QuestionQ51

Routing

If you configure set tcp-mss-sender and set tcp-mss-receiver in a firewall policy, how do they affect the size and handling of TCP packets on the network?

  • A The maximum segment size permitted in the firewall policy determines whether TCP packets are allowed or denied.
  • B The TCP packet modifies the packet size only if no fragmentation occurs.
  • C Applying commands in a firewall policy determines the largest payload a device can handle in a single TCP segment.
  • D The commands affect the payload size of the packet and the size of the IP header for handling TCP packets.
Explanation

TCP MSS defines the maximum payload data that can be sent in a single TCP segment. Configuring sender and receiver MSS values in a firewall policy limits the largest TCP payload used in the respective direction; it does not control permit/deny behavior or alter the IP-header size.
