Preventing Network Attacks

This chapter describes how to prevent network attacks by configuring threat detection, TCP 
normalization, limiting of TCP and UDP connections, and many other protection features.

This chapter includes the following sections:

•

Configuring Threat Detection, page 23-1

•

Configuring TCP Normalization, page 23-11

•

Configuring Connection Limits and Timeouts, page 23-14

•

Preventing IP Spoofing, page 23-16

•

Configuring the Fragment Size, page 23-17

Blocking Unwanted Connections, page 23-17

•

Configuring IP Audit for Basic IPS Support, page 23-18

Configuring Threat Detection

This section describes how to configure scanning threat detection and basic threat detection, and also 
how to use statistics to analyze threats. Threat detection is available in single mode only.

This section includes the following topics:

•

Configuring Basic Threat Detection, page 23-1

•

Configuring Scanning Threat Detection, page 23-5

•

Configuring and Viewing Threat Statistics, page 23-7

Configuring Basic Threat Detection

Basic threat detection detects activity that might be related to an attack, such as a DoS attack. Basic 
threat detection is enabled by default.

This section includes the following topics:

•

Basic Threat Detection Overview, page 23-2

•

Configuring Basic Threat Detection, page 23-2

•

Managing Basic Threat Statistics, page 23-4
