Configuring A Flood Attack Defense Policy - HPE Moonshot 45Gc Security Configuration Manual

Configuring a flood attack defense policy

Attack detection and prevention takes effect only on packets destined for the device in the current
release. The IP address specified for IP address-specific flood attack detection must be an IP
address of a Layer 3 interface on the device.
Flood attack detection monitors the rate at which connections are initiated to the device.
With flood attack detection configured, the device is in attack detection state. When the packet
sending rate to an IP address reaches or exceeds the threshold, the device enters prevention state
and takes the specified actions. When the rate is below the silence threshold (three-fourths of the
threshold), the device returns to the attack detection state.
You can configure flood attack detection and prevention for a specific IP address. For non-specific IP
addresses, the device uses the global attack prevention settings.
Configuring a SYN flood attack defense policy
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter attack defense policy
view.
3. Enable global SYN flood
attack detection.
4. Set the global trigger
threshold for SYN flood
attack prevention.
5. Specify global actions
against SYN flood attacks.
6. Configure IP
address-specific SYN flood
attack detection.
Configuring an ACK flood attack defense policy
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter attack defense policy
view.
3. Enable global ACK flood
attack detection.
4. Set the global trigger
threshold for ACK flood
attack prevention.
5. Specify global actions
against ACK flood attacks.
6. Configure IP
address-specific ACK flood
attack detection.
