Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
show security alg session 192.168.10.50
Why it's wrong here
There is no alg session command for filtering sessions by IP address.
- ✓
show security flow session source-prefix 192.168.10.50
Why this is correct
The source-prefix modifier correctly filters the active security session table for the specified source IP.
- ✗
show firewall filter session source-ip 192.168.10.50
Why it's wrong here
Firewall filters apply at packet-filtering layers and do not query the stateful session table using this syntax.
- ✗
show system connections 192.168.10.50
Why it's wrong here
show system connections displays local routing engine management socket connections, not transit security sessions.
