ACTION
DESCRIPTION
No Action
The intrusion is detected but no action is taken.
Drop Packet
The packet is silently discarded.
Drop Session
When the firewall is enabled, subsequent TCP/IP packets belonging to the
same connection are dropped. Neither sender nor receiver are sent TCP RST
packets. If the firewall is not enabled only the packet that matched the signature
is dropped.
Reset Sender
When the firewall is enabled, the TCP/IP connection is silently torn down. Just
the sender is sent TCP RST packets. If the firewall is not enabled only the
packet that matched the signature is dropped.
Reset Receiver
When the firewall is enabled, the TCP/IP connection is silently torn down. Just
the receiver is sent TCP RST packets. If the firewall is not enabled only the
packet that matched the signature is dropped.
Reset Both
When the firewall is enabled, the TCP/IP connection is silently torn down. Both
sender and receiver are sent TCP RST packets. If the firewall is not enabled
only the packet that matched the signature is dropped.
