   • ACCEPT – lets the traffic through to the next phase of analysis l DENY – drops the session

While there are not as many Action options as with the IPv4 policy, because the choice of Action determines the settings and options below this parameter in the window the rest of the step are associated with a specific Action.

Settings if the ACCEPT action is selected.
