You first set the limit of how many you want to accept, then once that limit is passed, it goes to the next rule, which is to drop it. The original message asked how to limit the pings to only three allowed and then the rest blocked. You're rule blocks the first three and provided you have the policy set to allow, allow the rest. ~Daniel
