Configuring security checks

You can enable various security checks for incoming TCP/UDP packets. The packet is dropped if it matches one of the security rules that have been enabled. Use the appropriate syntax for your FortiSwitch model:

Syntax (for FS-108D-POE, FS-112D-POE, and FS-224D-POE)

config switch security-feature

set tcp-syn-data {enable | disable}

set tcp-udp-port-zero {enable | disable}

set tcp_flag_zero {enable | disable}

set tcp_flag_FUP {enable | disable}

set tcp_flag_SF {enable | disable}

set tcp_flag_SR {enable | disable}

set tcp_frag_ipv4_icmp {enable | disable}

set tcp_arp_mac_mismatch {enable | disable}
