User-Defined Port-Based Exception Filters
You can add specific filtering rules at the port level in addition to the built-in rules. Such rules give you
the capability of restricting access to a port, for specific reasons, such as a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.
The filtering rules are set up in the same manner as filtering rules defined for a WM-AD — specify an
IP address and then either allow or deny traffic to that address. For more information, see
“Configuring
Filtering Rules for a WM-AD” on page 122 .
The rules defined for port exception filters are prepended to the normal set of restrictive exception
filters and have precedence over the system's normal protection enforcement.
WARNING!
If defined improperly, user exception rules may seriously compromise the systems normal security enforcement rules.
They may also disrupt the system's normal operation and even prevent system functionality altogether. It is advised
to only augment the exception-filtering mechanism if absolutely necessary.
