Packet Filters > ICMP
Packet Filter > ICMP
ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is used to test the network connections and the functionality of the
RouteFinder. It is also used for diagnostic purposes.
ICMP-on-Firewall
and
ICMP Forwarding
always apply to all IP addresses (
Any
). When these are enabled, all
IP hosts can PING the RouteFinder (ICMP-on-Firewall) or the network behind it (ICMP Forwarding). Unique
IP addresses can then no longer be ruled out with packet filter rules. If the ICMP settings are disabled,
separate IP hosts and networks can be allowed to send ICMP packets through the RouteFinder firewall by
using appropriate
user defined packet filter rules
.
Screen Note: With the AP build, an additional field displays:
ICMP on WLAN
