Action objects

Using the Action objects button, you define actions that the IPv6 firewall runs when a filter is true.

Click on Add to create a new action.

You can set the following properties for the object:

Name
Specifies the name of the object.
Count
When this limit is exceeded, the firewall performs the action.
Unit
Determines the unit for the limits. Select the corresponding value in the drop-down menu.
Time
Determines the measurement period that the firewall applies to the limit. Select the corresponding value in the drop-down menu.
Context
Determines the context that the firewall applies to the limit. Select the corresponding value in the drop-down menu.
Reset counter
If you enable this option, the firewall resets the counter after running the action.
Note: You can only activate this option if you set the Time value to "absolute".
Common counter
If you enable this option, the firewall adds all action triggers together in one counter.
Note: You can only activate this option if you set the Context value to "per station" or "global".

Note: Further information about DiffServ CodePoints is available in the section Quality of Service.
DiffServ-CP value
Determines the value for the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP).
Note: You can only activate this option if you set Mark with DiffServ-CP to the option "Value".
