(Scan detection only.) Select a sensitivity level so as to reduce false positives in
your network. If you choose low sensitivity, then scan thresholds and sample times
are set low, so you will have fewer logs and false positives; however some traffic
anomaly attacks may not be detected.
If you choose high sensitivity, then scan thresholds and sample times are set high,
so most traffic anomaly attacks will be detected; however you will have more logs
and false positives.
Specify for how many seconds the ZyWALL blocks all packets from being sent to
the victim (destination) of a detected anomaly attack.
This is the name of the traffic anomaly rule. Click the Name column heading to sort
in ascending or descending order according to the rule name.
Click the icon to enable or disable a rule or group of rules.
Select whether to have the ZyWALL generate a log (log), log and alert (log alert) or
neither (no) when traffic matches this anomaly rule. See
for more on logs.
Select what the ZyWALL should do when a packet matches a rule.
none: The ZyWALL takes no action when a packet matches the signature(s).
block: The ZyWALL silently drops packets that matches the rule. Neither sender
nor receiver are notified.
For flood detection you can set the number of detected flood packets per second
that causes the ZyWALL to take the configured action.
Click OK to save your settings to the ZyWALL, complete the profile and return to
the profile summary page.
Click Cancel to return to the profile summary page without saving any changes.
Click Save to save the configuration to the ZyWALL but remain in the same page.
You may then go to the another profile screen (tab) in order to complete the profile.
Click OK in the final profile screen to complete the profile.
