Block Multicast Packets: Check this box to block multicast packets. By default, the firewall blocks all multicast packets. This feature has higher priority than the firewall rules, which indicates that the firewall rules that permit multicast traffic will be overridden if you enable this feature.

STEP 5 In the DoS Attacks area, enter the following information:

SYN Flood Detect Rate: Enter the maximum number of SYN packets per second that will cause the security appliance to determine that a SYN Flood Intrusion is occurring. Enter a value from 0 to 65535 SYN packets per second. The default value is 128 SYN packets per seconds. A value of zero (0) indicates that the SYN Flood Detect feature is disabled.

Echo Storm: Enter the number of pings per second that will cause the security appliance to determine that an echo storm intrusion event is occurring. Enter a value from 0 to 65535 ping packets per second. The default value is 15 ping packets per seconds. A value of zero (0) indicates that the Echo Storm feature is disabled.

ICMP Flood: Enter the number of ICMP packets per second, including PING packets, that will cause the security appliance to determine that an ICMP flood intrusion event is occurring. Enter a value from 0 to 65535 ICMP packets per second. The default value is 100 ICMP packets per seconds. A value of zero (0) indicates that the ICMP Flood feature is disabled.

NOTE: When one of DoS attack levels is exceeded, that kind of traffic will be dropped.

STEP 6 Click Save to apply your settings.
