TCP Echo Service on an interface

[eugenep]

Hi all,

Is it possible to get an interface to respond to the TCP Echo Service on Port 7 via a management profile or some other way?

I don't mean a ICMP echo request (Ping) but what's described here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_Protocol

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc862

I have an appliance that tests network connectivity by using this against its gateway which is an interface on the PAN unit.

Thanks,

Eugene

Firewall interface can only respond to the services that are defined under the management profile. But Echo request is not present in the management profile.
