IP Protocols

IP Protocols allows the user to define protocols to make available when creating filters. Using the IP Protocols function, the administrator can explicitly deny a protocol The procedures that are used by two or more computer systems so they can communicate with each other. on a certain port in order to generate specific log entries.

The implicit rule of GNAT Box Systems, ìthat which is not explicitly allowed is denied,î combined with the default in which all rejected packets are logged, can make the ìunknown protocolî log events too numerous. Identifying a protocol is useful in reducing these extraneous events.

To define a protocol, enter the acronym of the protocol in the NAME field and the port number In a TCP/IP-based network such as the Internet, it is a number assigned to an application program running in the computer. The number is used to link the incoming data to the correct service. of the protocol in the NUMBER field.

After the protocol has been defined, create and enable an appropriate filter to deny the protocol on that port, log it in a specific manner, or explicitly prevent it from being logged.

By default, the Protocols section contains the protocol/port combinations IGMP/2, GRE/47, ESP/50 and AH/51. Defaulting the IP Protocols section will delete customized protocols and restore these defaults. Remove protocols by deleting the field entries and saving the section.

Protocols are saved in the order of the protocol number.
