Re: PING

Type GO CFGTCP

Take option 4 (Work with TCP/IP port restrictions)

Restrict port 7, protocol UDP

 

I believe that this is the Ping port.  I know that the ping protocol is UDP.  This will restrict TCP/IP traffic to port 7 using the protocol UDP.

Hi,

 

On the unix machine there is a way to block

incoming PING from the outside world ,

 

How can it be on the AS/400 ?

 

Thanks,
