Configure advanced properties for firewall interfaces
Advanced settings for firewall interfaces allow you to configure SYN Rate Limits, Log Compression, and IPv6 Router Advertisements.
SYN Rate Limits are applied to TCP connections. Each TCP connection starts with a SYN packet. If the SYN Rate Limits defined for the Firewall are reached, the Firewall drops new TCP connections.
Log Compression is useful when the routing configuration generates a large volume of antispoofing logs or the number of Discard logs becomes high (for example, as a result of a SYN flood attack).
Router advertisements are packets that contain network layer configuration parameters. Enabling IPv6 Router Advertisements in the Physical Interface properties or Port Group Interface properties of an integrated Switch allows devices that connect to the same IPv6 network as the Firewall to acquire IP addresses automatically. The Router Advertisement messages specify what configuration information the Firewall offers to devices that connect to the same network as the firewall.
