6. When Inspect Mode is selected, the Restrict analysis at resource limit option is
displayed. It is enabled by default. When this option is enabled, the appliance scans the
maximum number of packets it can process. The remaining packets are allowed to pass
without inspection. If this option is disabled, traffic will be throttled in the flow of traffic
exceeds the firewalls inspection ability.
Note Disabling the Restrict analysis at resource limit option will reduce throughput if the rate
of traffic exceeds the appliance’s ability to scan all traffic.
