Which tool can ping the source of a denied packet?

Firebox System Manager - Subscription services
FireWatch
Traffic Monitor
Log Server

The correct answer is: Traffic Monitor

Traffic Monitor is the tool that can ping the source of a denied packet. It provides real-time visibility into the traffic passing through the device, allowing administrators to view and analyze the actions taken on various packets. When a packet is denied, Traffic Monitor can help identify its source, enabling users to ping that source from the interface. This feature is particularly useful for troubleshooting connectivity issues and understanding the network behavior. In contrast, other tools like Firebox System Manager, FireWatch, and Log Server serve different purposes. The Firebox System Manager primarily focuses on managing the device's configuration and policy settings, while FireWatch monitors network traffic but does not have the capability to directly interact with packet sources. Log Server is responsible for storing and managing logs from various events but does not provide the real-time interaction that Traffic Monitor does when it comes to investigating denied packets.
