Normally you would have the global option turned off. You can then
allow any specific ICMP that you do want (e.g. from your monitoring
server) with the use of a normal rule.
If you turn the option on in your global properties, it effectively
just adds another rule. Go View -> Implied Rules to see the rules that
are added. Better to turn it off, and explicitly define the rule
youself. If the global option is turned off, and you don't have any
rules allowing it, it will be dropped - which is what you want, yes?
