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.
