    Understanding How to Control Inbound Traffic Based on Protocols

    This topic describes the inbound system protocols on the specified zone or interface.

    Any host-inbound traffic that corresponds to a protocol listed under the host-inbound traffic option is allowed. For example, if anywhere in the configuration, you map a protocol to a port number other than the default, you can specify the protocol in the host-inbound traffic option, and the new port number will be used. Table 1 lists the supported protocols. A value of all indicates that traffic from all of the following protocols is allowed inbound on the specified interfaces (of the zone, or a single specified interface).

    Note: If DVMRP or PIM is enabled for an interface, IGMP and MLD host-inbound traffic is enabled automatically. Because IS-IS uses OSI addressing and should not generate any IP traffic, there is no host-inbound traffic option for the IS-IS protocol.

    Note: You do not need to configure Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) on host-inbound traffic, because the NDP is enabled by default.

    Configuration option for IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) is available. The configuration option is set protocol neighbor-discovery onlink-subnet-only command. This option will prevent the device from responding to a Neighbor Solicitation (NS) from a prefix which was not included as one of the device interface prefixes.

    Note: The Routing Engine needs to be rebooted after setting this option to remove any possibility of a previous IPv6 entry from remaining in the forwarding-table.
