Flood Protection

This tab is available under Network > Firewall > Flood Protection and is available only Classic mode of NSsp, NSa and TZ platforms.

The Flood Protection section allows you to:

• Manage:

  • TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) traffic settings such as Layer 2/Layer3 flood protection, WAN DDOS protection

  • UDP (User Datagram Protocol) flood protection

  • ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) or ICMPv6 flood protection.

• View statistics through the security appliance:
  • TCP traffic
  • UDP traffic
  • ICMP or ICMPv6 traffic

SonicWall defends against UDP/ICMP flood attacks by monitoring IPv6 UDP/ICMP traffic flows to defined destinations. UDP/ICMP packets to a specified destination are dropped if one or more sources exceeds a configured threshold.
