9.8.4 Maximum IP Fragment Count

This data is used during transmission or reception of IP fragments. When large
sized packets are sent via SL6000/SL6300, SL6000/SL6300 fragments the
large sized packets (depending on the Maximum Transmission Unit). By default,
it’s set to 45. If the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of the interface is
1500 (default for Ethernet) then there can be a maximum of 45 fragments per
IP packet. If the MTU is less then this number, there can be more number of
fragments.

If any of the above check is disabled then Firewall will no longer offer protection
against the disabled item(s) and the LAN network might become vulnerable.
