4.10 Deep Packet Inspection OPC 
Enforcer
This dialog allows you to specify the settings for the OPC Content Inspector.
OPC is an integration protocol for industrial environments. The DPI OPC 
Enforcer is a function that supports the network security. The device blocks 
data traffic that violates the specified DPI OPC Enforcer rules. Upon request, 
the device verifies the data packets for their plausibility and their fragment 
characteristics. The device verifies and observes OPC data connections and 
helps protect against invalid or fake data packets. The function dynamically 
activates TCP ports for each data connection. When requested by an OPC 
server, the device sets up the data connection only between the OPC server 
and the related OPC client.
Note: When applying the rules saved in the device to the data stream and 
when activating/deactivating the "Routing" function on a router interface, the 
device removes the state information from the packet filter. This includes 
potential DCE RPC information of the OPC enforcer. In the process, the 
device interrupts open communication connections.
