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.

link to go to the “query view” screen.

You can take actions on these signatures as described in
