Which of the following is NOT a connectivity mode of the VEN?

The correct response identifies that "Active" is not considered a standard connectivity mode of the Virtual Endpoint Node (VEN) in the context of Illumio's architecture.

In Illumio's ecosystem, the connectivity modes of a VEN refer to the various operational states in which the VEN can function with respect to its ability to communicate with the policy engine and other components of the Illumio infrastructure. Typically, these connectivity modes include Online, where the VEN is actively receiving and enforcing policies; Offline, where it is not currently connected but may have cached policies; and Suspended, which indicates temporarily halting policy enforcement or communication for various reasons, such as maintenance or troubleshooting.

"Active" may commonly refer to a state where a system is performing its intended functions, but it does not specifically denote a connectivity mode defined within Illumio's operational framework. Thus, recognizing "Active" as not a viable connectivity mode for the VEN aligns with the understanding of how the system categorizes the states of its nodes.
