port is transmitting and receiving traffic. The Web server
Login/Logout screens are inaccessible, as is the PWA IP.
Spoofing (ARP, DNS, WINS or DHCP) will not respond
in this mode.

port is essentially disabled.

filtering is done unless a default policy applies to the port.

detailed description of possible port-string values, refer
