Traffic might be <STRONG>Denied</STRONG> due the interface ACLs or perhaps because there was a packet arriving on ASA that was supposedly part of an existing connection for which ASA does not have information in its connection table (end result is till <STRONG>Drop</STRONG>). Traffic might be<STRONG> Dropped</STRONG> because of the previously mentioned<STRONG> Deny</STRONG> caused by ACL. It might also be <STRONG>Dropped</STRONG> because of missconfigured NAT for example</P><P></P><P>Is some specific situation unclear related to these or why are you asking?</P><P></P><P>- Jouni</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Jan 2014 07:43:15 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/what-is-the-difference-between-drop-and-deny/m-p/2373396#M270805 Jouni Forss 2014-01-28T07:43:15Z
