Hello all,

In global properties there is an option: Accept ICMP requests. I want to avoid that people in internet ping and run the tracerout command against my dmz servers. what is the better way to do this? disabling this option in global proterties or creating a rule base to do this? If i create a rule base i must disable this option in rule base?

I create a group called icmp_allow that contains echo request, time-exceeded, and dest-unreach. All the rest of the icmp services go into a group called icmp_deny. This way I can allow ping and traceroutes outbound and deny them inbound.

HTH,
