NetBrain currently can produce differing traffic-permit results between L2 and L3 path calculations for the same firewall policy match, even when the same rule and port should apply consistently across both path types. This inconsistency creates confusion for customers evaluating whether a specific traffic flow is actually permitted or denied end-to-end. This enhancement would align the policy evaluation logic used in L2 path calculation with that used in L3 path calculation, ensuring both consistently reflect the same firewall rule decision for a given traffic definition. Customers validating security policy behavior through path trace would gain a single, trustworthy result regardless of path type, reducing troubleshooting time and eliminating the need to manually reconcile conflicting path outputs.
