16.5 The Firewall Services Screen
If an outside user attempts to probe an unsupported port on your EMG1302-R10A, an ICMP
response packet is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to know the EMG1302-R10A
exists. Use this screen to prevent the ICMP response packet from being sent. This keeps outsiders
from discovering your EMG1302-R10A when unsupported ports are probed.
