radio buttons:
•
Drop
- Deny access to packets that match the source and destination
IP
addresses and protocol ports defined in “Matching.”
•
Reject
- Deny access to packets that match the source and destination
IP
addresses and protocol ports defined in upper section of the screen, and
send an
ICMP
error or a
TCP
reset to the origination peer.
•
Accept
- Allow access to packets that match the source and destination
IP
addresses and protocol ports defined in upper section of the screen. The
data transfer session will be handled using Stateful Packet Inspection (
SPI
).
•
Accept Packet
- Allow access to packets that match the source and des-
tination
IP
addresses and protocol ports defined in upper section of the
screen. The data transfer session will not be handled using Stateful Packet
Inspection (
SPI
), so other packets that match this rule will not be automati-
cally allowed access. This setting is useful when creating rules that allow
broadcasting.
