Advanced Settings

7.1

Overview

Advanced Settings contain various global settings for a firewall in terms of
packet size limits, connection timeouts, protocol parameters, the structural
integrity tests each packet shall be subjected to, etc.
Generally, the default values given in these sections are appropriate for
most installations. But such option gives advanced installations a
possibility to configure almost all aspects of the firewall.
WebUI
:
In the WebUI, there is an Advanced Settings section located at:
System Advanced Settings.
Most of the general configurable settings are available here. Other
advanced settings for customizing specific functions of the firewall can be
found in the configuration page inside the relevant sections.
One case that requires changes to the advanced settings is explained
in 17.4, Example: Enabling HTTP authentication via local user database.
Note that in this example, advanced settings in the firewall's Remote
Management section need to be changed to resolve a TCP port number
collision with HTTP authentication service.
