How to Disable Packet Filtering

When you run this procedure, both packet filtering and NAT are removed from the kernel. If you use this procedure, you must re-enable Solaris IP Filter in order to reactivate packet filtering and NAT. For more information, see How to Re-Enable Solaris IP Filter.

1. Assume a role that includes the IP Filter Management rights profile, or become superuser.

   You can assign the IP Filter Management rights profile to a role that you create. To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

2. Disable packet filtering and allow all packets to pass into the network.

   # ipf –D

   Note –

   The ipf -D command flushes the rules from the rule set. When you re-enable filtering, you must add rules to the rule set.
