What can cause missing SSL packets when performing a packet capture on dataplane interfaces?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Packet captures on a Palo Alto Networks firewall are performed in the dataplane CPU, unless you configure the firewall to Take a Packet Capture on the Management Interface, in which case the packet capture is performed on the management plane. When a packet capture is performed on the dataplane, during the ingress stage, the firewall performs packet parsing checks and discards any packets that do not match the packet capture filter. Any traffic that is offloaded to the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) offload processor is also excluded, unless you turn off hardware offload. For example, encrypted traffic (SSL/SSH), network protocols (OSPF, BGP, RIP), application overrides, and terminating applications can be offloaded to the FPGA and therefore are excluded from packet captures by default.
