresolvable hosts'.

Understanding 'Meets the following criteria':

According to the Forescout policy configuration documentation:

When'Meets the following criteria'is selected:

Normal Evaluation- The condition is evaluated as written

No Negation- There is NO inversion of logic

Irresolvable Handling- Separate setting; the 'Meets' choice does NOT affect irresolvable handling

Irresolvable Hosts - Independent Setting:

According to the policy sub-rule advanced options documentation:

'The 'Meets the following criteria' radio button and the 'Evaluate irresolvable as' checkbox are independent settings.'

'Meets the following criteria'- Controls normal/negated evaluation

'Evaluate irresolvable as'- Controls how unresolvable properties are treated

The selection of 'Meets the following criteria' has no specific effect on how irresolvable hosts are handled.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B . Generates a NOT condition- 'Meets' does NOT generate NOT; it's the normal condition

C . Negates the criteria outside- 'Meets' does not negate anything; it's the affirmative option

D . Modifies irresolvable condition to TRUE- The 'Evaluate irresolvable as' setting controls that, not 'Meets'
