Configuring Global Firewall Settings

 

 

Field

Description

 

 

Max ICMP Conn.:

This field 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 they are initiated.

 

 

Max Single Host

This field sets the percentage of concurrent IP session

Conn.:

that can originate from a single computer. This

 

percentage should take into account the number of hosts

 

on the LAN.

 

 

Log Destination:

This field 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 be e-mailed to specified

 

administrators.

 

 

E-mail ID of Admin 1:

This field specifies the e-mail addresses of the

 

administrators who should receive notices of any attempted

E-mail ID of Admin 2:

firewall violations. Type the addresses in standard

 

internet e-mail address format (e.g.,

E-mail ID of Admin 3:

jxsmith@onecompany.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.
