Field

Description

 

 

Max Half open TCP Conn.

Sets the percentage of concurrent IP sessions that can be in the

 

 

 

half-open state. In ordinary TCP communication, packets are in the

 

 

half-open state only briefly as a connection is being initiated; the state

 

 

changes to active when packets are being exchanged, or closed when

 

 

the exchange is complete. TCP connections in the half-open state can

 

 

use up the available IP sessions.

 

 

If the percentage is exceeded, then the half-open sessions will be closed

 

 

and replaced with new sessions as they are initiated.

 

 

 

 

 

Max ICMP Conn.

Sets the percentage of concurrent IP sessions that can be used for ICMP

 

 

messages.

 

 

If the percentage is exceeded, then older ICMP IP sessions will be

 

 

replaced by new sessions as the are initiated.

 

 

 

 

 

Max Single Host Conn.

Sets the percentage of concurrent IP session that can originate from a

 

 

single computer. This percentage should take into account the number

 

 

of hosts on the LAN.

 

 

 

 

 

Log Destination

Specifies how attempted violations of the firewall settings will be

 

 

tracked. Records of such events can be sent via Ethernet to be handled

 

 

by a system utility Ethernet to (Trace) or can E-mailed to specified

 

 

administrators.

 

 

 

 

 

E-Mail ID of Admin 1/2/3

Specifies the E-mail addresses of the administrators who should receive

 

 

notices of any attempted firewall violations. Type the addresses in

 

 

standard Internet E-mail address format, e.g., jxsmith@home.com.

 

 

The E-mail message will contain the time of the violation, the source

 

 

address of the computer responsible for the violation, the destination IP

 

 

address, the protocol being used, the source and destination ports, and

 

 

the number violations occurring the previous 30 minutes. If the ICMP

 

 

protocol were being used, then instead of the source and destination

 

 

ports, the E-mail will report the ICMP code and type.
