Table 24: Actions to select for each predefined signature

Action

Description

 

 

Pass

The FortiGate unit lets the packet that triggered the signature pass

 

through the firewall. If logging is disabled and action is set to Pass, the

 

signature is effectively disabled.

 

 

Drop

The FortiGate unit drops the packet that triggered the signature. Fortinet

 

recommends using an action other than Drop for TCP connection based

 

attacks.

 

 

Reset

The FortiGate unit drops the packet that triggered the signature, sends a

 

reset to both the client and the server, and removes the session from the

 

FortiGate session table. Used for TCP connections only. If you set this

 

action for non-TCP connection based attacks, the action will behave as

 

Clear Session. If the Reset action is triggered before the TCP connection

 

is fully established it acts as Clear Session.
