PingOfDeathDetectionEnabled Property of the IFPCAttackDetection Interface

The PingOfDeathDetectionEnabled property gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether Forefront TMG will generate an event when a ping-of-death attack is detected.

A ping-of-death attack is one in which a large amount of information is appended to an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request (ping) packet.

[C++]

HRESULT put_PingOfDeathDetectionEnabled(
	VARIANT_BOOL fPingOfDeathDetectionEnabled
);
HRESULT get_PingOfDeathDetectionEnabled(
	VARIANT_BOOL* pfPingOfDeathDetectionEnabled
);

Parameters

pfPingOfDeathDetectionEnabled: Pointer to a Boolean value that is set on return to VARIANT_TRUE if Forefront TMG will generate an event when a ping-of-death attack is detected, or to VARIANT_FALSE if Forefront TMG will not generate an event when a ping-of-death attack is detected.
fPingOfDeathDetectionEnabled: Boolean value that indicates whether Forefront TMG will generate an event when a ping-of-death attack is detected.

Return Value

These property methods return S_OK if the call is successful; otherwise, they return an error code.
