RE: [FW1] Is there any reason not to use spoof tracking on each F W interface?




Hi,

anti-spoofing and make things work then enable it later, this saves fighting
all the "rule 0" events each time you change something.

Why is that?

What do you mean by 'this saves fighting all the "rule 0" events each time 
you change something'.

Good point.

>>Running it on the FW has the advantage of protecting all interfaces - so 
>>that you can cover threats that originate both internally and externally.

Also, even if one has an upstream router, what could it hurt to run a little 
extra anti-spoofing?
