That's how I understand it. Port Lockdown is used to limit access the self-ip address itself, rather than the scenario you outline. It's a feature to secure the interface.

 

 

One thing to mention - if the system is part of a redundant pair then Allow Default is the suggested option. If you click on Help on that screen it will give you a list of the allowed protocols / services when this is selected.
