Default Action
Click the drop-down menu button and select the action that this filter takes if a data packet does not
match any of the rules on this filter. The choices are:
Drop = Discard the packet (the default selection).
Forward = Allow the packet to pass.
Drop and Log = Discard the packet and log a filter debugging event (FILTERDBG event class). See
Configuration | System | Events and see note below.
Forward and Log = Allow the packet to pass and log a filter debugging event (FILTERDBG
event class). See note below.
Note: The Log actions are intended for use only while debugging filter activity. Since they generate and log an
event for every matched packet, they consume significant system resources and may seriously degrade
performance.
