operating system identity
The operating system vendor and version details for an operating system on a 
packet view
A type of 
 page that provides detailed information about the packet that triggered an 
 or the 
 that generated an 
. The packet view is the final page in 
based on intrusion events.
pass rule
An 
 that, when triggered, does not generate an 
 and does not log the details 
of the packet that triggered the rule. Pass rules allow you to prevent packets that meet specific criteria 
from generating an event in specific situations, as an alternative to disabling the intrusion rule. Compare 
with 
.
passive detection
The collection of 
 through analysis of traffic passively collected by managed 
Compare with 
.
passive interface
 configured to analyze traffic in a passive deployment.
pending (application protocol)
A designation given to an 
 identity when the system can neither positively nor 
negatively identify the application protocol. Most often, the system needs to collect and analyze more 
data before it can identify a pending application protocol.
physical interface
An interface that represents a physical port on a 
.
policy
A mechanism for applying settings, most often to an 
, and 
.
policy target
An 
 where you 
. A policy may have multiple targets.
port object
A reusable 
 that represents an open port that uses transport layer protocols (for example, TCP, 
UDP, or ICMP).
preprocessor
A feature that normalizes traffic inspected by an 
 and that helps identify network layer 
and transport layer protocol anomalies by identifying inappropriate header options, defragmenting IP 
datagrams, providing TCP stateful inspection and stream reassembly, and validating checksums. 
Preprocessors can also render specific types of packet data in a format that the system can analyze; these 
preprocessors are called data normalization preprocessors, or application layer protocol preprocessors.
