Understanding How to Control Inbound Traffic Based on Protocols

This topic describes the inbound system protocols on the specified zone or interface.

Any host-inbound traffic that corresponds to a protocol listed under the host-inbound traffic option is allowed. For example, if anywhere in the configuration, you map a protocol to a port number other than the default, you can specify the protocol in the host-inbound traffic option, and the new port number will be used. Table 11 lists the supported protocols. A value of all indicates that traffic from all of the following protocols is allowed inbound on the specified interfaces (of the zone, or a single specified interface).

Supported System Services

all

igmp

pim

sap

bfd

ldp

rip

vrrp

bgp

msdp

ripng

nhrp

router-discovery

dvmrp

ospf

rsvp

ndp

pgm

ospf3

 

Note: If DVMRP or PIM is enabled for an interface, IGMP and MLD host-inbound traffic is enabled automatically. Because ISIS uses OSI addressing and should not generate any IP traffic, there is no host-inbound traffic option for the ISIS protocol.
