A passive client is that- passive. That means that it, generally responds to traffic sent to it as opposed to initiating the traffic exchange. You may see wireless printers and other devices that behave in that manner. Without "passive client," those devices would potentially be dropped at the User Idle Timeout because they didn't initiate traffic.
