Remarks
This property specifies the protocol that the cmdlet will use to tunnel traffic through the FirewallServer proxy.
| Type | Default Port | Description |
| TUNNEL | 80 | When this is set, the cmdlet opens a connection to DB2 and traffic flows back and forth through the proxy. |
| SOCKS4 | 1080 | When this is set, the cmdlet sends data through the SOCKS 4 proxy specified by FirewallServer and FirewallPort and passes the FirewallUser value to the proxy, which determines if the connection request should be granted. |
| SOCKS5 | 1080 | When this is set, the cmdlet sends data through the SOCKS 5 proxy specified by FirewallServer and FirewallPort. If your proxy requires authentication, set FirewallUser and FirewallPassword to credentials the proxy recognizes. |
