Denial Of Service - NETGEAR GS716T Software Administration Manual

Denial of Service

Use the Denial of Service (DoS) page to configure DoS control. The GS716T and GS724T
switch provide support for classifying and blocking specific types of DoS attacks. The type of
DoS attacks the switch can detect and prevent are described in
page 45.
Auto-DoS Configuration
The Auto-DoS Configuration page lets you automatically enable all the DoS features available
on the switch, except for TCP and UDP port attacks. See
information about the types of DoS attacks the switch can monitor and block.
Note: When Auto-DoS is enabled, a port that is under attack is
automatically shut down and does not forward traffic. The port can
be enabled only manually by the admin user. A warning message is
logged to the buffered log and is sent to the Syslog server.
To access the Auto-DoS Configuration page, click System
Service Auto-DoS Configuration.
