11.9 Anti-Probing

If an outside user attempts to probe an unsupported port on your P-660HWP-Dx, an ICMP
response packet is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to know the P-
660HWP-Dx exists. The P-660HWP-Dx supports anti-probing, which prevents the ICMP
response packet from being sent. This keeps outsiders from discovering your P-660HWP-Dx
when unsupported ports are probed.
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is a message control and error-reporting protocol
between a host server and a gateway to the Internet. ICMP uses Internet Protocol (IP)
datagrams, but the messages are processed by the TCP/IP software and directly apparent to the
application user.
