After port filtering is enabled or disabled and you apply the change, session entries are

Matching ICMP Message Types
This section describes the ICMP message types. The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is
used for reporting TCP/IP processing errors. There are numerous types of ICMP messages, as shown
in
Table 33 - ICMP Supported Message Types, page 395
. Although ICMP packets can be filtered
using the
proto icmp
option, by default, Alteon ignores the ICMP message type when matching a
packet to a filter. To perform filtering based on specific ICMP message types, ICMP message type
filtering must be enabled.
