Discuss Forescout FSCP Exam Topic 8 Question 8

Irresolvable hosts would match the condition. When configuring policies, which of the following statements is true regarding this image?

Select one:

AHas no effect on irresolvable hosts

BGenerates a NOT condition in the sub-rule condition

CNegates the criteria outside the property

DModifies the irresolvable condition to TRUE

Suggested Answer: A

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'

D could be a trick. Irresolvable hosts are tricky!

Coral 5 months ago

C seems right to me. It negates outside criteria.

Jaleesa 6 months ago

I feel unsure about this one. Maybe A?

Peggie 6 months ago

I think it's B. The NOT condition makes sense.

Rosio 6 months ago

Wait, are we really saying it modifies to TRUE? That’s wild!

Benton 6 months ago

D) seems too extreme, can't be true!

Myra 6 months ago

C) sounds plausible, but I'm not sure.

Candida 6 months ago

I disagree, I think B) is the right choice.

Stefan 7 months ago

A) Has no effect on irresolvable hosts is correct.

Candida 7 months ago

Irresolvable hosts, huh? Sounds like a horror movie title to me!

Dana 7 months ago

Irresolvable hosts? That's a new one. I'll just guess and go with A. Has no effect on irresolvable hosts.

Chau 8 months ago

Hmm, I'm not sure, but I'm going to go with C. Negates the criteria outside the property.

Teri 8 months ago

D. Modifies the irresolvable condition to TRUE seems like the correct answer to me.

Juliann 8 months ago

I think the answer is B. Generates a NOT condition in the sub-rule condition.

Darrel 8 months ago

I recall that modifying conditions can lead to different outcomes, but I can't remember if it applies to irresolvable hosts. Maybe option D is correct?

Wai 8 months ago

I’m a bit confused about the terms used in the options. Does "negates the criteria" mean it would change the outcome? I’m not entirely sure.

Juan 8 months ago

This question seems similar to one we did in practice about conditions and sub-rules. I feel like option B could be the right choice, but I need to double-check.

Heike 9 months ago

I think I remember that "irresolvable hosts" means they can't be matched to any known criteria, but I'm not sure how that affects the policies here.

Marlon 9 months ago

Alright, I'm feeling more confident now. I think option B is the correct answer, since the image shows a "NOT" condition in the sub-rule, which would negate the irresolvable hosts criteria.

Christiane 9 months ago

I think I've got a strategy here. The key is to focus on how the policy configuration in the image would affect the "irresolvable hosts" condition. Let me think through each option carefully.

Chu 9 months ago

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. What exactly do they mean by "irresolvable hosts"? I'll need to make sure I understand that concept before I can choose the right answer.

Salome 9 months ago

Okay, let me take a closer look at the image. It seems to be showing some kind of policy configuration, so I'll need to understand how that works to answer this.

Sharika 10 months ago

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about how the image relates to the question.
