Configure advanced properties for Layer 2 Firewall interfaces
Advanced settings allow you to configure SYN Rate Limits and Log Compression on the Layer 2 Firewall’s interfaces.
SYN Rate Limits are applied to TCP connections. Each TCP connection starts with a SYN packet. If the SYN Rate Limits defined for the Layer 2 Firewall are reached the Layer 2 Firewall drops new TCP connections.
Log Compression is useful when the number of Discard logs becomes high (for example, as a result of a SYN flood attack).
Note: The SYN Rate Limits and Log Compression settings in the interface properties override the Layer 2 Firewall’s general SYN Rate Limits and Log Compression settings that are defined on the Advanced tab in the Layer 2 Firewall and Layer 2 Firewall Cluster properties.
