Networking::PacketFilterGlobals::set_default_action

Introduced : BIG-IP_v11.0.0
Sets the action to take for packets that do not match the criteria specified in any of the packet filter rules. The default is accept. Note that you can effectively stop all traffic to the system if you select either discard or reject, and you do not configure additional packet filter rules to accept management or other acceptable traffic. We recommend that you leave this setting at the default value, accept.
