Refer to the exhibit. Examine the intrusion prevention system (IPS) diagnostic command. Which statement is correct If option 5 was used with the IPS diagnostic command and the outcome was a decrease…

If a diagnostic command, such as option 5, reduces or bypasses IPS inspection and results in lower CPU utilization, it indicates that the IPS engine was previously under heavy load. This high CPU consumption is a common characteristic of IPS systems actively performing deep packet inspection and signature matching on a large volume of network traffic.

A decrease in CPU usage following a diagnostic command does not indicate whether the IPS engine was effective or ineffective at preventing an intrusion attack.

Blocking all traffic is a firewall function, and a reduction in IPS inspection load leading to lower CPU usage is not directly related to the IPS blocking all traffic.

If CPU usage decreases due to a diagnostic command that alters IPS operation, the IPS engine is not continuing to run in a normal, full-inspection state.
