Table 74: Packet Sanity Fields
In this field… Do this…
Action Specify what action to take when a packet fails a sanity test, by selecting
one of the following:
Block. Block the packet. This is the default.
None. No action.
Track Specify whether to issue logs for packets that fail the packet sanity tests, by
selecting one of the following:
Log. Issue logs. This is the default.
None. Do not issue logs.
Disable relaxed
UDP length
verification
The UDP length verification sanity check measures the UDP header length
and compares it to the UDP header length specified in the UDP header. If
the two values differ, the packet may be corrupted.
However, since different applications may measure UDP header length
differently, the Safe@Office appliance relaxes the UDP length verification
sanity check by default, performing the check but not dropping offending
packets. This is called relaxed UDP length verification.
Specify whether the Safe@Office appliance should relax the UDP length
verification sanity check or not, by selecting one of the following:
True. Disable relaxed UDP length verification. The Safe@Office
appliance will drop packets that fail the UDP length verification
check.
False. Do not disable relaxed UDP length verification. The
Safe@Office appliance will not drop packets that fail the UDP
length verification check. This is the default.
