Firewall Forwarding Settings

Aside from the global firewall limits, it is also possible to set the limit specific to the forwarding firewall in the Forwarding Settings (CONFIGURATION > Configuration Tree > Box > Assigned Services > Firewall). After changing these settings a Firmware Restart (CONTROL > Box) is required.

• Max. Forwarding Session/Src – Maximum number of sessions per source IP address (min: 1, default: 8192).

• Max. Forwarding UDP/Src – Maximum number of UDP sessions per source IP (min: 1, default: 512).

• Max. Forwarding Echo/Src – Maximum number of ICMP Echo sessions per source IP (min: 1, default: 512).

• Max. Forwarding Other/Src – Maximum number of sessions of any IP protocol (except TCP, UDP, ICMP) per source IP address (min: 1, default: 128).

• Max. Pending Forward Accepts/Src – Maximum number of pending accepts per source IP address (min: 5, max: 1024, default: 64).

• Load Protection Exemptions – This section lets you specify IP addresses and ports through which the firewall must be manageable even if load protection is already blocking connection requests due to an ongoing DoS/DDoS attack.
