To disable defensive filtering for a TCP/IP stack, while you continue
to support defensive filtering for other stacks on the system, take
the following actions:
- Update the DMD configuration file and change the mode of the stack
to Inactive on the DmStackConfig statement.
- Issue the MODIFY REFRESH command for the DMD.
Results: - All defensive filters are removed from the stack.
- The DMD's persistent memory of defensive filters for the stack
is cleared.
- Additional defensive filters cannot be added to this stack.
Tips: - If you cannot update your DMD configuration file, you can issue
the MODIFY FORCE_INACTIVE command for the DMD to disable defensive
filtering for the stack. However, a later MODIFY REFRESH command will
use the DMD configuration file, so if you want defensive filtering
to remain disabled, you should update the DMD configuration file as
soon as possible.
- Removing the DmStackConfig statement from the DMD configuration
file does not delete existing defensive filters from the stack. If
you remove the DmStackConfig statement, the defensive filters remain
in the stack until they expire. To remove the defensive filters from
the stack immediately, add the DmStackConfig statement back to the
DMD configuration file and specify mode Inactive, or issue the MODIFY
FORCE_INACTIVE command for the stack.
