Arguments

Field Name Description
replyToEchos enumeration Optional: Sets the Sun Secure Application Switch to reply to ICMP echo requests. If set to true, the system responds to these requests (typically ping packets); if set to false the packet is dropped.

The default setting is "true".

Valid values: true, false
sendTimeExceeds enumeration Optional: Sets the Sun Secure Application Switch to send an ICMP TTL exceeded error message. If set to true, the system sends this message to the error log. When the time-to-live timer has expired in the IP header. If set to false, the packet is dropped.

The default setting is "true".

Valid values: true, false
sendParamProbs enumeration Optional: Sets the Sun Secure Application Switch to send an ICMP Parameter Problem error message. If set to true, the system forwards the packet and responds to the source with this message if the IP header contains options that are not supported. If set to false, the system forwards the packet but does not alert the source.

The default setting is "false".

Valid values: true, false
replyToMasks enumeration Optional: Sets the Sun Secure Application Switch to reply to subnet mask lookup requests. If set to true, when the system receives a lookup request, it compares the source address to the routing table, and if a subnet is returned, sends that information back in a reply. If set to false, the system ignores the request.

The default setting is "true".

Valid values: true, false
