Thanks Pete Long, I know this is Cisco, but is there a quick way to see if this is active? &nbsp;VIA ASDM etc?

This maybe a stupid question, however I want to make sure.<br />
<br />
If I run a port scan utility, say from SolarWinds for example against a Cisco ASA, will this trigger any kind of threat response from the ASA? &nbsp;IE will it black list the IP for a short time that is running the port scan? &nbsp;Are there other ramifications for doing this?<br />
<br />
I am thinking it will just drop the traffic or perhaps do nothing, but I am not well versed on what it will do.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the feedback.
