The ICMP Type and ICMP Code settings are based on the first 16 bits of
the 32-bit ICMPv6 message packet, illustrated in Figure 7-7.
Figure 7-7. ICMPv6 Message Packet
In the ICMPv6 message packet:
– The ICMP type value is based on the first eight bits (bits 0
through 7). ICMP type values from 0 through 127 are used for
error messages, and ICMP type values from 128 through 255 are
used for information messages.
– The ICMP code value is based on the second eight bits (bits 8
through 15). This value depends on the ICMP message type, and
specifies the type of packet with more granularity.
Table 7-5 lists common ICMP types and the corresponding ICMP
codes. Use this table to find the correct values for the packets that
you want to control, and then enter the values in the ICMP Type and
ICMP Code fields of the ICMP Options screen.
Click the OK button to return to the Add Rule screen and finish
configuring other filters.
