Figure 5.2. Core Networking Settings
This menu allows you to configure core networking settings.
The Allow IPv6 Configuration field determines whether IPv6 may be configured via Webmin.
The Ignore All ICMP ECHO field corresponds to the kernel icmp_echo_ignore_all setting. Setting
Ignore All ICMP ECHO to "yes" will cause the kernel to reject incoming ICMP ECHO request packets.
The Ignore ICMP Broadcasts field corresponds to the kernel icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts setting.
Setting Ignore ICMP Broadcasts to "yes" will cause the kernel to reject incoming ICMP ECHO request
packets if their destination address is a broadcast address.
The Syncookie Protection field corresponds to the kernel tcp_syncookie setting. Setting Syncookie
Protection to "yes" will cause the kernel to protect against SYN flood attacks.
The Send ICMP Redirect field corresponds to the kernel send_redirect setting. Consider a networked
host H1 sending an IP datagram to a remote host H2. H1 is on the same network segment as two
routers: R1 and R2. If host H2 is reachable via R2, and H1 sends an IP datagram to H2 via R1, then
