Since IP address 192.168.40.5 is in whitelist, if the host at IP address 192.168.40.5 initiates more than
20 TCP connections to the UCM6100 within 1 minute, it will not be added into UCM6100 blacklist. It
can still establish TCP connection with the UCM6100.

FAIL2BAN

Fail2Ban feature on the UCM6100 provides intrusion detection and prevention for authentication errors in
SIP REGISTER, INVITE and SUBSCRIBE. Once the entry is detected within "Max Retry Duration", the
UCM6100 will take action to forbid the host for certain period as defined in "Banned Duration". This feature
helps prevent SIP brute force attacks to the PBX system.
