Reset Client

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

 

 

reset to the client, 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 Client action is triggered before the TCP connection is fully

 

 

established it acts as Clear Session.

 

 

 

 

Reset Server

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

 

 

reset to 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 Server action is triggered before the TCP connection is fully

 

 

established it acts as Clear Session.

 

 

 

 

Drop Session

The FortiGate unit drops the packet that triggered the signature and drops

 

 

any other packets in the same session.

 

 

 

 

Clear Session

The FortiGate unit drops the packet that triggered the signature, removes

 

 

the session from the FortiGate session table, and does not send a reset.

 

 

 

 

Pass Session

The FortiGate unit lets the packet that triggered the signature and all other

 

 

packets in the session pass through the firewall.
