NO, It wont allow until you have a policy configured. Policies are based on 5 tuplesHi, if a FW is said to be a stateful firewall, then will it allow a TCP packet to pass through it(outbound), if i haven't sent a TCP SYN to initiate a TCP Session before sending this TCP packet? I heard that Statefull firewall won't allow any TCP packets, other than TCP SYNs to pass through it, if there is no session corresponding a TCP packet is maintained in FW's session table. and FW will create a new session only when it detects a TCP SYN. is this correct? comments plz.
source IP, Destination IP, Source port, destination port and Protocol. Again the polices are of two types- Inbound and outbound.Depending up on the configured policy the traffic passes thro whether its inbound or outbound.
