FNXUD0002I system events in Monitoring mode on QRadar Network Security sensors

Question & Answer


Question

Why do QRadar Network Security (XGS) sensors generate a large number of FNXUD0002I system events when a segment is operating in Monitoring mode?

Cause

The FNXUD0002I event is created when packets are dropped by an interface. When operating in Monitoring mode, an interface accepts traffic from a span port on a switch and analyzes it. After analysis, the traffic is dropped by the sensor as this is not an inline inspection mode.

Answer

This behavior is normal for Monitoring mode on XGS sensors.
