IP and UDP Checksum Enforcement

To configure IP and UDP checksum enforcement:

1. Navigate to Network > Firewall > Advanced.

2. Scroll to IP and UDP Checksum Enforcement.

   

3. To drop packets with incorrect checksums in the IP header by enforcing IP header checksums, select Enable IP header checksum enforcement. This option is not selected by default.

4. To drop packets with incorrect checksums in the UDP header by enforcing UDP header checksums, select Enable UDP checksum enforcement. This option is not selected by default.

5. To get data about the hardware checksum offload support, select Enable Hardware Checksum Offload.

   This option is available only in SonicOS NSv series firewall platform.

6. Click ACCEPT.
