State:
Inline: The ZyWALL will both identify suspicious or malicious packets and perform the
action dictated by the rule for that type of intrusion (block, log, drop, send an alarm).
Monitor: Monitor means the ZyWALL will function as a traditional IDS (Intrusion
Detection System) by identifying suspicious or malicious packets and then sending alerts
(only). Monitor state may be advisable when you first deploy the ZyWALL in your
network so valid traffic is not blocked (“false positives”) nor invalid traffic wrongly allowed
(“”false negatives”). When “false positives” and “false negatives” have been identified
and corrected, you should then change to Inline.
Bypass: All LAN and WAN traffic is allowed to pass through the ZyWALL without
inspection.
