Changing the Default Policy
After enabling the firewall, the default policy is to accept traffic from/to all
IP addresses. This means only IP addresses discarded by a specific rule
will NOT be permitted to access the PX or receive any data from the PX.
You can change the default policy to Drop or Reject, in which case traffic
to/from all IP addresses is discarded except the IP addresses accepted
by a specific rule.
Default policies for inbound and outbound traffic can be different.
To change the default policy for inbound traffic:

Configure IP Access Control Settings dialog appears.

it, select a different policy from the drop-down list.

 Drop: Discards traffic from all IPv4 addresses, without
sending any failure notification to the source host.
 Reject: Discards traffic from all IPv4 addresses, and an ICMP
message is sent to the source host for failure notification.
