Definition " Low" & " High" in Destination Port

Dear All, 1. I have Fortiget-100, i need to know what' s the mean of " Low" and " High" in Destination Port when configure Firewall => Service => Custom. Low - High = port range from low port number to high port number or Low = low priority High = High priority ?? 2. Then, when i want to block TCP port 665 (the port which curently being use by virus W32.Netsky.Z to spread), are my configuration below is correct? Source Port: Low = 1 High = 65535 Destination Port: Low = 1 High = 665 Thanks before

Low, high is used to declare RANGE of ports. Some protocols start and end from specific ports to specific ports (or ranges of ports). A web brouser will use a port from 1024 to 65535 (source port) to conect only to port 80 (destination port). High and low is for this reason.

You have the source port information correct, but your Destination information settings will block every port between 1 and 665. Change it to Low=665 and High=665, and you' ll only block port 665. Good luck -Eric Wall
