7.15 Protecting from Internet Attacks

Advanced > Advanced Network > Attack Checks
Attacks can be malicious security breaches or unintentional network issues that render
the controller unusable. Attack checks allow you to manage Option security threats
such as continual ping requests and discovery via ARP scans. TCP and UDP flood
attack checks can be enabled to manage extreme usage of Option resources.
Additionally certain Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks can be blocked. These attacks,
if uninhibited, can use up processing power and bandwidth and prevent regular
network services from running normally. ICMP packet flooding, SYN traffic flooding,
and Echo storm thresholds can be configured to temporarily suspect traffic from the
offending source.
